Pilates Centre is a fully equipped Pilates studio on Anglesea Street in Hamilton Central, founded in 2000 by Vicky, a registered physiotherapist. It runs group classes on the mat and on the reformer, and classes that use the full studio equipment. A slow mat class teaches breathing and movement for beginners and for people recovering from injury. There are also a beginner reformer class, a reformer class for older adults and people with osteoporosis, and a Saturday 9am class called Strong and Stretchy, which is online via Zoom. Private sessions with a physiotherapist or qualified instructor use the trapeze table, reformer, ladder barrel and multi chair, and semi-private sessions let a friend or partner share the hour.
Customers praise the instructors, the room and the equipment, and recommend both the classes and the one-to-one sessions. One long-time client says the team has helped with flexibility, strength and balance. Another, who is training in Polestar Pilates in the USA, says they have learned a great deal from Vicky and Belinda. Classes are booked through the Pilates Centre Hamilton NZ app and need 24 hours' notice to cancel. Late cancellations and non-attendance are charged in full.
