Reformer pilates now at the gym

Reformer pilates classes are now officially being offered at Flinders University Sport & Fitness (FUSF). It’s one of several new additions to FUSF offerings – which also includes the introduction of the Rejuvenate Lounge, with an infrared sauna, meditation chair, massage chair and NormaTec compression boots.

After a couple of sneaky trial sessions of reformer pilates, classes were officially launched on Monday 8 August, and the gym is offering a special launch price for a limited period. Until Friday 16 September, the weekly cost of FUSF membership for all services, including regular classes and equipment, reformer classes and the Rejuvenate Lounge, are $24.99 for staff, $19.99 for students and $25.99 for other guests.

The special rate offers full access to everything at FUSF, which includes:

  • Reformer Pilates
  • Rejuvenate Lounge, including infrared sauna, massage chair, O2 meditation chair and NormaTec boots
  • Group fitness classes
  • Ladies-only gym
  • Weights
  • Cardio
  • HIIT
  • Squash

In June, the board enthusiastically approved investing in FUSF upgrades, which included the Rejuvenate wellness lounge and the introduction of Pilates reformer classes.

Their enthusiasm has ensured that the Flinders community has access to services on campus that can contribute to the wellness of staff and students.
Gym staff look forward to welcoming members to use these new services, and are also keen to try out some of the new facilities. “I’ve heard great things about the infrared sauna, and I really look forward to using it to enhance my cardio workout and its detoxification benefits,” says staff member Wendy. “I also like that it’s warm – and offers some anti-aging benefits. I’m hoping for some Benjamin Button-type effect.”

Please note that you can still purchase a FUSF gym membership without the new additional options at the original pricing. Both FUSF membership options are available through salary sacrifice.
