Hot Pilates in Manly: The Workout Everyone’s Talking About

It all begins with an idea.

Hot Pilates has taken off around the world — and now it’s part of Manly’s fitness culture.

Hot mat Pilates combines classic Pilates movements with the benefits of training in a heated room. The warmth helps your muscles loosen, improves circulation, and adds an energising challenge to your workout.

For many people, it’s more than just exercise. Hot Pilates can help build strength, improve posture, and give you that endorphin-fuelled boost to carry into the rest of your day.

Here in Manly, with our love of the ocean and outdoor living, hot Pilates fits perfectly. It’s a workout that makes you feel strong and centred — whether you’re heading out for a surf, walking the dog, or grabbing a coffee with friends afterwards.

If you’ve been curious, we’d love to welcome you into a class and show you what it’s all about.

Infrared Workouts Explained: A Simple Guide

It all begins with an idea.

Infrared might sound high-tech, but it’s actually very simple — and people love the way it feels.

Instead of blasting hot air, infrared lights gently heat your body directly. At Studio Red, we use both far-infrared panels for warmth and red/near-infrared lights that support recovery, circulation, and mood.

This combination means a class that feels comfortable, energising, and restorative all at once. Many people notice they leave not only stronger but also calmer and more refreshed.

Living in Manly, where health and outdoor living go hand-in-hand, infrared workouts offer a modern way to look after both body and mind.

The best way to understand it is to experience it. Come join us and feel the difference.
