Welcome to Empower Reformer Pilates — where movement meets meaning.

We believe in carving out time for your well-being, strengthening your body, and empowering your mind. Whether you're new to Pilates or deepening your practice, you’ll find encouragement, energy, and empowerment here. This is your time. This is your space. Let’s move forward, together.
Our Story
We’re Jane and Vickie – friends for over 27 years, since the days of high school laughter, shared dreams, and big ambitions. What started as a friendship built on connection and trust has grown into something even more meaningful: Empower – a space built from passion, purpose, and the desire to help others feel strong, capable, and confident.
Our shared love for Reformer Pilates and movement comes from a deeper place – not just the physical benefits, but the mental clarity and emotional reset it brings. As busy mums of two and women juggling the highs and lows of modern life, we know how important it is to take time for yourself. To move your body, free your mind, and feel truly supported.
Vickie has long been immersed in the world of self-care, running a successful beauty business in Hazel Grove. She brings a wealth of experience in helping people feel good from the outside in. Jane, after 21 years in the corporate world, made the leap to follow her passion – seeking a career that aligns with her values and supports others in living more empowered, fulfilled lives.
Together, we created Empower – not just a Pilates studio, but a community. A place where you’re encouraged to stretch (literally and mentally), try something new, and discover strength you didn’t know you had. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone – your “stretch zone” – and growing in ways you never thought possible.
Most importantly, Empower is about inclusivity. We’re here to break the stigma that Pilates is only for the ultra-flexible or a certain body type. It’s not. It’s for everyone – every age, every shape, every story.
Whether you’re here to find a moment of calm, build physical strength, or simply reconnect with yourself – we’re here to lift you up.
Let’s move. Let’s grow. Let’s empower each other.
With love,
Jane & Vickie
Founders of Empower
