Suna Pilates + Wellbeing

Fantastic experience: Libby is amazing! I participated in her Mat pilates training course. Engaging, full of knowledge and insightful teaching practices. Loved this Suna pilates training as it focuses greatly on the breath.

Fantastic experience: Excellent course! Libby was extremely thorough and is very knowledgeable and experienced in teaching Pilates. Enjoyed the course and the people!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best in Auckland!! Suna Pilates surpassed my expectations!!

Fantastic experience: Well equipped pilates studio - modern, spacious, clean, bright & airy. Friendly staff and/or professional instructors. Good location with easy access and parking.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing the reformer pilates for a couple months now and really enjoying it, the teachers are lovely and really care about your improvement , techniques and listen and take care if you have any injuries.

Fantastic experience: Great classes! Lovely teachers, brand new equipment and a lot of attention and care in the classes, to ensure correct breathing and posture.

Fantastic experience: Suna is a great place for me to keep fit. The one on one lesson with Libby is extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: Love the team at Suna! Always friendly and they care to learn your name and check you have everything you need. Understanding if there are billing issues and work with you to find something that works. Both Pilates and Reformer classes are effective and led by a fantastic team of instructors! It’s a great space and I always enjoy my classes. Member since 2022!

Fantastic experience: Suna plates have very comfortable environments and professional and passional inspectors. I enjoyed every class even I am not a native English speaker. Every inspector very nice. I spend 3 years at here, I can feel I became more healthy and stronger.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a relaxed and excellent run pilates class, then Suna at Takapuna should be your next call. Great for injuries old and new for any age to strengthen and smile as you leave to carry on with your day. I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to pilates for at least 9 years now and although some of the staff have changed over this time they have always been friendly, helpful and full of knowledge. I have learnt so much about my own body and the things I need to do to correct my posture to stay healthy not only in a pilates session where the instructors can correct me if needed but out in my day to day life when I get a pain or a strain. I joined with my goal being that I want to be able to walk/exercise when I am 80 and I am very confident that with the strength I get through the low impact workouts on the reformer this will happen. Thanks to the team at pilates.

Fantastic experience: A great team of people who keep a watchful eye on your positioning. They check in every time with any issues and recommend alternatives accordingly! Keep up the good work Suna.

Fantastic experience: I have started attending reformer pilates sessions since early this year. Wanna keep the momentum during my stay in AKL. By chance I found Suna Pilates + Wellbeing located in Takapuna. They got a trial pack, which you got a taste of two reformer classes and two pilates fit classes, that just costs NZD30 (while each class in HK costs around NZD60 at least!) Suna’s classes are taught based on their postural principles. Once you understand the principles, the correct part of muscle will be trained. Attending Suna’s classes are not just fun, but also you can observe the mind-body connection under guidance of professional trainers throughout the 45mins workout. Your mind got nothing but only breathing, your pelvic floor muscle, and your core. Just finished my last session in AKL before leaving, and already missing it! Will rejoin again in summer time‍♀️!

Fantastic experience: I am totally new to Pilates and any fears melted away when I met Libby my instructor at Suna Pilates. I found the one on one session in the private studio to be so helpful as the key principles of Pilates were demonstrated and explained to me and in a way that was so accessible and encouraging. My own personal situation was taken into account and as a mature woman, I was given such sensitive and affirming feedback and felt so welcome from both Libby and Georgina who showed me around. Each step of the initial workout was explained in a way that I understood with the focus on breath work underlying the Pilates ethos. I came away excited for my next session and was really pleased to see how each piece of equipment works in the light, airy and welcoming space at Suna with very well maintained equipment. I look forward to next session with Libby. I felt an immediate connection with her instructor style which was set a pace that gave me time to understand each exercise, piece of equipment and the purpose or goal and the physiology behind Pilates. Thank you Nicky

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad that I chose Suna to continue my Pilates journey. I've completed Mat Pilates instructor course at Suna. That was amazing and Libby is fantastic. I do enjoyed the two-day course and learned a lot. Thanks Libby. I'm looking forward to join the Reformer training session. Besides, a big thanks to everyone helped me at Suna. Norie and Georgina are so nice and they helped me with booking the classes. Anna is lovely and she was one of those who introduced Suna to me at the very beginning. Thank you all.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Mat1 course with Suna & loved it! Thanks Libby for sharing your knowledge! I learnt a lot and can’t wait to put it all into practice.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train and rehab from those niggles in life. Trainers are friendly and knowledgable and everybody there is willing to help.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. The Pilates Fit classes are amazing and the staff are great!

