What Is The Teenager Reformer Pilates Program at KT?
Since launching in 2021, KT Health & Wellness has become the go-to health and wellness clinic in Menai. Founded by Dr. Luke and Dr. Melinda Madden, we created KT with a clear mission: to not only help our community overcome pain, injuries, and discomfort, but also to offer long-term, sustainable health solutions that add more energy, vitality, and years to your life.
Our holistic approach includes expert Osteopathy, Chiropractic, and Remedial Massage for spinal, joint, and soft tissue injury management, an Infrared Sauna for detoxification, energy restoration, and inflammation reduction, and the highest-quality Reformer Pilates studio we could build.
All of our Pilates classes are led by qualified Osteopaths and Chiropractors who bring extensive knowledge in movement, biomechanics, and injury prevention. Our newest offering, the Teenager Reformer Pilates Program, has been carefully built with the developing teenage body in mind.
As teenagers grow, their bodies undergo significant physical changes: rapid growth spurts, changes in posture, coordination challenges, and increased physical and emotional demands from school, sport, and social life. While sport might have been a part of their routine when they were younger, adolescence often brings new pressures around self-esteem and social image, which can lead to teens stepping away from physical activity altogether.
We created this program to offer a positive, supportive, and structured alternative.
The Teenager Reformer Pilates Program is designed to:
- Support healthy physical development
- Improve posture and movement control
- Build strength, flexibility, and coordination
- Improve self esteem & body awareness
- Build confidence while lengthening & toning their body
- Offer a safe space just for teens to train and feel supported
- Provide a fun and motivating fitness environment, no experience required
All classes are run exclusively for teenagers and are closed to the general public. This ensures privacy, comfort, and a focused environment. The sessions will be led by our highly trained osteopaths and chiropractors who understand the unique needs of growing bodies, and how to push, challenge, and progress them safely.
Here’s how it works:
- Classes will run during the school term, Monday to Friday at 3pm and 4pm, straight after school.
- Every teenager will undergo an induction session to assess their movement, teach them how the Reformer works, educate them on why posture and technique matter & also how to get the most benefit from Pilates.
- The program begins with a 28-day beginner intake, where teens can train 2–3 times per week.
- All training equipment and essentials are provided, including a Pilates mat, sticky socks, towel, resistance bands, and a reusable water bottle.
Because we keep our class sizes small to ensure quality attention and instruction, spaces are strictly limited.
If you think this might be the right fit for your teenager, simply fill in the form below and one of our team will be in touch to discuss your child’s goals, needs, and whether this program is the right match.
We can’t wait to welcome your teenager to the KT community.
WHY KT & NOT ANY OTHER STUDIO?
Why Our Teenager Reformer Pilates Program Just Makes Sense
- Guided by Health Professionals
Instead of guessing or following random advice online, your teen is coached by Osteopaths and Chiropractors who understand the developing body. We don’t just teach Pilates, we teach movement that supports healthy growth, reduces injury risk, and builds long-term strength – and saves them on treating injuries & pain later in life. - Safe and Secure Training Environment
No need to worry about unsafe gym machines or unsupervised spaces. Our studio is a controlled, nurturing environment where safety comes first, especially for growing bodies that need care, not chaos. - Privacy and No Adults in Class
We get it, teenagers don’t want to work out around adults, especially in vulnerable growth stages. That’s why these classes are strictly for teens. It’s their space to move, learn, and grow without judgement, comparison or staring strangers. - Perfect for In Between Sport Seasons
Off-season? On break? This is the ideal way to stay active and strong without the pressure of game days. Pilates keeps muscles switched on, joints mobile, and motivation high during downtime. - Build Strength in the Off Season
Rather than losing momentum in the off season, we help teens build a stronger, more balanced body, so they return to sport faster, fitter, and more focused. - Enhance Existing Sports Performance
Whether your teen plays netball, football, soccer, swimming, or dance, pilates will improve their core strength, balance, control, and coordination. It’s a proven way to level up performance and reduce injuries. - Sick of Sport, But Not Ready for the Gym?
Not every teen wants to continue with sport. But that doesn’t mean they want to give up on fitness. Our program is the perfect middle ground, structured, fun, low-pressure training without the intimidation of a gym environment. - Avoid Injury and Guesswork at the Gym
The gym can be overwhelming and risky if you don’t know what you’re doing. With us, there’s no guesswork, every session is guided, every movement is safe, and we’re always watching form and technique. - Body-Aware, Posture-Focused, and Strength-Building
As bodies change during adolescence, it’s easy to feel disconnected or self-conscious. Pilates helps teens reconnect with their body, stand taller, and move better, all while getting stronger and more toned. - No Judgement, No Comparison – Just Progress
Our studio is a space where teens can focus on their own journey. No posing, no pressure. Just encouragement, good vibes, and the right kind of challenge. - Supportive for Return-to-Sport or Post-Sport Rehab
Coming back from an injury? Stopped sport and feel like you’ve lost strength or movement? Our program offers a smart, supportive way to rebuild safely and regain confidence. - Rain, Hail, or Shine – We Train
Forget washed-out training sessions or missed fitness goals due to bad weather. Our indoor studio means consistent, reliable sessions all year round. - Do Teenagers Even Need Pilates?
If you’ve ever lifted a teenagers school bag or backpack, you’ll know straight away why strength and spinal posture are so vital for teenagers. Despite technological advancements, our kids are still carrying a 10kg bag to school each day. This causes significant strain on their muscular and spinal system. Pilates will teach them core exercises designed to build their spine and strength to ensure healthy & supportive growing.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
KT Inspiration
kintsugi - to mend what is broken with gold...
KT is inspired by the Japanese term Kintsugi. This is a story about mending a broken teapot with glue but adding gold dust into the glue. The result is taking what was orginally 1 piece, and turning into a stronger and more beautiful piece of everyday equipment. Reformer Pilates at KT Health & Wellness are 50 minute classes that will elongate your body to have you feeling taller and longer, provide a full body workout – you will sweat in our classes – it’s not a chill out session, and will build your strength and endurance while conditioning your core to handle the stress you place through your body on a daily basis.

kt reformer pilates
There are many variations on how Pilates is taught and practiced. But the at foundation of all Pilates practice, there are a number of common components. Pilates focuses on the core stabilising muscles, spinal alignment, posture, and breathing. It uses exercises and stretches (with or without the use of equipment) to improve physical strength, flexibility, posture, and self-awareness. Drawing upon relevant clinical research, Reformer Pilates training provides an evidence-based approach to teaching Pilates in the clinical setting. Pilates involves learning a variety of movements addressing lumbopelvic stability, postural education, correct movement patterning, and body awareness.
Reformer Pilates is the closest form of Pilates that mimics what Joseph Pilates originally intended when he created the pilates training program. Back in the Second World War, Joseph would use old hospital bed springs and create resistance training movements for injured soldiers to increase their movement and overall health. Reformer pilates still use springs as both an Ode to Joseph and also they provide a dynamic resistance along the line of direction for the muscle and joint.
