Stop letting stiffness steal your life
Club Nest Online Mat Pilates
Where Australian women 50+ are proving that getting older doesn’t mean feeling older.
Build strength, ease stiffness and feel at home in your body again - right from the comfort of your own lounge room!
Why movement matters more than ever after 50
When it comes to living your best life in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, staying mobile isn't just about fitness - it's about freedom.
It’s about saying YES to:
✨ That overseas trip without worrying about keeping up
✨ Playing with grandkids on the floor (and getting back up with ease)
✨ Gardening, walking, cycling - without paying for it the next day
✨ Waking up feeling ready to move, not stiff and slow
The truth is, your body changes as you age. Muscles weaken, joints get stiffer, and balance becomes less reliable. But here's what most people don't know:
None of this is inevitable.
With the right kind of movement - gentle, consistent, and designed for your stage of life - you can feel stronger, more flexible, and more confident in your body than you have in years.
That’s where Pilates comes in. And not just any Pilates - Online mat Pilates designed specifically for women like you - Club Nest
You know movement would help. You know you need to do something. But maybe you've been putting it off because you’re worried about:
But here’s what might be holding you back
⚡ Keeping up with others in a class
⚡ Doing something wrong and hurting yourself
⚡ Feeling silly or out of place
⚡ Committing to something that doesn't fit your schedule
⚡ Spending money on something that might not work for you
And you’re feeling frustrated because:
⚡ Your body feels stiffer each year - mornings are the worst
⚡ Things that used to be easy now feel hard
⚡ You're tired of waiting months for physio or specialist appointments
⚡ You don't want to "just accept" that this is how aging feels
⚡ You've tried other exercise programs but they were too intense, too fast, or too complicated
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And here’s the good news…
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Meet Tess
Hi, I’m Tess - and I created Club Nest because I believe your best years are still happening right now - and Club Nest has your back!
I'm a certified Pilates instructor and degree-qualified Myotherapist, but more importantly, I'm someone who believes you CAN feel better, move with ease and ENJOY movement in your life.
With years of hands-on experience working specifically with women 50+, I've seen firsthand what happens when someone believes they should "just live with it" or "that's just part of getting older”.
I’ve watched women:
⚡ Put off holidays because they're worried they won't keep up
⚡ Stop doing activities they love because their bodies feel unreliable
⚡ Lose confidence in their strength and balance
⚡Lose confidence in their strength and balance
But I’ve also witnessed incredible transformations when women are given the right tools, the right guidance, and the right kind of movement.
That’s why I created Club Nest
Not just another Pilates program, but a supportive community where Australian women 50+ can:
✨ Move at their own pace, in their own space
✨ Build real strength without intimidation
✨ Get expert guidance designed for their specific needs
✨ Feel supported, encouraged, and understood every step of the way
I understand the aches, the hesitations, and the questions like "Is this safe for me?" - and I'm here to guide you gently and safely through a proven approach that actually works.
What makes Club Nest different
There are lots of online fitness programs out there. But Club Nest was built specifically for women 50+ who want results without the overwhelm.
Here’s what sets us apart:
✨Designed for you, not adapted for you. Every class, movement and layer is created with 50+ bodies in mind. Not fitness models. Not 30-year-olds. You.
✨ The Pilates + Myotherapy Advantage. Unlike most Pilates instructors, I bring a clinical background in Myotherapy - which means I understand not just HOW to move, but WHY your body feels the way it does and WHAT it needs to feel better.
✨ Move anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re in your lounge room, a hotel room, visiting family or even on a nice patch of grass in a caravan park - your Pilates practice travels with you (and yes, some members even do classes in their pjs!).
✨Live Classes + Full library. Get the accountability and connection of live classes (and the replays) PLUS instant access to 300+ recorded sessions you can do whenever suits you.
✨ Layers, not levels. We don’t do ‘beginner’ vs ‘advanced’ moves. Instead every class offers layers - different ways to do the same movement based on how YOUR body feels TODAY. Some days you’ll go deeper, some days you’ll take it easier and this flexibility matters.
✨ An ego-free, welcoming community. No mirrors, no judgement. No keeping up with anyone. Just real women, real movement, and real support from women who get it.
This isn’t about perfection. This is about feeling good in your body and living your life fully.
And wait till you see just how user-friendly our Club Nest Hub is…
This easy to use platform is

