I had a great experience learning Pilates with Mr. Paul Cini in this studio, the studio is always welcoming & people are also willing to share. Thank you & hope to see you all soon. ❤️ #pilates #lifestyle #livingwell #melbourne #rehab #malverneast

I was able to get a lot of relief for sore wrists after my appointment with Charissa at Grounded Movement. She worked on the area with massage to relieve pain, taped the area, and sent me home with easy to manage exercises to strengthen my wrists plus some adaptions to the movements I was making that had caused pain in the past. I left feeling really confident that my mobility and pain would be improved after my appointment, and so far my pain as been greatly reduced. Thank you for fixing me Charissa! 🙏

Charissa and the team at Grounded Movement are incredible health professionals. I have been taking the corporate Pilates sessions through lockdown and they have significantly assisted my work from home aches and pains. I have attended one of the Pilates retreats as well and it was HEAVEN. I have never felt better or more rested after a holiday. I highly recommend Grounded Movement's highly professional and effective programs!

Can’t speak highly enough of Charissa and the team at Grounded Movement. Charissa is an excellent physio and clinical Pilates instructor - the kind of professional who can quickly assess what you need on any given day. I have a back injury which has improved enormously since coming here. It’s given me a lot of confidence. Most recently Charissa has helped me with tailored exercises during and after pregnancy. Gorgeous studio too. The kind of place you leave feeling 100% better than when you walked in.

As in all the teachers of Pilates at this studio, Liz is excellent.

Top-notch staff and an exceptionally roomy and restful environment. This is an outstanding Pilates studio.

I have been seeing Charissa as a Pilates practitioner and physio for over 10 years. She is an expert in her field and has guided my body though various stage of life, from Fun Runs to kids and beyond. Her support through my second pregnancy was immeasurable as I has severe pelvic pain. Through her in-depth knowledge, I was able to continue to move my body safely and get relief from the pain. Grounded Movement is lucky to have Charissa at the helm and her staff and clients will only benefit from the calm surrounds of the studio. Thank you Charissa and Grounded Movement!

Charissa and her team are excellent and highly professional. I love that this studio really ascertain your needs and tailor your program and goals to meet them. The studio is lovely, bright and airy with a lovely sense of space rather than cramming the classes into small space.

The Pilates practitioners at Grounded Movement are just phenomenal - all the teachers are super professional and expertly trained. The small classes sizes are ideal for high supervision - even with a few other people in the group I always feel like the workouts are tailored to what my body needs. I leave feeling so much better than when I walked in...always. If you're after proper Pilates, close supervision, totally individualised Pilates programs in a truly unique space, this place is for you. Highly recommended.

I have been attending the Grounded Movement studio for many years now and can't speak highly enough for the professionalism and attention to detail I have always received. I am very grateful to Charissa and her team for providing online Pilates classes during lockdown. It has been so wonderful to be able to keep my body moving and strong. I really love that the classes are tailored to your individual needs and Annabel has been amazing at accommodating my broken ankle & moon boot and now my rehab work. My weekly classes have seriously been a life saver for me in 2020 and 2021. I can't wait to get back into the fantastic Grounded Movement studio though!

Highly recommend Grounded Movement and Charissa’s amazing Pilates classes. This is my third round attending the zoom classes and I can’t speak highly enough of them. Charissa is very warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and caters for clients with all different fitness levels. I’ve attended every week and feel amazing afterwards. I have also noticed a massive difference in my fitness levels, and mental health, and am also noticing a lot of changes in my body, including having more strength overall. As I have a dancing background and a medical condition I’m very picky with who train with, however I found this business caters extremely well to my own personal needs, the classes are of a very high standard, and customer service is excellent. If you’ve been wanting to try Pilates or are interested in their other services then I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Charissa.

My original 5 star review was for a different pilates business. When Grounded Movement bought the business I left after 4 sessions as I thought the new management poor and the teaching below standard. I do not recommend Grounded Movement.

Grounded Movement provides excellent physiotherapy services to young dancers. Charissa has always been able to assist my daughter in her dance journey. We appreciate her positive empathetic approach. We also appreciate her ability to provide tailored exercises to prevent injury recurrence, as well as exercises to strengthen areas of weakness.

Grounded Movement has done a great job during lockdown.The communication has been great. Charissa has kept everyone up to date with what is happening with the changing restrictions..The website that has been established has been easy to navigate even for someone like me who is not very computer literate. What can I say about Liz only that her classes in the gym and on line have been wonderful for me. She has great communication skills and knowledge of body mechanics. My mobility and strength has improved remarkably under her guidance. Thank you Grounded Movement keep up the good work.

Grounded movement is an exceptional business, led by a very impressive director in Charissa Fermelis. I have been privileged to participate in their physio led Pilates classes both personally and in conjunction with a corporate offering through my business Svenson Barristers. Myself and our wider team and community love these sessions. If you are looking for outcome driven, caring and professional service this is a great place to land. They even have a studio dog ready to greet you - the best!

Grounded Movement is an extremely well organised and dedicated business. Charissa has shown my daughter exceptional care and has gone above and beyond to support her needs over the years. I highly recommend Grounded Movement.

As a previous ballet dancer turned professional student, I was recommended Charissa and the team at Grounded Movement as the ideal place to get back into physical activity after a long hiatus. The team have been incredibly supportive and ensured that I get a great deal of input from those running the session. The group classes are small and allow for a lot of individual support throughout to ensure everyone is using the correct techniques and doing exercises that are right for them. Can’t wait to join everyone back in the classroom and off zoom soon.

Thanks Liz and the team at Grounded Movement for continuing to run the Pilates Classes via Zoom - it has been great and so rewarding both physically and mentally to be able to keep going while we've been locked down. A highlight of the week and I always feel so much better afterwards,
