Contrology Classes

Classes at Melanie Lorena Contrology are run in an Open Studio format, which is how Joseph Pilates ran his original studio in the 1960’s. This method of learning Pilates encourages the client to find autonomy in their practice while working on their own individual set of exercises. The system of exercises was designed to be remembered by the client so they could fully absorb the work into their mind and body and adopt the method as a lifestyle.

  • Control: Focus on dynamic movements to enhance body awareness.

Hear From Our Clients

  • “I cannot recommend Mel highly enough. In the short time since I have started training with Mel, I have noticed a big difference in my overall core strength, flexibility and general mobility. I find myself walking taller and having an overacrching sense of wellbeing in my life. Mel provides an extraordinary amount of attention to each individual in every session and classes are always small with plenty of room and equipment to choose from. Although each of the class participants are aiming to improve their skills and strength, there is always much camaraderie and laughter. I had never tried Pilates before but Mel makes you feel totally comfortable and supported, regardless of your experience, age or fitness. If you are looking to make a positive transformation in your health, fitness and wellbeing, I would suggest giving Mel a call and having a chat about how Pilates could assist you. You will not regret it” NAHUM

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to invest in theirt health. Abolut superstar - Thanks Mel!” CASS

  • “Mel has tailored a Pilates program to suit my ability post spinal surgery. I am stronger and more able since starting Pilates with Mel last year. Thank you Mel - I always feel so much better for coming to your studio and you are such a beautiful and talkented instructor. Thank you” KRISTY

  • “I started seeing Mel around 6 months postpartum, feeling sore and broken from months of breastfeeding. She has helped me unlearn the Pilates I’d been doing for over 10 years and introduced me to the classical method - what a difference! My body is now moving better than ever and, most importantly, pain-free. Mel is not only incredibly knowledgable but also such a lovely, friendly presence. I genuinely look forward to seeing her each week. The studio has become a real highlight in my routine, and I can’t recommend it enough” DANNI
