Meet THE Pilates & Co. OWNERS
Belinda Survilla, David Norman and Roz Norman
ROZ AND DAVID NORMAN
Studio founder Roz Norman has been a passionate advocate for healthy living since starting her career as a group fitness instructor at the tender age of 16. Roz’s fitness journey progressed personally and professionally locally and abroad, before moving into management roles for Goodlife and Snap Fitness leaving a trail of motivation and success behind her. She is a sought after industry consultant and owns other fitness businesses giving her a diverse business experience.
Roz discovered that Pilates was so very effective in regaining strength, flexibility and alignment after each of her three beautiful babies. Once she caught the Pilates addiction, the desire to open a studio that she believed combined the perfect mix model became a reality in May 2015 when Roz and David Norman opened Pilates & Co. Roz is qualified in functional fitness classes and Pilates.
Recently Roz was the Head Pilates Coach for Virgin Active fitness clubs in Singapore and supported Thailand across 14 clubs and 10 reformer studios before returning home in 2020 to work on and in the Pilates and Co business.
David’s background is a sport science degree and he has owned award-winning fitness studios in the past and then founded EYE Fitness which supplied innovative fitness products and programming across Australia, NZ and South-East Asia before it merged with another business in 2017 and he exited. This was the catalyst for the move to Singapore to work directly with long term client Virgin Active and head up their fitness offering and expansion in the region.
David and Roz also have an online business www.fitbodonline.com.au that offers commercial and consumer fitness, Pilates and yoga-based accessory products.
David and Roz are the perfect team and are so passionate about helping more and more people enjoy a balanced, healthy exercising life. Hopefully, some of their experience, enthusiasm and enjoyment of life rubs off on you at Pilates & Co.

Her passion for the business has been evident from the beginning pouring her heart and soul into the studio and community, and so it was with much excitement that in 2020, when Pilates & Co launched its Online workouts, upgraded to a bigger Burleigh studio and opened its Bundall studio, that Belinda also became a business partner with Roz and David.
Qualified in Yoga and Pilates, with experience in teaching large group classes, Belinda also specialises in Clinical Pilates sessions and finds great joy in working 1:1 with clients to overcome imbalance, fear and pain associated with movement.
