Booking a Class
The absolute best way to get started is to sign up for our 2 week INTRO OFFER of unlimited classes for only $60! We encourage you to book into as many different classes as you can in those 2 weeks, so you get a good feel for what we offer and also for what you love! Why not try something new in this period? We offer Reformer Pilates, Yoga and Strength classes for all ages and stages of life – so try them all! We can help guide you from there.
Alternatively, if you are in need of some extra care, we also have a Beginners Intro Offer which provides extra 1-1 support as you start or return to your wellness journey. We want to make sure everyone who comes through our doors is given options to suit their individual needs.
*If you are looking for Clinical Pilates sessions please contact us for a private appointment to get you started.

Most of them! We pride ourselves on having experienced instructors with pre/postnatal training, so they know exactly how to make adjustments to exercises for your safety. It’s what we specialise in!
The reason we keep our class sizes so small is so you can attend almost any class in the schedule, and we can still give you personalised care. We understand that every woman is different and every pregnancy is different, so we teach the individual. You are NOT restricted to the ‘pregnancy’ classes only, but please make sure to notify your instructor that you are pregnant prior to class if they don’t already know.
In saying that, we do also have renowned specialty classes for pregnancy, postpartum and mums & bubs. The perinatal branch of our studio is called Village Birth Surfcoast, and you can see everything on offer on our website here. Use the class filtering system on our Group Fitness page to find exactly what you’re looking for (filter by “Village Birth”).
Lastly, tell all your mumma friends! Motivation is higher when we have a workout buddy. We also offer mothers group specials, so if you can get a group of at least 5 together – talk to us about private sessions!
If your baby is not mobile, they are welcome to attend our Reformer and Strength classes. We just don’t allow babies to join in our yoga classes, as often people are practising mindfulness during this time and we know babies can be unpredictable. The exception to this of course is our dedicated Mums, Bubs & Tots Yoga class and Sacred Start offering, which is a beautiful opportunity to slow down and be present in mindful movement with your baby.
As mentioned above, babies are also welcome in our Reformer & Strength classes, as long as they are not yet mobile. These classes involve a lot of moving parts/weights and we’re mindful of the risk to our tiny friends. We want the Village to be a safe, inclusive space for everyone, which sometimes means adjusting based on your child’s stage of development.
If your baby becomes more mobile, we know that getting to the Village can be difficult. Only you will know what is right for you and your little one but we want to remind you that filling up your cup will always flow on to them. If you find that coming with your mobile toddler is too hard, we do offer evening classes when you may have more support at home. Please do speak with a team member at anytime, we are always here to support where we can.

Coming to Class
We are on Cylinders Drive in Torquay, just down from the medical center and next door to the car wash. Our studio is on the ground floor.
There is street front parking on both sides of Cylinders Drive. We also have 12 designated car parks behind the studio within the hub carpark, a short walk away.
Wear something comfortable you can move in freely. Most people prefer fitted leggings or trackpants, but you are free to dress however you feel comfortable.
No! We provide everything so all you have to do is turn up! If you do have a favourite mat, you are also very welcome to bring it along.
We usually say to keep it simple. Most mums bring along newer bubs in their capsule, along with a blanket and a favourite toy. If your baby is a bit older (and not likely to nap), some mums prefer to bring a play mat and just carry their little ones into the studio in their arms or carrier, then pop them on the floor next to them while they work out!
We also have a box of toys the room, a couple of Bumbos, a bouncer and some playmats. I’ve got one genius mum who uses a laundry basket with a pillow and some toys inside and just carries her baby in and out of classes inside this. He loves it! Another mum brings a cool baby camp chair that folds up. It has a tray table so her little one can sit up and eat snacks while mum works out! For safety reasons, once your child is highly mobile and not likely to remain still, they need to be in a secure area, like the playpen or strapped into a chair/pram etc.
ABSOLUTELY! Babies are our special VIPs and we love having them in the studio.
We make it work for you, however that looks on the day. If you need to stop and feed, change a nappy or cuddle your baby during class, you are completely free to do so. Our team members also love baby cuddles and are there to offer a helping hand. Don’t let fear stop you from coming. Most mums are surprised at how easy it works out! Our space is a safe, judgement-free zone and we are here for you. You are not alone!
Our Village has 3 separate studio rooms. Our Reformer Studio and Retreat Rooms (for mat and yoga classes) are located on the first floor up a flight of stairs. Our Strength & Fitness Studio is located downstairs through the reception area. We also have a Clinic Room upstairs where our practitioners provide therapeutic treatments. All our studio rooms are fully furnished with quality exercise equipment so all you have to do is show up!
We have 2 bathrooms – one on each floor, 2 baby change tables in the bathrooms, 1 shower if needed (upstairs). We encourage you to really enjoy the space as much as we do.
Both floors of the building have a kitchen and seating area for you to relax before or after class. There is a kettle and oodles of different teabags to choose from! Make a cuppa, help yourself to the snacks provided, catch up with your workout buddies, and enjoy the community vibes. Soak up the Village goodness!
Pricing & Policies
We know everyone has different needs so we offer several package options depending on your preferences.
All classes can be purchased casually as a one-off. We also offer x5, x10 and x20 class passes and great-value memberships that are direct debited weekly.
Yes! You can pause your weekly membership for a minimum of 7 days at a time and a maximum of up to 6 weeks total each year. Just email our studio manager with your dates a week prior!
We understand that life sometimes throws curveballs our way, which is why we have a very reasonable cancellation policy of only 4 hours notice for any group class and 9 hours for private appointments. A late cancellation or no show means you forfeit the booking in full, which is also not refundable or transferrable.
***Please note that all LATE CANCELLATIONS or NO SHOWS from bookings made with a weekly membership (including the unlimited INTRO OFFER) will incur a $10 fee that will automatically be deducted from your account 1 day after the booking.
We intentionally offer small class sizes as we believe in quality over quantity. In saying this, every spot in class matters so we need to adhere to our cancellation policies to keep it fair for everyone, as often we have waitlists and people miss out. We thank you for your understanding.
Membership/Class Pass Cancellation
When signing up to a weekly membership, you are signing up for a 6 month commitment. After the initial 6 months, you are welcome to continue on, which we hope you will, as we are sure you will be feeling the benefits of weekly workouts. Alternatively you can cancel your membership. All cancellation requests must be sent via email to admin@villagewellnesstorquay.com.au with a two week notice period.
We do not refund our 5, 10 or 20 class passes. Once you purchase, you agree to use these at your own leisure and within the timeframe of each specific pass. Extension are only given for extenuating circumstances. The Village also reserves the right to make changes to the space or classes as needed.
Yes! As some of our amazing instructors have to travel to the studio to teach, we have implemented a 45 minute cut off period prior to the start of that class.
Bookings will not be possible less than 45 minutes from the class start time. We know this doesn’t suit everyone, however, we need standardise some policies to be applied across the board. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to commit to yourself and be accountable to show up!