Fantastic experience: Incredible company - the facilities are amazing and the teachers are extremely knowledgable and professional. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Suna Pilates 1 Barry's Point Road, Takapuna, have therapists with techniques to sort out my aches. They give me exercises to strengthen my body.

Fantastic experience: For the last 4 years the Team at Suna have been part of my Fitness and Well-being journey, caring and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly. Caring teachers and challenging workouts. You will love Suna.

Positive experience: Being a "senior citizen " doesn't prevent me from taking part in all the exercises because the friendly, experienced instructors know my injuries and limitations and show me a safe alternative. The many variations and variety of the exercises keep me interested and challenged. Having an explanation of each exercise and how to do it safely is great.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Suna for your professionalism and expertise. Libby is a great teacher of teachers and I’m very happy to have completed my Pilates Mat training with you.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Suna for 4 years now and it's transformed how I feel in my body. The classes are varied and the exercises gentle yet challenging. Caring instructors and a variety of class times make it easy to get there regularly.

Fantastic experience: Being an early childhood teacher is a very physical job. After a back injury and really bad sciatica in my late 40’s it was recommended by my physio to give pilates a go. I went along to Suna and was immediately welcomed by a wonderful team with my well being at the top their priority. Now at almost 53, Suna has become my life. It has given me back so much body strength, which has helped immensely in my job. The breathing energises you during each exercise, and you always walk out feeling like you’ve worked every muscle in your body.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Suna Pilates! I have been going to the Fit classes for many years, they are always varied, always well instructed and I come out feeling tired, but great! The instructors are top notch

Fantastic experience: Suna has made an incredibly positive impact on my body and mind. The trainers are caring, responsive and just tough enough to help you get the results you want and need. I’ve been going for twice a week for 14 months and, at 45 years old, I’ve never felt better.

Fantastic experience: Love my weekly Reformer pilates sessions at Suna Pilates. Alway good parking, smiling faces, great instructors and a good work out. Highly recommend to anyone considering getting into Pilates.

Fantastic experience: I completed my Mat Level 1 Pilates training course here and it was AWESOME! I can't recommend this place enough. I've done lots of teacher / instructor trainings and this one stood out. Libby is exceptional at what she does, she was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and just a lot of fun to learn from. Thanks for the experience SUNA :)

Fantastic experience: I started reformer pilates back in August and love it! I've always struggled maintaining any type of exercise routine but really enjoy these classes. Every class is different and challenging and I feel alot better physically and mentally. Thank you to all the staff! You are all amazing.

Fantastic experience: Surpassed my expectations, the team, the classes.

Fantastic experience: Life changing! Apart from walking, I’ve always avoided exercise and as for the gym - hated it. I’ve had neck and back issues my entire adult life and in the past, exercise has always led to flair ups and pain. I hate to think what I’ve spent on physios, chiropractors and osteopaths. From the first session at Suna, I was so pleasantly surprised. Each instructor is constantly monitoring posture to ensure every movement is done correctly. The exercises are challenging but I can honestly say I love it and all the staff are so personable, so knowledgeable and they adapt exercises for me that don’t exacerbate my injuries. I go three days a week and I can definitely see and feel the positive changes to my body. I’ve been back to the osteo just once since I started about 6 months ago. They also offer kinesiology which is proving to be really helpful as well. Since starting, I’ve recommended Suna to so many people. They have lots of sessions every day so there’s always a time that works. I look forward to every session. In fact I had to take a week off recently for work and really missed it, and I never thought I’d feel like that about exercise. I’m stronger, more toned and most importantly I’m just way more aware of my posture and what I need to do to avoid further injury. Don’t hesitate!

Fantastic experience: Great classes and wonderful instructors who really care.

Fantastic experience: Suna is like no where I've trained before - the actual workout is the best in the business, and the staff are wonderful and supportive. I'm so grateful I've found Suna, and am able to train using their methods. I will never do anything else. Thanks guys! x

Fantastic experience: Such friendly environment, I love the simplicity in their teaching, not overwhelming and suits every level of fitness you are. its cleans and hygiene is properly managed. I feel great coming out of a class every single time!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely recommend these online classes. It's like having a personal instructor available 24/7. The instruction for all exercises are so well verbalised you really don't need video at all. You can do pilates any day or time according to your schedule.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Since starting at Suna Pilates I am stronger and fitter than I have ever been.

Fantastic experience: I love Suna Pilates! The staff are fantastic; the classes are never boring; the trainers know their stuff & care about you and what you're doing. Added bonus: there's always a friendly welcome too. Thanks Suna!

