LA Pilates NZ is a small Pilates studio at 7 Odie Place in Wainoni, Christchurch. Its founder, Lynne, brings about 20 years' experience as a personal trainer, pelvic floor exercise specialist, Pilates instructor and pre and postnatal coach. The studio says it aims to inform, inspire and educate about Pilates, and to have fun with it. Classes are said to help build strength, mobility and confidence, to support recovery from injury, and to offer support through pre and postnatal stages. The website says the sessions focus on breathing, mobility, pelvic floor and self-care, and suit people who are new to Pilates as well as regulars. The studio is in a private space, and the website lists a team that includes a studio manager.
Customers describe the classes as fun and welcoming, with muscles they did not know they had feeling the work the next day. One says the studio feels like a small community of regulars who make newcomers comfortable. Another, a first-timer, says the classes were easy to follow and that their core strength has improved. Reviewers mention the fun atmosphere, the studio itself and sore muscles most often.
