Owen Hutchinson (the business guy)
CEO of LIVe

As the co-founder of Live Pilates, Owen firmly believes in the power of movement through pilates to rejuvenate and optimise your body. He places a high priority on not just helping clients to feel and move better, but to create awareness and education about posture, alignment and anatomical balance. When he’s not teaching pilates, owen focuses on the development of the LIVe brand and service to the public and its impact on the clients and the community.

Prior to creating this company Owen was involved in elite level Water Polo, playing with both State and National squads. He began attending pilates classes to compliment his training schedule and soon found a lack of awareness in his own body: “I never realised just how out of whack my body was no matter how fit I thought I was. I started to understand how my bad posture and imbalances in my body were compensating in so many ways and how this affected the way I moved, and how it affected my sporting performance.”

Through pilates, Owen discovered a balance in himself both mentally and physically which is what he now dedicates his time to helping other people find.
Live Pilates offers classes in 8 locations around Perth which include Applecross, Mt. Pleasant, Cottesloe, South Perth, Atwell, Maylands, Mt Hawthorn and Hillarys and also have an extensive corporate client base. Owen and his company have been successful in achieving their goals in the industry so far and with a growing team of instructors are aiming for further success. Success not just measured by capital worth or industry status, but by the number of clients that realise their goals through pilates and develop a faith in the movement.

“Pilates and the awareness and knowledge that it gives you ensures your body is working at its best. It helps your body to work for you, not against you, so that when you wake up in the morning you feel 10 years younger, not 20 years older. I want people to feel that, and be as passionate as I am about pilates and its benefits!”
