I have been working as a personal trainer for nearly 15 years and only recently started one on one reformer pilates with Trina. Over the last two months I have noticably improved my balance and stability, my back mobility and articulation and overall posture. I thoroughly look forward to my hour in her studio every week and find the time flies! The studio is light and calm and the outlook is very peaceful.
The sessions have been customised and adjusted to my strengths and weaknesses and I feel like I am progressing at my own rate rather than the level of a group or a the desires of the instructor. The level of difficulty is set based on how I am on any particular day so no matter how I am tracking I feel nicely challenged.
I feel very lucky to have found my way into Trina's studio and wouldn't give it up for anything!

I highly recommend Legato Pilates to anyone seeking a positive exercise experience. The Legato studio is an airy light room in a separate section at the front of Katrina’s house, with restorative views to garden and trees – a welcoming environment.
Katrina’s approach is caring and friendly. She has a deep understanding of how our body works, gained from her physiotherapy and Pilates experience. Her expertise for dealing with my mobility and balance issues feels targeted to what I really need. She can explain clearly how each exercise relates to a particular issue. I have been positively surprised by seeing improvements in my physical movements, and pleased to feel an increase in my well-being as a result. It’s a pleasure to be able to recommend such an effective expert in the local area.

After too many years working behind a desk with only occasional bursts of cardio exercise, I felt the need to deal with a range of muscular aches and pains. A friend recommended trying Pilates, but that conjured up images of a room full of young lycra-clad enthusiasts. I wasn’t keen. Then, I discovered “Legato,” where Katrina Merten, with her extensive experience as a physiotherapist, provides professional one-on-one Pilates instruction in her modern, well-equipped studio. Each session is planned to meet my needs, and I am a total convert to the benefits of a weekly session at Legato.

Katrina is an extremely knowledgeable, kind and gentle Pilates coach. I feel much stronger and confident since starting Pilates sessions with Katrina. I highly recommend anyone wanting to try Pilates to practice with Legato Pilates.

I've been struggling with chronic pain for many years due to my fibromyalgia. My Osteopath suggested I look into Pilates as part of my physical therapy, and was lucky to find Katrina through Pilates Association Australia. Since starting at Legato Pilates, I've felt truly supported. Katrina is knowledgable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to understand my body and is always looking for ways to work with me through the pain and ongoing challenges. I feel safe with her and deeply appreciate the care she brings to each session.
