More about Renae:
Renae Blackmore owns and runs her studio, Renae Blackmore Pilates Studio,
from home on the beautiful Central Coast NSW and has been teaching the Pilates
Method since 1996. Renae was a professional dancer and was drawn into the
Pilates world as an injury prevention and strengthening tool. Her love of Pilates
inspired her to study the Method with Vass and Shaw Physiotherapy and Pilates,
then furthering her knowledge with Rael Isacowitz at BASI. She then went onto
studying with PITC achieving an Advance Diploma. Along the way she gained a
certification in Pre and Post Natal Pilates with The Centre for Women's Fitness
and a certification in Foot Fitness with Yamuna. With a passion for learning,
Renae completed the Classical Pilates course with Olga Tamara at Authentic
Pilates Education. In 2023 Renae completed her Cert IV in Training and
assessment and is excited to part of the National Pilates Training team as a
Faculty Educator and Assessor.
Combining both styles has enriched her love & enhanced her confidence in the
beautiful flow of Pilates. Renae is a hands- on Practitioner and her passion for
Pilates comes through her, teaching you, how to execute the control and precision
needed for the repertoire, together with increasing your knowledge of how to
maintain the Pilates technique through your daily activities.
Renae is grateful to have Pilates in her life, for both physical and mental reasons.
It helped her maintain an injury free dance career and helped her through the birth
of her two gorgeous girls. Now in her 50’s Renae feels more energised, balanced,
stronger and invigorated than ever, which helps her keep up with her adorable
Keplie, Nala on their sunrise beach walks.
