Members book a reformer machine at a time that suits them, and teacher-led classes are also available. The website says the on-demand classes are hosted by experienced instructors, and vary in length and focus, with some 20-minute sessions. It lists strength, flexibility and mindfulness work, as well as Hyrox-focused classes on areas such as thoracic rotation, hip power and foot and ankle resilience. Classes can be set to beginner, intermediate or advanced levels, and can be taken in Spanish, German or French. New on-demand classes are added each month. The same brand has studios in Papamoa and Taupō.
The brand began when founders Kate and JP struggled to keep up their reformer routines with a young family, and found existing classes too expensive and rigid. Kate began practising in the garage during nap times. The website describes the aim as affordable Pilates that fits busy lives, without fixed class times. Our pick in Tauriko for reformer Pilates that fits around a busy schedule.
