The PowerMoves Team
The Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced on 19 May 2020 that Singapore will exit the Circuit Breaker when it ends on 1st June, and embark on a three-phased approach to resume activities safely, beginning with Phase One.
While new daily cases would likely increase once activities resume, the Government will continue to detect and contain cases quickly to prevent new clusters from forming.
The reopening of Pilates and fitness studios is scheduled to be in Phase Two, and not Phase One.
In Phase Two, more activities will resume. However, Singapore can only move into this phase if community transmission rates remain low and stable over the subsequent weeks from Phase One, and the dormitory situation remains under control.
Measures will continue to be lifted gradually in Phase Two, such as:
We seek your understanding and thank you for your patience as we work with our country to reach a new normal; this would be when we are ready to enter into Phase Three.
Stay cheery and stay blessed,
PowerMoves Pilates

Claudel Kuek teams up with Best-Selling Author Jack Canfield, to release the new book, Success Breakthroughs, which brings together successful entrepreneurs to offer advice as a catalyst to success.
Claudel Kuek was selected to be in the book because of her commitment to professional success and willingness to share her vast knowledge. Her expertise in the fitness and wellness industry makes her an asset to the publication and will surely benefit a wide range of readers.
About Claudel Kuek:
Claudel believes that, “our greatest wealth is our health”. On the strength of that conviction, she founded PowerMoves Pilates-in-the-Park with its first studio in the healing serenity and soothing ambience of the city central park in 2006. Over the next 12 years, PowerMoves went on to start up other branches across the country, each housed within a distinctive lifestyle destination surrounded by fine gourmet restaurants, art shops, specialist medical clinics, and nature.
An accomplished ballerina formerly with the UK Royal Academy of Dance and a professionally-certified Pilates trainer, Claudel’s founding philosophy was a heartfelt desire to endow and empower individuals with “a rhythm and confidence that transcends mere exercise and becomes a way of life”. Not unlike ballet, the visible benefits of Pilates are manifested as a combination of energy and elegance that can be perceived even in the way a person moves. Her passion led to PowerMoves becoming a renowned fitness and wellness brand in the country. Her multi-award winning studios have gained numerous accolades such as “Most Beautiful Studios in the World” by Balanced Body Inc, “Best Pilates Classes” by SHAPE magazine, “Best of Singapore” by Tatler magazine; and scoring first place over multiple years consecutively for Most Outstanding Service Quality in the sports and recreation arenas.
At 54 today with two grown-up children, Claudel is a role model for working women and mothers everywhere. She is a Jack Canfield certified master trainer (creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series), and has developed a success coaching enterprise to help aspiring youths and women discover a new capacity and confidence that is founded from fitness and wellness of the mind, body and spirit.
Nurturing new life is a profound experience, and your wellness practice should honor this transformative time. At our exclusive boutique studio in the heart of Dempsey Hill, we redefine prenatal Pilates in Singapore as a cornerstone of luxury, personalized care. This is not a generic class; it is a bespoke movement journey designed to support your changing body, cultivate deep mind-body connection, and prepare you for motherhood with strength and grace.
Pregnancy is a time of incredible physical adaptation. A tailored prenatal Pilates practice offers unparalleled benefits, focusing on core stabilization, pelvic floor health, and functional strength—all within a safe, low-impact framework. The goals shift from intensity to intelligent, supportive movement that addresses common discomforts and builds resilience for labor and recovery.
Key benefits include:
Pelvic Floor & Core Awareness: Learn to engage and release your deep core muscles, providing essential support for your growing baby and preparing for delivery.
Spinal Alignment & Posture: Counteract the postural shifts caused by your changing center of gravity to alleviate back and neck tension.
Strength & Stability: Build functional strength in the glutes, legs, and upper body to carry your baby with ease and maintain mobility.
Breathwork & Relaxation: Master diaphragmatic breathing techniques to manage stress, oxygenate your body, and connect deeply with your baby.
Mind-Body Connection: Cultivate a sense of calm and presence, honoring this special time with dedicated self-care.
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that every pregnancy is unique. Personalized Pilates is not a luxury; it is a necessity for optimal prenatal care. Nestled within the lush, tranquil environment of Dempsey Hill, our studio provides a serene escape from the city’s pace.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive private consultation. Our expert instructors, trained in prenatal-specific methodologies, take the time to understand your individual history, current week of pregnancy, specific sensations, and personal goals. Each subsequent session is then meticulously crafted, adapting as your body changes week by week. We utilize specialized equipment, including the Cadillac and Reformer with tailored spring tensions and props, to ensure you are fully supported and never compromised.
For those with prior Reformer Pilates experience, you possess a fantastic foundation for your prenatal practice. Your existing familiarity with the equipment, understanding of core engagement, and body awareness will allow you to transition smoothly and confidently into this new phase.
Here’s how your Reformer Pilates experience transfers beautifully to prenatal Pilates:
Body Awareness: You already understand the language of Pilates—neutral spine, rib cage placement, and scapular stability—which becomes even more crucial during pregnancy.
Equipment Proficiency: You are comfortable on the Reformer bed, allowing us to focus immediately on pregnancy-specific modifications and prop usage, rather than learning basics.
Strength Base: Your developed strength provides a protective buffer for your joints, which are more vulnerable due to the hormone relaxin.
Breath Integration: You’re accustomed to coordinating movement with breath, a skill we will refine and apply specifically for prenatal and labor preparation.
Our instructors will expertly modify the exercises you know, adjusting ranges of motion, spring loads, and intentions to align perfectly with your prenatal needs, ensuring your practice remains both effective and profoundly safe.
In a personalized Pilates setting, safety is paramount. We adhere to the highest standards of prenatal exercise science. Our instructors provide clear guidance on movements to avoid (like deep twists or supine positions after the first trimester) and offer expert alternatives. Every exercise is curated to honor the stage of your pregnancy, ensuring you and your baby are always nurtured in a protected environment.
We recommend starting after your first trimester, once you have clearance from your obstetrician. However, private consultations can begin earlier to establish a foundation and address any initial concerns.
Absolutely. Our personalized Pilates approach is ideal for beginners. We start slowly, focusing on fundamentals, breathwork, and gentle conditioning, ensuring you feel completely confident and supported.
Opt for comfortable, form-fitting stretchwear that allows your instructor to observe your alignment. We provide a serene, socks-only environment in our pristine studio.
We typically recommend 1-2 private sessions per week, supplemented with gentle home cues. Consistency is key to reaping the lasting benefits.
Pregnancy is a time to invest in the highest standard of care for yourself and your growing family. Our luxury studio in Dempsey Hill is dedicated to providing an oasis of calm and expert, one-on-one attention.
Embrace this sacred chapter with a prenatal Pilates practice that is as unique as you are. Let us guide you in building strength, finding ease, and connecting deeply with your body and baby.
