Campbell Pilates & Wellness is a small, personal Pilates studio on Miles Lane in Tauriko, Tauranga, run by instructor Sally, who has taught Pilates in Sydney, London, New York and New Zealand. Its main offer is Reformer classes in small groups, where the equipment is set up for each body so everyone in the class does similar moves at their own level. It also runs one-on-one sessions for beginners and people recovering from injury, mat classes, and gentle programmes for women going through menopause. Its Bone Health group classes are aimed at people with osteoporosis or osteopenia, and Sally holds a Buff Bones certification alongside her Balanced Body Reformer qualification.
Customers say the classes have eased lower back pain, improved their posture and core strength, and helped them get up from a chair with less struggle. One regular, who has attended for about eighteen months, says Sally checks each position so moves can be adapted to avoid injury. Another, who joined a Bone Safe class with osteoporosis, found the small group and the studio welcoming. Several describe the classes as fun as well as hard work.
