I work for ANZ in the Private Bank team looking after the financial needs for high net worth clients. I have two kids, 11 & 8, and dabble in running activities. My main focus is to stay fit & healthy to be able to lead an enjoyable life.
I’d loved Pilates pre-kids when I lived in Auckland so the opportunity arose to attend a session through Grab One a couple of years after moving to Tauranga post kids so thought it was a good way to re-find stomach muscles and start looking after myself again.
I've been coming since the start.
Mainly group sessions but treat myself to private sessions a few times each year. Weekly regular attendee.
A nice strong core which has allowed me to finish international marathons and ultra marathons without quite enough running training.
Amazing fun team of instructors who get my week off to a great start. Ability to use different apparatus if we choose to. Flexibility of the sessions to focus on specific areas that members of the session need to work on. Lovely studio, I started with Stephen when he worked from a small room inside a gym, this is his third commercial studio space in downtown Tauranga, each one bigger and nicer than the last without increasing the group class size. The focus is till on Small Group and Personal Pilates. Instead of increasing the numbers of people at a time, he's increased the range of Pilates apparatus.
Call me old fashioned but the good old hundred.
Teaser & Tendon stretch….argh!!
If you are considering giving Pilates a go, we've got a great introduction offer for our new clients.
