Ashleigh Gurnett is an experienced Pilates instructor.
A former professional dancer, Ash spent a decade travelling the globe working in dance and musical theatre. Ash discovered Pilates as a form of rehabilitation after recovering from surgical treatment for her endometriosis. She loved the way it connected her mind to her body and made her feel stronger than ever.
She decided to take her love of Pilates full-time and opened her bespoke Brisbane studio 'Boutique Pilates Method' (BPM) in 2020. Her love of music and dance led to the creation of her very own Pilates method "BPM" which sees Ash and her team teaching creative Pilates flows to a specific 'beat per minute' keeping BPM's classes fun and fresh.
Ash went on to complete her Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction with National Pilates training in 2023 and is a Faculty Educator for the government-accredited training provider. Her passion lies within all forms of teaching and she is deeply committed to supporting new instructors entering the industry.
She draws on her dance background to align your body whilst applying the fundamental principles of Joseph Pilates.
Ash has taught pilates in Sydney and Melbourne and is excited to be back home offering classes to her Brisbane community.

“
Ash is not only an amazing instructor, she makes you feel safe and totally connected with your own body - which can be difficult in such vulnerable positions ( not only physically with pilates, but emotionally). I leave every session excited and looking forward to the next, and that is thanks to Ashleigh

Ash is by far the best in the business. She talks through exercises in an easy to follow way, you feel seen as Ash gives personal notes and feedback throughout class and an added bonus, Ash is absolutely hilarious showcasing her authentic, infectious, positivity. I always leave sweaty, smiling and already looking forward to the next session!

Ash made Pilates accessible for me. As a guy it can be intimidating coming into a studio, so doing sessions by zoom was perfect. As someone who works in a very physical role, my body is tight and after Ash’s classes I have no pain and feel great! She has a way to give the exact movements you need!
