Peak Pilates & Physio - St Heliers

Fantastic experience: Simone is an outstanding, gifted teacher. Actually, so much more than that. She has helped me to reform my body, from a hunched, arthritic office worker to a slim, strong and flexible woman with the confidence to take on physical challenges I would never have thought possible. I have more strength and flexibility now than I did in my twenties. Simone has changed my life. And the studio is in an unbeatable location. I am beyond grateful.

Fantastic experience: Great Pilates. Awesome instructors, caring and supportive Physiotherapist - excellent service all around.

Fantastic experience: I was once described as being like a half shut pocket knife. As a middle man I needed to do something about it. I was introduced to Simone's stretch class. several months in i cant believe the difference. Simone works her magic every class. I have learnt new meanings for words such as butterfly, the pigeon, sloth happy and angry cat and of course upward/downward dog. The classes are fun with light banter and humour while achieving movement and flexibility. Simone introduces is a new move every class and at times I wish the class could be 90 minutes, hint hint.

Fantastic experience: Peak Pilates St Heliers has been instrumental in my recovery from a tibial plateau fracture 5 years ago.

Stretch classes are not to be missed either, especially if you want a mixture of feeling energised & relaxed.

Fantastic experience: A session with Simone is Master Class in Pilates. She keeps the class focused and is great on technique. My past knee injury has significantly improved while strengthening my core and body.

Shaking is transformational! It’s the little things that count! Just because you can doesn’t mean you should! Control is everything! I only speak the truth! Every day is a good day to do Pilates!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding! Excellent instructor Simone, I have fully recovered from a shoulder injury through Peak with Pilates and Physio which meant I didn't need surgery. Location is epic with sea views, easy parking, great class sizes. I've been going for about 4 years, can't imagine my life without Pilates in it. Simone's classes always fun and there's lots of variety so you don't get bored. Also great for the brain! Highly recommended.!

Fantastic experience: I’ve clocked up over 200 sessions at Peak St Heliers and each time learn something new. Just treated my running daughter and myself to a private class with Simone.

Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Simone is energetic, passionate and makes Pilates fun. Shes got great attention to detail when it comes to form. She’s the bomb! Best Pilates view in Auckland.

Fantastic experience: I will recommend Peak pilate, the studio located fresh breeze water front. Professional instructors, I enjoy class with Simone Mclean since 2011. Her class alway fun and effective. I was with seriously lower back pain, after over ten years consistently pilate I am not only fix the issues but also built my fitness level up. I did my first half marathon last year.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service physiotherapy and amazing Pilates classes !! Highly Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I got bicycle injury and was with Alana. She is wonderful friendly, knowledgeable and so lovely. She is also a great pilates instructor as well. My pain is gone now and felt more comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Peak St Heliers for 5 years and it's a great studio. Highly recommend Simone's classes for a great workout and a good laugh at the same time. I came to pilates with herniated discs and, through pilates physio and ongoing classes, have managed to avoid injections and surgery and am back to high impact exercise- I can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous venue looking out over the water with a top-flight instructor in Simone to match. Classes are always full of fun, variety and just the right amount of good pain. Recommend,

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Simone and would challenge anyone to find a better Pilates instructor! She has a wealth of knowledge and ensures the classes are well paced, challenging and fun!

Fantastic experience: I have started coming to this studio since 2011. Their level and attention to details of Pilates instructors and Physio therapists have been amazing. I knew nothing about Pilates before and I have learned a lot since then. But I am still learning at every single class I attend as instructors are always come up with something different/new all the time. Definitely a must if you have lower back pain like me or something wrong with your body but you don’t know why it is keep happening. Most important thing I have learned in Pilates (apart from breathing, to recognise where you are in space and what kind of bad habits I have when I move my body etc) which has given me a body to recognise what i am doing wrong and hopefully prevent future accidents or pain!

Fantastic experience: We are so fortunate to have such an amazing instructor .I have been attending Simone’s classes now for quite a number of years, she is definitely the main reason for me attending 4 classes a week.

Fantastic experience: Simone’s classes are amazing, her stretch classes relieve the pain and make me feel incredible. The views the inspiration. Perfect way to end or start your day.

Fantastic experience: Simone is the most amazing instructor. Benefit to me after a professional career has been significant . Never a dull moment And a great venue .