“…thanks to Nest Mildura and the wonderful Tess, I’m stronger & more flexible than I have been for a number of years and feeling very proud of my achievements 😊💪🏾”
— Wendy Allford
Real results: How Wendy went from chronic pain to traveling the world
If she can do it, so can you. Here’s Wendy’s story - one that both she and I love to share.
Enduring chronic back pain and after a knee replacement, slowing down was starting to ‘happen’ to Wendy - comments and thought patterns like ‘this is just how it’s going to be…’
But we changed her story, together.
Was Wendy hesitant at the beginning? Apprehensive? Absolutely. She was seeing a Massage Therapist, Myotherapist AND Osteopath to try to reduce the impact her pain and lack of flexibility was having on her life - she didn’t want to give in - but she didn’t KNOW a better way.
So what made the difference?
It wasn’t more treatments and it wasn’t “living with it”.
It was consistent, gentle, properly-guided movement that gave her body what it actually needed - and Pilates gave her the long-term relief, strength, and confidence she’d been searching for.
Pilates will literally change your life, just like it has done to Wendy’s!
Wendy’s Transformation:
✨ From seeing 3 different manual therapists, chronic back pain, a knee replacement & afraid to do certain movements
✨ To riding her bike confidently, traveling the world in retirement & enjoying Pilates moves she once dreaded.
Waitlist offer ends on Tuesday 14th October
Imagine how your life will look in 3 months…
Picture yourself waking up tomorrow - but instead of feeling stiff, slow and achy, you:
✨ Spring out of bed with a back that feels free and ready (not creaking and complaining)
✨ Say YES with confidence to that walking holiday your friends are planning - because you KNOW you’ll keep up
✨ Get down on the floor to play with your grandkids, then stand back up with ease (minus the terror when they start to climb on you!)
✨ Feel strong and capable in your body - not worried about balance, not afraid of hurting yourself, not wondering if today will be a “good day”
✨ Move through your day with energy, confidence and the freedom to do what you love - gardening, walking, cycling, traveling - without “paying for it” tomorrow
This isn’t a fantasy. This is what happens when you give your body the consistent, gentle, expert-guided movements it’s been craving.
And it all starts with making one simple decision today.

Tess's Nest is magic. I can do her pilates anywhere. Accessible with a capital 'A'. Love the website, everything is clear, progressively set out from beginner onwards, lots of variety. Tess presents it all beautifully. Had a sublime session going through all the intro beginner recordings this morning down at the Cliffs. Sublime. Thankyou Tess.

I thoroughly recommend joining Club Nest. The online mat Pilates classes are fabulous and there is heaps of high quality recorded material available that can be accessed at any time. I love that I don’t have to travel further than my lounge room and can be guided through a fun session by a highly qualified and knowledgeable instructor. Tess is lots of fun and very supportive and encouraging.

I love, love, love, Nest Mildura from afar! As a Club Nest member, I get all the benefits of Tess' extensive myotherapy & pilates knowledge from the comfort of my home 550+kms away. Tess' online membership is inclusive, for all ages and loads of silly fun. You will never regret one of Nest Mildura's mat pilates, gentle flows or stretch sessions, there's something for every person and every mood. My only regret is that I don't live closer to enjoy the reformer studio too! 12/10 stars!

There is no obligation whatsoever. It’s completely up to you. This is your journey. The instructors love the live Mat Pilates sessions, however life is busy, so if you can't make it live they will be available for you to access when you are ready.
Some Club Nest members participate solely via recordings, some only do live classes, and others do a combo of both. That’s the beauty of it!

Mother, daughter, grand-daughter.
Pilates Instructor, Myotherapist, Primary School Teacher.
Words people have used to describe me; fun, genuine, caring, down to earth, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, lovely, amazing, welcoming, positive, vibrant, kind, funny, inclusive, motivating, wonderful.
My journey and experiences, and the people I have learnt from, have all lead me to where I am today. I wouldn’t be the Pilates Instructor I am without the Myotherapy knowledge, the Primary School Teaching experience, the learning to be a mother, the learning from my own mother, the friends who have taught me lessons and the courage I have been given to just be me!
From being a keen sports person, to experiencing back pain for the first time as a teenager, 2 knee reconstructions as an adult, a husband with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a keen interest in how the body works alongside the mind - to being the founder of Nest!
The ladies who inspire me the most, who I love to move with the most, who benefit from my teachings the most - life changing benefits - are my 50+ ladies, who have been with me from the start of my Nest journey! My teaching work colleagues, who supported and encouraged me from the very beginning - it’s people like them who I strive to serve, and I am honoured to serve, and I will continue to serve and support on this Nest journey.
I hope to move with you too. 🤍
