The Firebird Experience

You’ll be welcomed with open arms into the Firebird family.

Classes are engaging, dynamic and designed to inspire a sense of physical possibility for all ages. You’ll find lots of collective energy but also a commitment to each individual’s potential and fulfilment.

“I’m passionate about getting people to experience the joy and benefits of movement. I started Firebird to meet the demand for a dance-influenced fitness offer that puts a premium on great teaching and community. It’s a place that encourages both accomplishment and fun.”

Founder, Mia Carruthers

Testimonials

“You can tell she’s not only a professional when it comes to ballet but understands children and how to inspire and get the best out of them.”
Laura, mother of ballet class participant

“I cannot speak highly enough of Mia as a fitness instructor and leader. Mia’s enthusiasm is infectious and motivating, and I always leave her class feeling energized and accomplished. She truly cares about each and every one of her students and is skilled at pushing us hard enough to be a great workout while still keeping us safe and injury-free. On occasion (but thank goodness not too often) I have walked into her classes in a state (work and life challenges!) but I always walk out having been reset as a human being again – transformational!”

John, Fitness Client
