SMART Pilates is a home-based reformer Pilates studio at 12 Sara Way in Whitianga, Thames-Coromandel. It opened in June 2024, according to its website, and offers semi-private reformer sessions with no more than three people in a class. The first session includes an assessment, after which a customised programme is designed and adjusted as the client improves. Each class is followed by a 15-minute gap so people can finish without rushing. Sessions are offered pay-as-you-go, with discounts for packs of five or ten sessions. Non-slip grippy socks are required, and can be bought at the studio for $5.00 as at 2026. The website says classes are open to all ages and fitness levels, and that the studio uses state-of-the-art reformers.
Reviewers describe the instructor, Sangita, as the best teacher they have had, who tailors exercises to each person's ability and gently pushes them to do more. One reviewer has practised Pilates for over ten years, and another had a great first lesson. The website's client stories mention adapting work for injuries and improved strength and balance.
