Our Story
Founded by Joley, Alt+State Pilates was created to inspire personal transformation through mindful movement. After experiencing the profound benefits of Pilates, Joley envisioned a studio where people of all levels could reconnect with their bodies and minds in a supportive, community-driven environment.
At Alt+State, Pilates is more than a workout—it’s a path to balance, strength, and inner peace. Our classes focus on empowering individuals to unlock their potential, with expert instruction and a welcoming space where progress is celebrated, and all abilities are supported & welcomed. Pilates is for every body.
We invite you to discover the transformative power of Pilates and alter your state, both physically and mentally.

Meet your instructors
MEET JOLEY
Joley has been instructing Pilates in regional WA since 2016, first creating Stem Pilates in Moora and now Alt+State Pilates in Geraldton.
Joley and husband Marcus sought a beach lifestyle change for their four children in 2021 and Geraldton ticked all boxes.
After starting small in Geraldton teaching 1:1 students, Joley opened Alt+State Pilates in September 2022. In August 2024, Alt+State expanded to The Gerald Apartment Hotel.
Joley’s teaching style is eclectic and intentional, having studied Classical & Contemporary Pilates (including GoSlo Method & Franklin Method.)
Her classes are accessible to all levels - because Pilates meets you wherever you are.
MEET DANIELLE
Danielle’s active lifestyle and love for the outdoors requires her to be both strong and flexible.

Danielle’s classes are a blend of functional training with Pilates principals - a real one stop shop for sculpting & improving flexibility!
MEET CINDY
Cindy found Pilates 9 years ago after needing to rehab from her own injuries. Once Cindy experienced the difference, the vitality, freedom of movement, strength and flexibility that Pilates gave her, she knew she would never be without it. Cindy completed her Pilates training with Breathe Education & brings a wealth of knowledge to Alt+State. Cindy’s Stretch and Tone classes are particularly popular and offer a slower paced class, offering clients time to nourish & tap into what their bodies are needing on any day.
