Grace Horsey builds balance through Pilates

Executive Assistant to Gary Peer, Grace Horsey, turns up the heat with a mix of hot mat and reformer Pilates. This combination keeps her body challenged and her energy high – giving her a full-body workout that strengthens and stretches her muscles while clearing her mind.

It’s a regular routine that helps her stay mentally sharp in a fast-paced role, and has proven a great way to keep stress at bay.

For Grace, Pilates is less about trying to tick a fitness box – and more about feeling good, inside and out.

 

 

Anthony Lee finds peace on his doorstep

As Branch Manager of the Property Management Division, Anthony Lee spends his days solving problems. So when it’s time to recharge, he keeps things simple: a walk around Albert Park Lake or the Royal Botanic Gardens.
