G Movement is a small Pilates and weights studio at 111 Sandringham Road in Kingsland. It was started by a teacher who believes movement connects people to their bodies, minds and each other. Classes are kept small on purpose, so the teachers get to know each client.
The studio runs five named reformer classes. G Signature is a slow, balanced class that builds strength, stability and control. G Power adds weights and functional strength work to Reformer Pilates. G Reset is gentle and restorative, combining Pilates-style movement with stretching and breath work. G Jump Power adds cardio on a jump board while still using the Reformer. G Start introduces the equipment and the basics to beginners and first-timers. The studio says the classes suit all levels, with options for people new to Pilates and progressions for experienced clients.
The website lists the studio's focus areas as pre- and post-natal Pilates, peri-menopause, pelvic floor strengthening and rehabilitation.
Clients come from Kingsland and the nearby suburbs of Mt Albert, Mt Eden, Morningside and Grey Lynn. The studio is a modern space with a welcoming feel, and it sits within easy reach of those neighbourhoods.
Our pick in Kingsland for a small class that suits a first-timer and a seasoned Pilates regular alike.
