OVERLOOKING Lake Wendouree there\u2019s a new exercise studio helping residents of all ages reach their physical potentials.<\/p>\n

Founded by Lisa Dumayne, Upmotion Pilates has a strong focus on ensuring exercise is inclusive and accessible for all, which is something she said should be a given.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the benefits I\u2019ve received because of it, I\u2019m just so passionate about Pilates and how good it makes me feel that I want to share it with as many people as I can,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that people walk out of the classes feeling like they\u2019ve achieved something.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also studying exercise science and planning to pursue a career in exercise physiology and eventually use Pilates to allow people to become the fittest, strongest and healthiest person they can regardless of injuries, chronic conditions or health problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

After previously working in the space, located in the top story of the historic Ballarat City Boat Shed, as part of a physio clinic, she fell in love with the location.<\/p>\n

When the spot became available, Ms Dumayne said she jumped at the chance to open her own business and in such a special place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got so much spirit and soul, partly because of the fact that it\u2019s 150 years old and been through two world wars, so it has a lot of connection to community and to leave it not in use would be a shame,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have a really strong connection to this space and it\u2019s wonderful to keep that connection going and offer something positive for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m passionate about preserving the history of a place and encouraging people to appreciate it while doing something for their own health and wellbeing such as Pilates, it\u2019s a win, win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having opened just as the pandemic hit earlier this year, Upmotion initially moved its classes and offerings online until it was safe to resume in person.<\/p>\n

Although she faced many challenges when first starting out, Ms Dumayne said it was great to finally welcome people back into the studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to have a full class and as we ease towards life going back to normal, we\u2019ll start to offer some more classes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, with the plethora of offerings at Upmotion already extensive, Ms Dumayne aims to be as inclusive to all skill levels as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer anything from beginner level and the classes are just focused on understanding the principles of Pilates, how to breathe through exercise and movement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have a foundations classes, outdoor Pilates by the lake and flow and athletic classes which are both a bit more intermediate and dynamic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoga is starting soon as well so that will be wonderful and, moving forward, I want to offer men\u2019s classes and classes to really young kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Promoting a positive and uplifting atmosphere, Ms Dumayne said her studio is a place for people to feel their best both mentally and physically.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to stop and reconnect with your own body and mind so we feel the best we can possibly feel so we can have a more positive impact in our communities and our lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sometimes neglect our own health and put it on last on or list of priorities, but I think it should be first because then it makes all those other things on the list far easier to tackle.\u201d<\/p>\n