Fantastic experience: Peak Pilates, St Heliers has the best studio view & a great team. I have been attending sessions with Simone for over 10 years & it’s still fun & upbeat with no two classes the same. Regular attendees add to the team atmosphere. Well done to the St Heliers crew!!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to the St Heliers studio (from another great Peak studio) during the 2021 Aug-Dec Akld Covid lockdown as outdoor classes were available to keep my sanity and fitness intact. I've had two skiing injuries since then and the availability of excellent physios who can also rehabilitate with Pilates helped me recover my confidence and strength quickly. Receptionist Sai is friendly and accommodating. An amazing Pilates instructor from my previous studio, Leoni, also does classes here, mainly intro/beginner classes currently. One of the best things about Peak St Heliers is their Master Pilates instructor, Simone. Her classes are fun but seriously effective. Never say you can't feel the muscle you are exercising or within seconds, you will! Simone caters for all ages, all shapes and sizes, men and women, and under her watchful eye I am achieving my fitness goals. If you are new to her classes it is worth doing a few 1:1 sessions so she can get to know your fitness needs. It is so good to feel strong and fit. And a few years ago I did not think this was possible. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Peak at St Heliers for over ten years and cannot recommend it highly enough. I had a hip replacement 4 years ago and under Simone's expert guidance on the reformers I recovered safely and fully regained my strength! She is the best!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Peak Pilates studio in St Heliers. Simone’s classes are amazing - I’ve been going for years and it’s always challenging in the best possible way. She’s a brilliant instructor who keeps us focussed, engaged and smiling. The 1h classes fly by. Cannot imagine being taught by anyone else. But make sure you book - Simone’s classes are always full!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Pilates studio - with awesome instructors and physios. Simone is a stand out, very knowledgeable and every class is challenging and always fun! I am a long standing client of St Heliers and they have helped keep my body flexible and strong, even through sporting injuries. I would highly recommend a visit!

Fantastic experience: Pilates has improved the way I exercise as it has improved my core strength resulting in a lot fewer injuries. The best class for me is the stretch class - don’t mock it until you’ve tried it and see the benefits. My go to instructor for the last 10 years is Simone (a master instructor) who is simply awesome. Generally a wait list for her classes but it’s worth it.

Fantastic experience: Awesome team of instructors and physios, great location with waterfront views, and a good range of classes to suit all levels. Peak is different to other Pilates studios as group classes are kept small and instructors are either Master level or also physiotherapists - so they are much more attentive to each person, are in tune with how your body should be moving, and can modify movements to allow for individual ability or injuries/pain. I started with Peak nearly 1yr ago for physio with Alana for rehab on my lower back, and recently eased back into beginner Pilates sessions thanks to her. I’ve now moved onto intermediate classes with Simone - who not only brings great variety and energy to her classes, but also uses vocab that clearly articulates how to engage and move your body correctly to improve technique.

Fantastic experience: I drop into Simone’s classes and I really love her teaching style. She changes up the moves for each class. I get a great work out and can feel the results. She gives easy to understand corrections that makes me work the right parts and protects my back and knees. Easy to book online!

Fantastic experience: Simone is the best instructor that I have come across! She is knowledgeable, positive and engaging. I have been taking classes from Simone for over two years, and I am amazed, again and again, that she is an amazing instructor for students of all levels. And you are always guaranteed a full body work out. I would recommend Simone to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Peak St Heliers is a great local Pilates studio. Simone has to be one of the most knowledgeable, passionate and experienced instructors around. Her classes are varied, fun and high energy. Then there’s the location with stunning views of Auckland Harbour. Highly recommend for anyone looking for effective core and resistance training.

Fantastic experience: Alana gave me a wonderful intro to Pilates. Excited to get started on my journey to strength and better posture.

Fantastic experience: Great team at St Heliers Peak Pilates. Always look after you and provide excellent treatment and care.

Fantastic experience: Great team . Very good communication and expert care .

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a true professional physiotherapist. She has corrected my posture, restored flexibility in my neck muscles, and eased pressure in my lower back. No matter what issues I have, she knows how to correct. She's a very pleasant person.

Fantastic experience: I have been a regular client for a few years and love the welcoming and friendly environment at St Heliers. The team go out of their way to make each visit very worthwhile. The treatment I receive is excellent and I always feel confident that any niggle or injury will be handled with care and competence!

Fantastic experience: Have been a regular here for over two years for both Pilates and Physio. A really great team especially appreciating support from Odette and physio treatment from Kelly and Lisa with hugely positive outcome.

Fantastic experience: I am prepping for knee surgery. Lizzie has driven me to a new level over 6 weeks. Great professional service. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: A crackerjack team of women – super professional. Special thanks to Lizzie Clarke for kneading new life into my damaged 72-year-old back.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Peak Pilates. I have been seeing Kelly as my physio she is lovely and very knowledgeable and skilled and has helped me alot with my injury recovery. I always feel much better after a session with her. Also the pilates classes and instructors are awesome, has really helped my fitness and in my recovery!

Fantastic experience: I went to Peak for help with damaged fingers and Lisa was wonderfully friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to provide quality care and advice while also holding a pleasant conversation. I recomend not needing physio at all, but if you do, choose Peak!

Fantastic experience: I think it is a great place and had been attending the place for over a year before the Covid lockdown last year. Currently physio sessions with Amelia and she is amazing. Have tried another Peak Pilates clinic but still prefer St Heliers. Nothing beats the view too!!

Fantastic experience: Amelia has done excellent physio on my ankle. She is also a very good Pilates instructor. She checks that we are managing the session OK and pushes us a little bit further in each session.if she is not available we choose to wait un til she is next there rather than take another instructor.

Negative experience: Twice used their online contact form to politely ask for info for my partner, but I was ignored both times. They did add me to their spam email list though, haha. Zero stars, very poor customer service.
