Madeleine is the co-owner of Mint Studios and a dedicated reformer pilates instructor. After falling in love with pilates six years ago, she turned her passion into a lifestyle and has been teaching for two years. Known for her warmth and friendliness, Mads goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome in her classes. She’s committed to creating a safe space for people to move, offering strong, simple, and effective class plans. Outside of pilates, she has a love for spicy food and her Groodle girl, Poppy. 

Mia is the co-owner of Mint Studios and is a full time Pilates lover. She found her passion after her first class eight years ago and has never looked back. After managing multiple studios, she has jumped to the next big challenge, opening her own studio. She's a family girl and loves Warragul, her fur baby Zimi (sister of Poppy) and a 6am Reformer class. Always there providing a spicy class, as well as being up for a giggle or chat about anything. You can catch her answering any of your Q's about Mint Studios.

Ella is a Warragul girly studying to be a teacher with a passion for the beach, her two pugs and of course Pilates. Her passion for Pilates was ignited through a background in dance. Ella loved how it taught her to connect her mind and body, as well as strengthening muscles. She loves ending with a slow cool down, including gentle stretches and deep breaths to allow people to calm down and reset before or after their busy days. Expect Ella's classes to be motivating, seamless and with lots of progressions! She promises you’ll love it.

Mel was a paramedic in Warragul for nearly 12 years before making a career switch. She fell in love with pilates 9 years ago after experiencing a back injury, and fell in love with how it helped both her body and her (very busy!) mind. She's a big fan of a plank-pike combo and any spinal rotation, so expect plenty of these! Mel is a busy mum of 2 young daughters and when she isn't busy running them around, you'll find her reading or enjoying a good coffee. She's also never met a spicy margarita she didn't like!

With a background in dance, yoga, and a love for dance floors, Meg was instantly inspired by her first Pilates class four years ago. She blends strength and softness in every session—moving seamlessly from deep burns to gentle, restorative flows. With a strong focus on breath-work and fluid movement, Meg aims to leave clients feeling revitalised in both body and mind. She’s passionate about crafting immersive experiences that fuse movement, music, and social connection—guiding you to tune into all your senses.

Mum of ten & Glam-ma, now calling Traralgon home after moving from Sydney.  She loves a great Classic Margarita, holding the spice unless we’re in the studio. Her love of mindful movement began with Yoga over 20 years ago, but after a back injury during pregnancy, Pilates became a powerful part of her healing and she's never looked back. As a mum who's been through multiple pregnancies, Larissa deeply connects with women at all stages of motherhood and believes movement should support you through every chapter of life.

Keelan has been doing Pilates for 4 years now and absolutely loves it. For her, it’s more than just exercise, it’s time to switch off, listen to music and focus on movement. She loves being able to give clients that same space to move, reset and feel stronger in both bodies and minds. When Keelan isn't working, she's usually out and about with family and loves music so there’s always a good playlist on to match her mood. 

Tippy Bird Tessa joins us with years of experience in the industry. She takes so much pride in putting together a super creative class plan that'll have you on the edge of your seat/ short box. Outside the studio, Tessa loves walking her dog, enjoying family dinners and catching up with friends on the weekend for a cheeky bevy. She’s not a coffee drinker, but you’ll often find her with a spiced chai in hand.

For Morgan, pilates quickly became her outlet. 45 minutes where the body can move while the mind gets to slow. Her classes are centred on creating a space thats warm and safe with an invitation to leave the business of life at the door. Morgan strives to achieve that deep breath ‘I did that’ moment at the end of each class, so you can expect plenty of challenging the body while achieving a sense of gratitude and stillness at the beginning and end of each class.

We are so pleased to have been a part of Kara's amazing journey from client to instructor. With a serious love for getting active, she doubles as a Sports teacher and now Pilates instructor. She's a passionate mum who always finds time for herself to get her own movement in and continually looks on new ways to grow.

Paris is a high school teacher by day, Pilates instructor by night. She loves vizslas, iced lattes, a sweet treat, a good TV show and a little bit of retail therapy. Paris also loves to travel and was lucky enough to spend time living in London with her partner. She's taken a few classes on the schedule before and is now a new mum keen to sink her teeth into teaching. Favourite Pilates move (and what you can always expect) = any sort of squat!

The third Palmer in the mix, Tyler is our go-to behind the scenes marketing guru. After years of working in family businesses and being Mads' #1 class attendee, it's about time he was part of a family business of his own. You'll find him breathing a sigh of relief when class is over, leaving coffee cups in random places in the studio and sending annoying irrelevant spreadsheets to the team.
