Our Story
A Journey of Movement, Strength & Healing
Living Energy Pilates and Rehabilitation has been a cornerstone of the community for 20 years. What started as a passion for helping others move better has grown into a comprehensive rehabilitation and fitness studio.
In late February 2021, we embarked on a new chapter, moving from our beloved Greensborough location to our beautiful new home in Macleod. This move allowed us to create an even more welcoming and well-equipped space for our community.
Today, our team of dedicated professionals continues to provide personalised, evidence-based exercise programs that help people of all ages and abilities achieve their health and fitness goals.
