A private one-on-one Pilates studio that works from a home studio on Sievwright Lane in Whataupoko, Gisborne. The teacher is an Authentic Pilates and Romana's Pilates instructor with more than 20 years' experience. Sessions are personalised and begin with a pre-screening and assessment, after which a programme is set for the client's needs. The work covers strength, stretching, posture, mobility, core strength, alignment and rehabilitation, and suits athletes as well as people who want to get back on the floor with grandchildren. The teacher will consult other health professionals when needed. The website says bookings are made by message, and a separate group mat class is run in Wainui by another instructor, who takes bookings directly.
Customers describe the teacher as friendly, enthusiastic, helpful and fun, and say the sessions are challenging but enjoyable.
