The depth and breadth of our founder’s resume are almost as impressive as her Lululemon tight collection. Graduating from Cardiff University with a (BA) Honours in Sport and Human Movement and a Post Grad in Education at Southampton, Jaime was firm in her pursuit of a métier in movement from the get-go.

Following an 8-year tenure as a High School PE Teacher, Jaime traded the popular seaside town of Bournemouth (UK) for slightly more sun-drenched South Curl Curl and began working as a Personal Trainer at Richard Branson’s inaugural Australian fitness flagship. Whilst maintaining her client portfolio, Jaime’s love for teaching had not subsided and so Group Fitness began to punctuate her diary. She rapidly developed a strong following through high-energy classes like Body Attack and strength-based training through the Les Mills global giant Body Pump. Her penchant for premium squat technique and the perfect push-up, set an inspirational precedent, her classes constantly obtaining full house status. This was all BP (Before Pilates) when Jaime discovered a passion that would surpass her motivation to move herself and others more than ever before.

For Jaime, Pilates provides a wholly inclusive movement programme for all body types and levels of physical aptitude. From Tri-athletes to postpartum mums, Jaime believes Pilates is a guaranteed gateway to the strongest, leanest, fittest version of you.

Jaime’s slick programming has not only resulted in a continually waitlisted class schedule, but provided a compass for local and international peers aspiring to a flow that leaves you feeling reinvigorated, recharged and re-balanced on every occasion. She pulls from a vast pool of knowledge and an education that includes Polestar, Breathe Education, STOTT classical training via Power Pilates (NYC). Her education interface with Pilates luminaries Lesley Logan and Anula Maiberg cements her commitment to the provision of proven methods, the latest in international innovation, and authenticates The Spring Collective as a premium destination for apparatus base Pilates on the Northern Beaches.

Movement has always been an important part of Laurie’s life. From pivoting around netball courts to pirouetting through Dance Studios, her early years were spent at high speed and normally with a sequin or two in tow. Whilst maintaining a love of dance and sport, Laurie opted into a (BA) Hons Communication Degree at Bournemouth University (UK), where she explored her other favourite topic of people via Social Psychology, Literature and Media. During her final year, Laurie decided to formalise her passion for fitness into a part-time profession gaining an RSA/ OCR in Exercise to Music. Grapevines and Box Steps turned into Hill Climbs and Interval Sprints and with it an introduction to Les Mills RPM, Body Attack and CX Worx. Whilst her addiction to high energy continued, after her second baby (who seemingly received the high-velocity gene at birth), Laurie recognised the implicit need to build the human engine strong from the inside – recognition aided by pro-lapse and 4cm abdominal separation.

Despite initial scepticism as a participant, due to a lack of sweat and sore derriere, Laurie attended an intensive Mat course and peeled back the important layers within Anatomy and Physiology to connect with a discipline that she now loves as much as high kicks and push-ups. A second course on the Reformer cemented Laurie’s appreciation for controlled yet powerful movement and as a result, a schedule that sees the freelance instructor spending an increasing amount of time in grippy socks as well as her faithful Nikes.

Laurie’s Pilates methodology is firmly underpinned by her simple belief that the human body is made to move and that state of mind is optimised if a life incorporates purposeful movement every day.

Energy runs high through Steph’s DNA. With a weekly schedule that oscillates rapidly between Fire-fighting, Iron-Man training and occasional Surf Boat Rowing, if you are feeling low on endorphins, this born and bred Aussie has an excess available for loan!

On completion of her high school certificate, a career in Personal Training ticked all the boxes for the athletic teen, whilst a seed was also planted for the holistic benefits of exercise with mental health. After a short stint on Cruise Ships as a Fit Pro, Steph joined the Branson consortium, where she met Jaime amidst high kicks and an impressively weighted tricep extension within the Group Fitness team.

Whilst initially drawn to cueing burpees in time with Pitball’s Timber, Steph developed a fascination for posture and a love for the little muscles. She began to recognise that her training programme that was full of impact and intensity would only be sustainable if she invested in strengthening her core.

STOTT Trained in both Mat and Reformer Pilates, Steph is well appointed to navigate a comprehensive repertoire, with accessible options for beginners and more intricate progressions for advanced participants.

Steph’s teaching style reflects a magical union between burn and balance, a testament to the reconfiguration of her training. Look out for Steph’s Scooter challenge; your glutes will require a personal fire extinguisher!

The origin of Pilates to strengthen the body and heal the aching limbs of ballerinas is reimagined in the teaching style of Perry Scott. Having studied full time at the Australian Ballet School and then dancing for the inimitable Delattre Dance company in Mainz Germany, Pilates became a personal prescription for Perry before teaching others. Whilst oozing with a creative spirit, Perry opted into a clinical Pilates route, gaining his Diploma in 2020. His rationale for a deeper dive into anatomy and physiology part of a longer-term plan to gain a BA in Physiotherapy.

The fusion of creativity with a clinical foundation means that a class with Perry is full of colour and movement with a clearly constructed, mechanically sound format. In Perry’s classes, spinal articulation is taken seriously, whilst his playlists feature Shirley Bassey for some added sass. As a Seaforth local, Perry spends his downtime soaking up the local flora and fauna whilst cultivating his own impressive indoor jungle! Perry is a joy to be around, an aspirational physical compass for flexibility, and has a real finesse for finding perfect form in all participants.

Rhiannon, or ‘Ren’ as we like to call her, is a quintessential modern mamma. Juggling two small children, an insatiable appetite for ongoing education, and personal love for lifting weights, she is a real deal, live life to the brim kind of girl. Whilst a passion for dance populated her extra curricular school years, injury prompted a pre-mature exit and competitive Surf Boat rowing filled the adrenaline gap. Add a love for all field sports and beach volleyball, this North Curl Curl based Personal Trainer likes her coffee strong and her life action-packed.

Enter Pilates, a practice that she now incorporates into all of her own training and the programmes she writes for her clients. From the elite sports player to those navigating degenerative disc issues, Ren affirms employing Pilates technique will find the fittest version of yourself on every occasion.
