Welcome to
The Common Ground
A place to move, connect and feel at home.
The Common Ground was created with one simple belief:
Wellness should feel supportive, not intimidating.
Our boutique studio in Carlton, Tasmania is designed to be a welcoming space where people of all ages, abilities and stages of life can move with confidence, build strength and reconnect with themselves.
Whether you're stepping onto a reformer for the first time, returning after pregnancy, recovering from injury or simply looking for a movement practice you genuinely enjoy, you'll be supported every step of the way.
Here, you're never just another number.
With intentionally small class sizes, personalised guidance and a genuine sense of community, every class is designed to leave you feeling stronger, calmer and more connected.
Our Philosophy
Movement with purpose.
At The Common Ground, we believe health isn't about perfection.
It's about creating sustainable habits that help you feel strong, capable and confident in your everyday life.
We're here to create a space where movement feels supportive rather than intimidating, where progress is celebrated over perfection, and where every person is welcomed exactly as they are.
Everything we offer is built around six simple values:
• Inclusive
• Strength-focused
• Personalised
• Enjoyable
• Accessible
• Education over restriction
Whether you join us for Reformer Pilates, strength training, yoga or nutrition coaching, our mission remains the same:
Helping you build a healthier relationship with movement—and with yourself.
Meet Elle
Hi, I'm Elle.
I'm the founder of The Common Ground and a qualified Pilates instructor, yoga teacher, fitness professional, nutrition and wellness coach with a passion for helping people feel strong, confident and supported.
After years of teaching in larger studios, I dreamed of creating something different, a space where people could feel seen, where coaching could be personal, and where movement became something to look forward to rather than something to tick off a list.
That dream became The Common Ground.
As both a coach and a mum of two, I understand that life isn't always predictable. That's why this studio has been built around flexibility, compassion and meeting people where they're at.
Whether your goal is building strength, improving mobility, supporting your pregnancy or postpartum journey, returning after injury or simply carving out an hour for yourself, I'm here to help you move in a way that feels good.
I can't wait to welcome you into the studio.
