24.01.2022 The University of Sydney Measuring and exercising your feet Would you like to see how you can move the arch of your foot and find out if it helps you exercise your feet?... Do you think you may have weak feet or problematic feet or you’re just interested in exercising your feet? We are looking for participants for a research study that examines the reliability of a device that measures foot arch movement and the feasibility of doing specific foot movements. The aim is to assess a biofeedback exercise device with a range of people to assist in determining if the device assists to help practice foot exercises. Who can volunteer? Participants must be healthy adults aged 18+ years who have not had a major foot problem or foot surgery in the last six months, and currently don’t have an illness that may stop them being able to walk barefoot for 50 meters. If you would like more information, please contact Penny Latey, 9351 9017 email [email protected] Image may contain: one or more people and shoes Like Comment Share

23.01.2022 Hello, This is a little selfie of Penny and me. I am one of three in the "back office" helping to run Modern Pilates and assist all our clients (and prospective clients) with any queries, bookings or in fact anything!

23.01.2022 Hi everyone, we wanted to send out a quick message, in light of recent and developing circumstances surrounding the outbreak of Corona virus. We would like to reassure you of our existing strict hygiene policies that are standard practice for Modern Pilates, as well as detail some of the additional preventive measures we are taking to ensure the safety of our clients, our community and our staff. We are taking extra precautions with reinforced hygiene regimes, extra disinfect...ive cleaning of equipment and the studio before and after each session. We are lucky to have a large open-plan studio which allows us to provide small and individual classes that meet the required social distancing guidelines. We have modified our bookings to space out client crossover and ensure there is a minimum social distance of 1.5m. We have not had anyone within our staff or clientele report any exposure to Corona virus; we do, however, kindly ask anyone with any feelings of cold/flu like symptoms to refrain from coming into the studio. Please call or email with as much notice as possible to cancel your appointment if you are feeling unwell. In addition to our standard studio hygiene procedures, including our policy for our clients to bring their own clean towel and fresh socks to appointments and classes, the following changes have been made to help protect both our staff and clients: 1) Upon entering the clinic, we ask that everyone immediately wash their hands and/or use the hand sanitiser provided at the front desk. 2) All Pilates equipment and reformers are thoroughly wiped down with disinfectant alcohol wipes after each use. 3) We ask that you take care in collecting your personal items after appointments and classes towels, water bottles, clothing etc We hope that the above measures do not inconvenience anyone too much and hope everyone is keeping their health and safety a top priority. Thank you for cooperating and we look forward to seeing you in the studio soon.

15.01.2022 Sister Josephine Mitchell has been coming to Modern Pilates for many years. Josephine likes the connection of concentrating the mind and body and getting them to work together. The exercises need to be done slowly while concentrating hard which she feels makes the exercises more meaningful. Today she featured in some photos in the studio for Penny to use in a workshop she will be conducting in Korea next weekend.

14.01.2022 We recently received this wonderful review from Marco and I thought I would share it with you. "I haven't been for a while in 2017 because this year my work always seems to schedule a meeting when I want to go. But I have attended for years at Modern Pilates and they are fantastic. Penny, Janelle. Faye and the rest of the crew are simply the nicest & most caring people. And always committed to getting you better. I have been to various yoga and pilates classes in the past wit...h other providers. And what has always struck me at other places is that (no matter how much they hide it) they are first and foremost 'a business' and interested more in my money than me. Of course every place has to be businesslike to survive. But Penny and the rest of the staff, really put people first. I know this review is a bit 'gushing' and some cynics out there might wonder if it is fake or not. But 'nice' people and 'nice' businesses deserve wonderful publicity & every success; because they really 'try hard' for their customers. Penny and Modern Pilates is such a place. And the reason I have written this review. I cannot recommend them more highly." Marco See more
