Northern Rivers Pilates is a boutique Pilates studio in the heart of Lismore, helping people build strength, improve mobility and move with greater confidence through personalised, intelligent movement.

Specialising in rehabilitation and sports performance, the studio works with a diverse range of clients — from people returning to movement after injury through to beginners building their foundations and experienced clients wanting to improve strength, control and physical performance.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Northern Rivers Pilates provides several ways to experience the Pilates Method. Studio and Rehab Pilates sessions offer highly personalised private and semi-private training, while group Reformer classes provide dynamic resistance-based workouts designed to develop strong, aligned movement. Group Mat Pilates adds another full-body option focused on strength and stability.

The fully equipped studio extends well beyond Reformers, with specialised Pilates apparatus including the Trapeze Table/Cadillac, Wunda and Exo Chairs, Barrels, Spine Corrector, wall units and smaller apparatus. Studio sessions are kept to small groups of around four to five people, allowing exercises to be individualised for rehabilitation, sports-specific training and personal movement goals.

At the heart of the studio is an experienced practitioner team led by founder Kimberley Garlick, who is also a Senior Educator with Polestar International and President of Pilates Association Australia. Several members of the Northern Rivers Pilates team are also educators or mentors within Polestar Pilates Australia.
