Testimonials
My daughter loves Stomping Ground Studios so much that she is doing two classes a week. She says "it is the best studio in Adelaide. I love Stomping Ground Studios because the teachers are nice and we learn really cool moves."
Martin S.
The Equipment Pilates classes here completely changed my life as in the past I had chronic shoulder pain and headaches and my life quality was low and I relied on Ibuprofen a lot. The instructor here is incredible at working with you, your body and injuries to build strength where it is needed, without flaring up pain. Could not recommend enough!
