Reform Ferrymead is a boutique Reformer Pilates studio located at 1063 Ferry Road, Ferrymead, and is the second studio owned by Alyse and Olivia, alongside their original Colombo Street location. Described as the "little sister" studio, Reform Ferrymead is smaller in size but delivers the same athletic, high-standard Reformer training that the Christchurch community knows and trusts.
Nestled among the shops in Ferrymead, the studio offers an intimate training environment, including a dedicated 1:1 and 2:1 private room for personalised sessions alongside its group class offering. The studio is built around thoughtful programming and strong coaching, aiming to bring the same depth of experience as its sister studio in a more compact, boutique setting.
Reform Ferrymead is part of the wider Reform Fitness New Zealand group, which also operates a head office for general enquiries, with each individual studio handling its own local contact and scheduling.
Tucked among the shops of Ferrymead at 1063 Ferry Road, Reform Ferrymead is the second studio from Alyse and Olivia, the pair behind the original Reform Fitness studio on Colombo Street. Where the flagship studio set the standard for athletic, high-quality Reformer Pilates in Christchurch, Reform Ferrymead brings that same approach to a smaller, more intimate space.
Reform Ferrymead is described by its owners as the "little sister" to Colombo Street — smaller in footprint, but not in impact. The studio delivers the same athletic, high-standard Reformer training that the Christchurch community has come to know and trust, just packaged into a more compact, boutique setting. For clients who prefer a quieter, more personal environment over a larger studio floor, Ferrymead offers exactly that kind of intimate training space.
Alongside its group Reformer classes, Reform Ferrymead has invested in something not every studio offers: a dedicated 1:1 and 2:1 private room. This means clients who want fully personalised coaching — whether working through an injury, building specific strength goals, or simply preferring one-on-one attention — have a purpose-built space for it, separate from the group class area. It's a feature that speaks to the studio's broader philosophy of thoughtful programming and strong coaching, regardless of whether a client is training solo, in a pair, or as part of a group.
The studio sums up its identity in a simple line: "Boutique feel. Big standards. Community-driven." That combination — a smaller physical space paired with the same coaching depth and community focus as the original studio — is central to what makes Reform Ferrymead distinct within the wider Reform Fitness network. It's designed for people who want the full Reform experience without the scale of a larger studio.
Reform Ferrymead operates under the Reform Fitness New Zealand umbrella, which includes multiple studios around the country. While the head office handles general enquiries, each studio — including Ferrymead — manages its own local contact and class scheduling directly, so clients dealing with Ferrymead specifically can reach the studio via its dedicated email address.
Clients can purchase class packs and gift cards online through the studio's Mindbody booking system, and the studio's class schedule is also available to view online. For anyone curious about what a session looks like before committing, the studio's social channels on Facebook and Instagram offer a look into the space and the training style on offer.
Whether it's a first introduction to Reformer Pilates or a search for a more personal, boutique alternative to a larger studio, Reform Ferrymead positions itself as a community-focused option in the Ferrymead area — built on the same foundations as its Colombo Street sister studio, just in a smaller, more intimate form.
