MEET THE FOUNDER

 

Sofie Coleman.

Physiotherapist. Studio Owner. Industry Educator.

 

After years practicing as a Physio, I opened my first studio in 2018 and saw a huge shift in my clients results. They were finally exercising consistently, finding community, and transforming their lives.

Coming from a background in Clinical Pilates, I started to notice a pattern — my Pilates clients would plateau after 3 to 5 years if they didn’t also incorporate strength training. The issue? They didn’t want to go to the gym. They loved the Pilates studio — the environment, the experience, the way it made them feel.

So I began adding strength into our Reformer classes — combining dumbbells and spring resistance with the Pilates foundation they already trusted. The result? Raving clients. Full classes. Stronger outcomes.

Building on this success, I opened STUDIO LEVELS in Byron Bay, a space to offer premium Private Reformer sessions and collaborate with Studio Owners and Pilates Teachers across Australia, both online and in-person. I’ve since shared my approach with hundreds of instructors who want to do more — teach with confidence, program with science, and genuinely support long-term client health (especially for women in their 40s and 50s).

My teaching brings together everything I’ve learned: from physiotherapy and Pilates education to practical, in-studio experience.
