The KX Pilates Story

KX Pilates, founded in 2010 by Aaron Smith, is a well-known Australian Pilates brand with a strong and growing international presence. Smith was inspired by some of the dynamic Pilates concepts he tried in London, and had a vision of bringing this style back to Australia.

The brand has grown rapidly and now has 100 studios in Australia and the broader Asia Pacific region, including New Zealand, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, and Singapore. KX Pilates started as a single studio in Malvern, Victoria, and later expanded through franchising.

Selina Bridge is the current CEO, and since joining, has helped expand the brand’s footprint and market presence.

The Reception Service

Reception at KX Pilates River Valley felt friendly and organised as soon as we arrived. Although we were not able to reach the studio by phone beforehand, the in-person welcome quickly made up for it. We were greeted with genuine warmth, guided through registration with ease and given a clear, calm orientation that helped us feel prepared and looked after. The check-in felt smooth, confident and surprisingly relaxed for a busy studio.

The farewell was just as considered, with a thoughtful check-in on how the class had gone and a clear run-through of package options. The conversation stayed informative rather than sales-driven, which kept things comfortable, though a little more curiosity about our goals would have strengthened the moment further. Even so, the warmth and attention left a positive impression and set the tone for the rest of the visit.

Overall, the session was delivered with confidence, care and clear technical skill.

The Equipment And Studio

The studio looked polished, modern and very well kept. From the Balanced Body reformers to the overall layout, everything reflected a high level of organisation and care. Clean lines, subtle branding and the wooden architectural wall gave the space a clear identity without feeling overdone.

Lighting and sound supported a calm, focused atmosphere, and the slightly clinical finish added to the premium feel. Moving through the room felt easy and considered, making it simple to train without distraction. Overall, the studio was clearly maintained to a high standard and left a strong impression.

The Facilities And Public Areas

The public areas delivered a premium, boutique feel with strong design choices throughout. The wooden slate divider, sculptural lighting and branded fridge created a polished sense of arrival, and the space felt modern and well considered, with branding integrated in a subtle, stylish way.

The bathrooms stood out, combining stone textures, gold details and a ring-lit mirror that gave the space a refined, hotel-like feel. The grooming area was equally well done, with comfortable seating and thoughtful amenities. While lockers and towels were not provided, the overall environment still felt elevated and welcoming, supported by complimentary water and a small selection of premium beverages.

Digital And Technology

The digital journey balanced style and function well. The website looked clean and on brand, and while some details took a moment to find, booking itself was quick and straightforward. The confirmation email stood out, featuring a clear, engaging video that helped us feel prepared ahead of the visit.

Email and text communications were clear, well branded and genuinely useful, with the added WhatsApp message making arrival feel easy and organised.
