Pilates and Conditioning for Women in Singapore

Our Pilates and Conditioning sessions are by experienced pilates instructors who are pre/post-natal certified and have an interest in treating women throughout the different challenges that present during womanhood.

What to Know Before Your First Session

  • Is Clinical Pilates the same as regular Pilates?

    Not quite. Both clinical pilates and regular Pilates use similar equipment and exercises, but they are designed for different goals.

    Clinical Pilates is led by a physiotherapist and is tailored to your individual assessment, symptoms and rehabilitation needs. Regular Pilates focuses on improving strength, flexibility, balance and overall fitness in a group or private fitness setting.

  • Who is it for?

    This is for women who want movement that is tailored to their changing bodies. Our instructors have extensive experience working with women through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and beyond, and many have navigated these life stages themselves. Every session considers factors such as hormonal changes, menstrual cycles, bone and muscle health, so you can move with confidence while working towards your goals.

  • Do I need experience with Pilates?

    Not at all. Whether you’re brand new or already active, we meet you where you are. You’ll be supported every step of the way.

  • Will it be personalised?

    Yes. You’ll receive a tailored program based on your goals and we’ll adjust it as you progress.

DR. ESTHER LIM

She works with women preparing for and recovering from birth, and those navigating complex pelvic pain, vaginismus, cancer care, post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Esther believes good care starts with the right questions. She tries to stay curious, listen well, and understand what is really going on before jumping to solutions. In practice, this means hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and Pilates-based rehabilitation, but more than anything, it means making sure each person feels genuinely heard and supported.

CHLOE NG
Co-founder, Senior Physiotherapist

Chloe is a dedicated women’s health physiotherapist whose personal and professional journey has shaped her compassionate approach to care. Early in her career, she noticed that many women’s health concerns, including incontinence, painful intercourse and fertility challenges, were often dismissed or left unspoken. This sparked her commitment to specialise in pelvic health and provide women with the support they deserve.

She pursued training in pelvic health assessment and management, and integrates Polestar Pilates principles into her practice to restore functional movement, postural alignment, and overall wellbeing.

Her personal decision to go through two unmedicated births reinforced her belief in the power of education, preparation, and informed support during pregnancy and beyond.
