About - Bondi Rise

The Birth Of Bondi Rise

Welcome to Bondi Rise – where movement meets mindfulness, wherever you are.

Inspired by the serene sunrises and vibrant energy of Bondi Beach, our studio was born with a single purpose: to bring the magic of mindful movement to people everywhere.

Our founder, Lottie, wanted to bottle the sense of calm, clarity, and endless possibility she felt watching the sea at sunrise when she lived in Australia. She built Bondi Rise to share that feeling – a place where movement and mindfulness meet, so you can feel that power whether you’re with us in person or carrying us in your pocket.

Today, Bondi Rise now offers in-studio classes at two locations, East Molesey and Wimbledon alongside a powerful online platform and app featuring hundreds of guided workouts and specialist programs. By welcoming all levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners, we create a space where every body can find their flow.

This is more than a workout; it’s a movement. Join us and rise.

Meet Lottie

Lottie founded Bondi Rise with a single, powerful vision: to share the transformative power of mindful movement with people across the globe.

From the moment she was introduced to Pilates, Lottie realized its potential went far beyond physical exercise; it was a way to create a profound connection between body and mind. This insight inspired her to complete her training and develop her own signature approach – the “Bondi Rise Method.” This method is the heart of everything we do, focusing on moving with intention, purpose, and control.

Driven by this passion, she first launched the Bondi Rise online platform to make her unique style of teaching accessible anywhere, anytime. In 2023, she brought that vision to life with the first Bondi Rise studio in East Molesey.

Today, Lottie leads a vibrant community, guiding every member to experience the unique energy and empowerment that Pilates offers. Join her and the Bondi Rise community and discover the difference for yourself.

If you're going to rise, you might as well shine.

A LITTLE LOVE NOTE FROM LOTTIE:

“I can’t wait to share a slice of Bondi with you. My ultimate goal is for Bondi Rise to become your own little sanctuary – a space where movement meets mindfulness, both online and in our studios.

I’ve always believed in building a community that starts with a love of Pilates but grows into something so much more.”

Testimonials

"Lottie changed my life. In 6 weeks of private lessons with Lottie I know longer felt any pain in my lower back, which I have been struggling with for many years. She created personalised sessions to best suit my goals and conditions. Every lesson I was genuinely excited to do Pilates, to feel good about myself and to have a laugh with Lottie. I am so grateful for you Lottie."

"I have been using Lottie's online platform for nearly a year now and I recommend it to anyone looking to add more pilates into their life. Lottie is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructor, and the live stream classes are a highlight of my week. The subscription is great value for money with on demand access to videos of various lengths. The platform makes it easy to fit a Pilates workout into my schedule."

"Lottie is the most thoughtful and encouraging teacher! She caters to all availabilities and always offers options to make the move harder. 100% recommend Lottie's classes."

"Lottie is an amazing Pilates instructor. Her knowledge and passion for Pilates makes these classes addictive! You can guarantee you will always be doing the move correctly and guaranteed to get that pilates burn! The clam!! Thanks Lottie."

"I joined Lottie's online studio last year and my only regret is that I didn’t join sooner! What I love about the online platform is that Lottie has uploaded loads of 15 and 20 minutes Pilates workouts so when my motivation wavers, I still keep doing it regularly because I don’t have to commit to a 60 minute class. Now gyms are open, I’ve cancelled my gym membership because the platform fills my Pilates needs with a mixture of live and recorded classes. Thanks Lottie for keeping me exercising every day during lockdown and brightening my days with your cheery manner and your unbelievably cute dog!"
