Urban Reformer Pilates is a pilates studio at 12 William Blake Way, Riverhead, Auckland 0820, in the Rodney district, with a Google rating of 5.0. Its website is urbanreformerpilates.nz, and its name suggests reformer Pilates.
A good pilates studio teaches controlled, precise movement that builds core strength, flexibility, posture and body awareness. Reformer Pilates uses a sliding carriage with springs, which adds resistance and support, and classes are often small so the instructor can correct your form. Before your first class, tell the instructor about injuries, pregnancy or medical conditions, and ask whether a beginner or introductory class is available. Wear fitted, comfortable clothes and grip socks if the studio asks for them, and arrive a few minutes early. Regulars book classes ahead, since small reformer classes can fill, attend at least once or twice a week to see results and check the website for timetables.
For people in Riverhead and north-west Auckland, Urban Reformer Pilates is worth contacting about classes.
