A reformer pilates studio on Main Street in Greytown, in the South Wairarapa, owned by Ashlee, who first trained as a personal trainer before qualifying as a reformer and mat Pilates instructor. The studio says it is not focused on looks. Its aim is to help people age well, get stronger and move more freely.
Group reformer classes are taught at increasing levels of challenge, so people of different fitness levels can work in the same room. The studio also offers private Pilates sessions and personal training, with sessions tailored to each person's preferences and goals. The website says the studio welcomes all ages and levels, and that people are encouraged to pop in for a chat and a cuppa before they start.
Clients who have written about the studio say it has become a highlight of their week, and that the controlled strength work is more interesting than lifting weights. One says the owner has changed their life. Another describes the classes as a good way to build strength safely.
