Our Philosophy
Learn the method. Understand your body. Evolve your practice.
At Evolution Pilates Studio, we believe movement has the power to transform how you feel, move and live.
Pilates is more than exercise. It’s a practice that builds strength, confidence, resilience and a deeper understanding of your body.
We believe every person is unique. Your movement history, lifestyle and experiences all influence how you move, which is why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We meet you where you are and support you as your movement and confidence evolve.
Our focus is on quality movement, not simply completing exercises. By understanding how your body moves and why, you can develop lasting strength, improve mobility and build movement skills that support everyday life.
Progress comes through consistency, thoughtful progression and individual guidance. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have years of experience, we’re here to help you move well, feel strong and evolve your practice.
"Change happens through movement, and movement heals"

Our Approach
It starts with understanding you.
Every Pilates journey at Evolution Pilates Studio begins with understanding your body, your movement and what you need from your practice.
Your initial private session gives us the opportunity to explore your movement, discuss what you’d like to achieve and create a program suited to your individual needs and abilities.
Our teaching is grounded in the traditional Pilates Method and informed by my training as a fourth-generation Pilates teacher within the Jay Grimes lineage. We respect the principles of the original method while recognising that Pilates should be adapted to the individual—not the individual to the method.
As your strength, mobility and confidence develop, your program evolves with you. Whether you continue through private sessions, Open Studio 1:4 or small-group classes, you’ll receive guidance and feedback to support your progress.
Our role is more than teaching exercises. We want to help you understand your body, move with purpose and build confidence in your movement, both inside and outside the studio.

The apparatuses help you explore the terrain.
The real work happens when the system meets curiousity.
Founder Lauren Hulbert
Meet Lauren
Movement has always been a part of my life.
Growing up on a farm in the Snowy Mountains as part of a large family taught me the value of hard work, resilience and caring for both body and mind. Those early experiences shaped my approach to life and continue to influence the way I teach Pilates today.
My journey began with dance. After completing my Diploma in Dance through the British Ballet Organisation, I spent 16 years teaching and exploring how the body moves. Dance taught me discipline, creativity and a deep appreciation for the strength and capability of the human body.
Through dance, I discovered Pilates and was drawn to its connection between movement, awareness and control. I loved how Pilates could help people build strength while developing greater confidence and understanding in their movement.
In 2019, I completed my Diploma in Pilates Instruction with Polestar Pilates Australia, allowing me to combine my passion for movement with my desire to help others develop strength, mobility and confidence.
My continued studies within the Jay Grimes lineage have deepened my understanding of the traditional Pilates Method and the importance of teaching with intention and purpose. This has reinforced my belief that Pilates is more than simply performing exercises—it’s about developing awareness, understanding your body and creating meaningful change through movement.
This philosophy is at the heart of Evolution Pilates Studio.
My approach is centred around personalised instruction, thoughtful progression and helping each person develop confidence and independence in their movement. Every body and movement history is different, and my role is to meet you where you are and guide you forward.
Whether you are new to Pilates, returning to movement, looking to build strength and mobility, or wanting to deepen your existing practice, I want you to feel welcomed, supported and encouraged.
I believe Pilates is a lifelong practice, and I’m always learning alongside my clients.
One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing people become stronger, move with greater freedom and leave each session feeling better than when they arrived.
Welcome to Evolution Pilates Studio.
I look forward to being part of your movement journey.

Open Studio
Duration: 60 minutes
Maximum Participants: 4 clients
Prerequisite: An Initial Private Session is required before joining Open Studio to develop your personalised Pilates program.
Open Studio is inspired by the traditional Open Gym model of the Pilates Method, allowing you to work independently through your own personalised program while continuing to receive expert guidance.
Following your Initial Private Session, you'll receive an individualised program designed specifically for your body, goals, and movement patterns. During each session, you'll move through your program at your own pace while your instructor provides feedback, refines your technique, answers questions, and progresses your exercises as you develop.
Limited to four clients per session, Open Studio offers the perfect balance between independence and individual instruction.
Rather than simply following a class, you'll learn to understand your body, refine your movement, and develop a lifelong Pilates practice.
