Adapt with Pilates was originally founded by Claire MacGeachy, an Exercise Physiologist with a passion for corrective movement methods, holistic health care and sports performance.

Claire started using the Pilates method in her exercise rehabilitation clinics, with patient’s working through complex/chronic injury concerns. Claire could see the impact of regular teachings with the Pilates method had on injury outcomes and decided to open a small studio to implement this method, at a higher degree. The name of the Pilates studio was originally formed from Claire’s passion of science and the famous quote by Charles Darwin – “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change”.

The Pilates studio is much more than just a place for movement and exercise. It was formed with a holistic approach in mind, to tie in nutrition, movement, strength, adaptability to the elements, as well as recovery. This is where the adapt concept comes into the way we teach and guide our client’s with both holistic health and daily movement in mind. Claire is now taking booking for both individual and group classes, also with HICAPS available.

I have a Bachelor of Exercise Science and have just completed my Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology. My degree has led me to help people reach their goals by providing education and guidance throughout the process. Being active and creating a healthy balanced lifestyle is something that has always been important to me. As I come from a sporting background growing up playing touch football, rugby league and rugby union 7s and crossfit; exercise is a strong passion of mine!

I first came across Pilates through completing my practical for my Exercise Physiology degree and was lucky enough to complete a large part of this with Claire at Adapt with Pilates. I fell in love with the ideology so much so I completed my Matwork Level 1 and Equipment Level 1,2 & 3.

I have learnt how important being able to understand how your body works and able to control movements allows us to live our lives with ease. Whether it is for rehab of acute or chronic injury/illnesses, sport performance or just to make usual daily activities easier I believe Pilates helps people reach their potential.

Bek is one of our instructors at Adapt with Pilates and is a firm believer of Joseph Pilates words 'Change happens through movement and movement heals'. She lives her life by these words every day of the week. You will find her regularly moving her body in some way as its a non-negotiable habit for her.

Bek fell in love with pilates after completing her first reformer class 5 years ago and since travelling overseas to see the world, learning about movement was a priority. While in Mexico she recieved her yoga teaching certification and has since completed her certificate 4 in matwork and reformer pilates with Breathe Education. She loves teaching and helping others to move, grow and have fun ever since. Bek is currently completing further study with a diploma of clinical pilates to learn as much as she can to spread further insight into the pilates method as well as helping her clients feel healthy, confident, strong and happy!

Rebekah is available for group and private one on one sessions within the studio.
