ABOUT I AM PILATES STUDIO
I Am Pilates is a boutique, fully equipped studio located in Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, offering personalised Private and Small Group Pilates sessions in a warm and supportive environment.
Founded by Carolina Longo, the studio is built on over 14 years of experience and a genuine passion for helping people move better, feel stronger and enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.
At I Am Pilates, we believe that no two bodies are the same. Every client is guided through a carefully tailored program designed around their individual needs, goals and physical capabilities — whether that’s building strength, improving mobility, recovering from injury or simply maintaining an active lifestyle.
Our experienced team of instructors share the same approach and commitment to quality movement, strength and long-term wellbeing. Each session is thoughtfully guided to ensure it is purposeful, effective and appropriate for the individual.
The studio offers a calm and personalised space where clients feel supported, gently challenged and confident in their movement. Many of our clients have been with us for years, creating a strong sense of trust, consistency and community.
We welcome clients from Newport, Avalon, Mona Vale and across Sydney’s Northern Beaches who are seeking a more personalised and considered approach to Pilates.
