✨ Hello to all my new followers! ✨
I’m Angelique - a 40 year old proud mum of 3 diva daughters, corporate manager boss lady and currently in the best shape of my life thanks to the incredible pilates community that has supported and motivated me every step of the way 💕 sprinkle in some self discipline, healthy eating and an occasional cocktail 🍸

When my girls were little (yes, I had 3 under 4 at one point!), I often felt tired, sluggish, and struggled just to get through the day. Pilates completely transformed not only my body but also my energy and confidence. It helped me heal postpartum issues like muscle separation, a slight prolapse after my third, bulging lower discs, and even managing life without an ACL in my left knee 😯.

I became hooked once I saw the difference it made to my body. I'm stronger, leaner, healthier, and more present for my family. Pilates really can change your life when practised correctly with the right guidance and consistency.

From pilates to protein and everything in between, I’m excited to build this community with you. 💕

Hi! I’m Angelique 🤗 — Pilates lover, studio hopper, Unite Health-trained and qualified. I'm on a mission to flex, flow, and spill the tea on Pilates studios near and far. Let’s try out all the fantastic studios our amazing pilates community has to offer 😀

My Pilates story:

I fell in love with Pilates 9 years ago, after having my second baby. At just 6 weeks postpartum, carrying 30kg of baby weight and absolutely no confidence, I walked into my very first Pilates (mums & bubs) class at @kxpilatesknox —and honestly, I was terrified. But the trainers were so supportive, encouraging, and kind. That class changed everything. I kept showing up, and over time, not only did the 30kg drop away, but I became stronger, healthier, and more empowered than I’ve ever been.

Back then, I was dealing with all the things—postpartum pelvic floor issues, abdominal separation, multiple injuries (yep, no ACL in my left knee!), and a painful lower back from years of corporate desk life that had left me with degenerative discs. I felt broken… until Pilates came into my life.

Pilates truly saved me—body, mind, and soul. I became totally obsessed (in the best way!), and now I can’t imagine life without it. I’m here to share my journey, my love for movement, and the amazing, supportive Pilates community that lifted me up when I needed it most. Let’s move, breathe, and grow together!

Rise and shine, Eastern Suburban Babes from MPHQ!
Why slog it out in the 9–5 grind when you could sashay your way into an energising Pilates class at @mphq.club, then refuel like a queen with a high-protein brekkie at the convenient next-door @montania.cafebar?

From my dreamy POV: A morning of zen stretches and frothy cappuccinos.
Vs my reality: Wrangling three small humans to put uniforms on, hustling through school drop-off, and diving headfirst into a high paced corporate manager role for my daily meeting marathon.

Thank heavens for local studios that give us mums 50 glorious minutes of “me time” — no nagging, no full inbox, just endorphins. And yes, I’m that mum who takes her time and sneaks to a café afterwards… zero regrets 😋.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women around the world. 🌸✨
You have fire inside of you. You are capable of more than you know, your strength, resilience, and voice matter. Never let anyone convince you otherwise.
Be fierce. Be true to yourself. Hold your boundaries with confidence and courage. And most importantly, live your life to the fullest — because it’s your life to live, not anyone else’s.
Today we celebrate women everywhere: your power, your dreams, and the impact you make every single day.
💜 Love from @flexandtell xx

Movement on the Turf 🌱

A morning Pilates session hosted by @upstate_studios ☀️ On stage to guide us through the glute burning excersises was Upstates poster girl @sashacelestee 🧘‍♀️ I was literally sweating on the green at Melbourne's @marvelstadium.au 🏟

Not your average Saturday morning mat class, rather a once in a lifetime experience laying on the grass watching the bright blue sky as you move your body with hundreds of other pilates enthusiasts at the same time! And if thats not exhelerating enough for you, there was a coffee and breakfast snack bar ready to serve you straight on the grassy sideline ☕️ 🤗
Well done - Awesome event 👏 taken in Marvel Stadium, Melbourne by @flexandtell

Easter check in - 5kg to goal weight but im not rushing. In the past i'd drop water weight in a week just to get the number down on the scales. A short term dopamine fix followed by a night out filled with carbs and cocktails. I would wake up the following morning feeling crap and depressed as the kilos on the scales would be back to where i started 😔 This time i'm being patient with my body and allowing the time needed to drop fat whilst focusing on maintaining strength through constancy in the gym and repetition on my plate. My body needs high volume, nutrient dense foods. I physically and mentally can't go back to how I was, even if I tried. I'm far wiser and stronger for that shit now ✌️ 🩷

Happy Sunday 💛 What a beautiful day. Remember this: not everyone is going to like you, and that’s perfectly okay. You weren’t made to please everyone. You were made to be YOU 😇

Your uniqueness is your beauty 🌹 The quirks, the strengths, the flaws, they all make you who you are. Love yourself in every situation, even when others don’t understand you, even if they don't like your personality or even your hair.

Stand tall, stay true, and never dim your light to fit into someone else’s shadow 🌟

You are worthy. You are enough. You are beautifully, unapologetically YOU ❤️ by @flexandtell