Fantastic experience: After 10 years and counting with Suna it’s fair to say I am addicted to Pilates. Their workouts are responsive, challenging and super functional. They have helped me bounce back after two pregnancies and the classes provide precious “me time” each week. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: You could not ask for more from this amazing team. They are exceptional Pilates instructors, they look after your health and well-being and go out of their way to create a welcoming environment. It is the best vibe from the moment you step in the door!

Fantastic experience: Suna Pilates is a great place to work out. I am a member for several years and attend a Suna Fit class three times weekly. The trainers are experienced and fun and they are structuring the exercises for every fitness level. There is always a challenge if you want it but it is also a very safe way of exercising. As GP my work is mainly sedentary and I benefit from my good core strength in having a better posture and less back pain. I would definitely recommend this studio. Cheers Antje

Fantastic experience: Suna Pilates is the best Pilates studio I have been to and I have been to many both in NZ and overseas. I love how the workouts are designed according to the seasons, which makes me feel more in tune with my body. The workouts are strong and energising yet relaxing, I go several times a week and each class is different, there is never any monotony. The atmosphere is very friendly and peaceful, the instructors are all lovely and professional. The studio is also very clean and sanitised. I couldn’t recommend Suna enough!

Fantastic experience: I love having Suna Pilates in my life. After a class I feel so relaxed and cared for. It is good for the mind and the body. The instructors are respectful and knowledgeable. You will find all your little niggles will disappear and you’ll become stronger in body and mind.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and positively welcoming. Suna Pilates are a family of experienced and professional instructors, always making me feel like my mind and body always matters. My body strength and mental ability is so much stronger now, I love my new confidence. Thanks Team!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Suna for over 10 years, starting because of a lower back problem that at times left me unable to walk. I’ve continued to keep going for all the other multiple benefits I receive. My posture has improved significantly. I’ve never been flexible but find I’m more flexible now than I was when younger. The Suna team are professional and take great care that the exercises are done correctly, while still managing to keep it fresh week after week! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Gail

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Staff are so helpful and patient, I struggle with lordosis and it's helping immensely already ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: I love Suna Pilates!

Fantastic experience: Love going to Suna!, have been coming for two years, I wish I had started sooner.

Fantastic experience: Instructors at Suna exactly know what they are doing and what their clients want. My lower back pain (which caused by mixture of bad posture and pregnancy) has been slowly phasing out since I joined Suna. Also my ab muscle separation (aka Diastasis recti) gets better. Thanks team Suna. You guys are awesome. I hear the voice of ‘belly button to spine’, ‘tuck in’ whenever my posture gets bad

Fantastic experience: This is my Suna Pilates garden. "What?" I hear you say. After a long and incomplete recovery from a major lower back fusion in 2014, I had become something of a 70+ woosy unfit XBoxing couch potatoe. Fortunately I was also a keen Leighton Smith fan and had listened to his enthusiastically positive adverts about Suna Pilates (SP) for quite a while. Eventually I actually heard what he was saying. So I finally went along to an SP Intro in early 2018. The rigorous and compassionate guidance of the very well informed SP Instructor Team has greatly improved my core strength, posture and energy levels. Eeeasy Vini, right? One of the many outcomes I now enjoy from being an SP member is my garden; I simply could not have lugged and placed the 60 x 60 cm garden pavers or do the necessary and frequent green thumbing without SP. So; if you are the least bit interested in giving your body and motivation a treat, take yourself along to SP to find out what will work best for you. They offer an extensive range of classes and timetables. They really will take care of you - It's not easy but it works! ⛑️

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome place! Highly recommend - From someone who used to be REALLY active then a few serious injuries made me take a back seat and its been a long painful and frustrating road physically and mentally not being as fit as I feel I should be. Finally taking steps to getting strong again 8 weeks in at Suna and I am feeling great. Everyone at Suna has been so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do it's really a great space!

Fantastic experience: Been going a few weeks now. Such a super lovely, friendly team and what a great work out. Feeling great :)

Fantastic experience: Just did an awesome Jump Class as Suna. Popped on to take a look and Gabby said I could join the 12.30 class. Great ab, butt & thighs class. Thanks heaps to Libby & Gabby

Fantastic experience: Suna Pilates is just what the doctor ordered. The instructors' expertise, friendliness and professionalism, the location/parking, convenient class times and affordability. Pilates is the perfect exercise for toning up for all ages (and abilities) and my asthma is gone.

Fantastic experience: I just would like to say ditch gym and go for Suna pilate, I obtained a flat tummy first time in my life. Staff are well trained and extremely friendly, and the class is varied all the time. I had good time there.
