Therapeutic Reformer Pilates Perth

Therapeutic Reformer Pilates Perth — for people going through life's transitions.

You don't need to be fit, flexible, or pain-free. Our 45-minute classes are clinically designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Most gyms treat you like a member. We treat you like a person.

Best Body was founded because Scott Wescombe watched too many people — including his own Nan — get treated like a symptom, not a whole person. Seen as a number by a health system that focused on what was wrong, rather than what was possible.

Our therapeutic approach was designed by a Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist, and recognises that pain, movement, and recovery are shaped by the whole person — not just the body part that hurts. Your physical experience, your thoughts and emotions, your life circumstances — they all influence how you feel and how you heal.

Every Instructor is trained in this framework and uses it to deliver the Best Body Signature Experience — meeting you where you are, whether you're recovering from injury, navigating a health transition, or simply trying to feel like yourself again. It's what makes our Reformer Pilates classes in Perth genuinely different. There are hundreds of Pilates studios. There is only one Best Body.

"Our classes are more than a fitness routine — they're a sanctuary for selfcare and rejuvenation. You're not just working towards your best body. You're rekindling your inner spark."

Not yoga. Not the gym. Something that actually works with your body.

The Reformer is a spring-loaded machine that creates resistance through smooth, controlled movement. Unlike high-intensity training that hammers your joints, or yoga practices that can push your body beyond its comfortable range, Reformer Pilates works with your body's natural mechanics.

It was originally developed to rehabilitate injured soldiers. Today the research shows it's one of the most effective forms of exercise for building functional strength, improving posture, reducing chronic pain, and maintaining bone density — and it's safe enough to use during pregnancy or while recovering from surgery.

Best Body's Reformer Pilates classes in Perth run for 45 minutes and are built on a framework developed by a Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist. Our Instructors are trained to understand that how you feel in a class — your confidence, your comfort, your sense of progress — matters just as much as what your body is doing. That's the Best Body Signature Experience.

Designed by clinicians. Not just fitness professionals.

Scott Wescombe — physiotherapist, sports scientist, and author — brought group Reformer Pilates to Western Australia and built Best Body on clinical evidence, not trends.

Together with Tarryn Wescombe, our Exercise Physiologist, the Best Body Signature Experience was developed to give every member a class that works for their whole self — body, mind, and life. That philosophy is baked into every class we run.

Six things members notice within the first few weeks.

01

Strength without bulk

The Reformer builds lean muscle across your arms, legs, glutes, back and core through resistance-based movement. You'll notice it in how you carry yourself before you see it in the mirror.

02

Chronic pain starts to ease

Our therapeutic approach addresses pain as it really is — shaped by the body, the mind, and life circumstances together. Instructors are trained in this framework and apply it in every class.

03

Posture resets

Hours at a desk, years of physical demands, a lifetime of not moving enough. Reformer Pilates systematically reverses the postural damage of modern life — and your Instructor will tell you exactly what's changing.

04

Flexibility returns

Not the painful kind. The kind that means you get off the floor easily, move through your day without stiffness, and feel like your body is on your side again.

05

Your mind gets a break

Reformer Pilates demands your full attention. For 45 minutes, there's no room for the mental load. Members consistently describe it as the most effective stress relief they've found — and the part of the week they guard most fiercely.

06

Bone density is protected

For anyone over 35, bone density loss is a real clinical concern — particularly during and after menopause. The resistance-based loading of Reformer Pilates is one of the most evidence-supported ways to maintain it.

Built for anyone going through a life transition.

Complete beginners

Your Instructor will meet you exactly where you are. No experience needed — every movement is scalable from your very first class.

Recovering from injury

Reformer Pilates was built for rehabilitation. With a clinical team behind the programme, you're in safe hands — and your Instructor will modify every movement accordingly.

Navigating a health transition

Menopause, post-pregnancy, post-surgery, chronic pain — our therapeutic approach was designed for exactly these moments. This is where it earns its name.

Things people ask us before their first class.

I'm not flexible — is that a problem?

Not at all. Flexibility is an outcome of Reformer Pilates, not a prerequisite. Your Instructor will adjust every movement to where your body is today, and you'll build range of motion from there.

I have an old injury. Can I still do it?

In most cases, yes — and Reformer Pilates is often specifically recommended for rehabilitation. Let your Instructor know before class and they'll modify movements accordingly. Our Instructors are trained to work around injuries, not through them.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Most members notice something within the first two or three classes — usually a sense of having used muscles they'd forgotten about. Visible strength and postural changes typically show within 6–12 weeks of regular attendance.

What's the class size?

Our studios have 10–16 Reformers and classes are kept intentionally small so Instructors can give you real, individual attention — not just call out cues to a crowded room.

Is it only for women?

Best Body welcomes both men and women. Our community is warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental — whoever you are and wherever you're starting from.

What does "therapeutic" actually mean?

It means every class is built on a clinical framework developed by a Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist — one that recognises your physical experience, mental state, and life circumstances all shape how you feel and recover. Your Instructor delivers that framework in every session through the Best Body Signature Experience.

Our promise to you

"If you don't feel stronger, more mobile, and genuinely glad you started after your first 6 weeks — we'll refund every cent. Not because we think you'll need it. Because we know you won't."
