A reformer Pilates studio at 53 Brighton Mall in New Brighton, a short walk from the beach. The founder, Elizabeth, is a New Brighton local with a background in classical ballet and physiotherapy. The classes use a dynamic reformer style that is high-intensity but low-impact, built around time under tension, and the website says the approach is calm and welcoming for beginners and returning students. Classes are sold as fortnightly memberships and class packs, and packs expire after two weeks. A 2.8% payment processing fee applies. One-to-one clinical Pilates for injury is available, and ACC-funded 1:1 sessions are listed, with enquiries by email to hello@camppilates.co.nz.
Customers say the studio is gorgeous and clean, and that the seaside location is a big part of the appeal. Reviewers praise the instructors as skilled and knowledgeable, and say they add the right level of challenge. The studio's golden retriever, Rudi, visits, which one reviewer says is a highlight. The welcoming atmosphere is mentioned often. Our pick in New Brighton for reformer Pilates with a beach walk on the way home.
