Movement Pilates

Fantastic experience: Great space, great instructors, great vibe

Fantastic experience: Fav Pilates studio! Shan & the team make each class fun, exciting & challenging. They’re all super helpful if you need a modification, or if you need more springs to increase the burn. If you’re not from the area definitely worth the drive to check out this studio ♥️

Fantastic experience: Movement Pilates is such a fun studio! The trainers are fantastic, offering the perfect balance of challenge and support. Each class is unique, and I love that you're encouraged to do what works best for you. Coming here is always a highlight of my week—keep up the great work, team!

Fantastic experience: This is the best reformer Pilates studio I have been to. Great local parking, lovely studio with brilliant teachers who with their expertise come up with a different routine with every class. Im a dedicated attendee. Especially love the terrific Carson. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I love this studio. Shannon and her team are all lovely people. I started here over 3yrs ago when I was very unfit with an injury. All the instructors were brilliant at helping me with modifications without disrupting the flow of the class, and my strength, fitness and mental wellbeing have increased enormously since then. The All Levels classes really are brilliant for people at all levels - whether you've never done pilates before or are returning to it like me or are super experienced and strong. They're adept at giving you options so everyone is pushing themselves no matter what their level. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and really good instructors. I thought this might be a lighter version of mat Pilates but it’s much more of a workout. The machines are a great way to exercise.

Fantastic experience: Fav pilates studio with the best teachers! Super welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: I started pilates in my 40s after finding everything just felt harder physically. My strength was poor and I wanted a change. Movement pilates has made a HUGE difference to my quality of life. My strength is so much better, I have less aches and pains and best of all, I actually enjoy the classes. Shan and her team of instructors are brilliant, kind (important when you're building body confidence) and fun. I thoroughly recommend, whether you are young, older, fit or desperately unfit like I was.

Fantastic experience: Love these reformer classes - intimate enough to get attention when needed but big enough to give encouraging and motivating environment. They are fun, quick, efficient and I felt a lot stronger within a few sessions. The 5 class package was a great way to try it out. I’m now hooked. All teachers I have had have been great. Very friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio, very high quality reformers and instructors that really care about their clients wellbeing and enjoyment. The variety of flows/exercises will suit everyone ranging from a beginner all the way to advanced. All the instructors I have met are also extremely welcoming and friendly and I leave each class feeling stronger and challenged! I couldn’t recommend this studio enough!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this studio, have tried a few others before settling with Movement. I don’t know what it is, can’t pin point to one exact thing but this studio is special. Brought a few friends who jumped shipped over too (from other studios) All the instructors are highly skilled, kind, welcoming, friendly, supportive and caring too. Carson and Shan are my absolute favourite as I love the flow of their classes. I also love that the classes suits a range of levels, from beginner to advanced - on days where I’m feeling gung-ho, I go with level 2/3 settings, and on days where I’m feeling a little meh, I go with level 1 options. It might just be a 50 minute class 2-3 times a week, but I always feel refreshed afterwards - physically and mentally. Definitely give it a go, you won’t regret it x

Fantastic experience: Shannon and the team are fantastic. I was quite nervous before hand but they make all the classes fun and engaging. I feel stronger and fitter. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I Highly recommend Movement Pilates to anyone wanting to do Pilates , all the instructions are really knowledgeable and professional, and the classes are challenging yet fun. Keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Movement Pilates enough! It’s been amazing for me to be able to work out in such a positive, friendly and welcoming environment with knowledgeable instructors who are always trying to help motivate to do your best. They offer a range of options with class sizes but even in their larger group classes they are still providing you with what feels like one on one services. The Movement studio has helped me get into exercise again after a few long years of struggling to find the right environment and form of exercise that an enjoy. Thank you ☺️

Fantastic experience: TLDR; Do it, it is worth every penny! This is a kind of place where it is so good that you want it to be kept secret. So it took a long while for me to write up the review but they deserve all the good review and rave of the world - I don't think 5 stars can do the justice for this place. When I started my very first class here, I was a tired, 6 month postpartum mom who worried about her lost core and pelvic strength. That sleep deprived mom made one of the best decisions not only to just pull herself out of a constant lack of energy and feeling blue, but to find herself again and see the joy and beauty of the world again! All instructors who work at this studio is unbelievably supportive and bubbly. They will brighten up your day instantly. No matter what level of fitness you are, there will be something that is challenging for you in an environment that's calm and inviting. I can't be more thankful to Shan especially. She has been so kind and accommodating my circumstances so that I could keep going on my pilates journey. She has a passion and love for pilates which is super infectious, now I can't imagine myself without pilates. And special thanks to Carson and Tash who have been exceptionally lovely and helpful in building my strength back also! In the beginning, I was a bit worried about how expensive it looked - but in the end, I have no single regret in me that I went for it. Do it, trust me, this will change your life positively!

Fantastic experience: It is a Professional, friendly and clean place to be fit. Highly recommend. All of the instructors are nice.

Fantastic experience: Best value for time workout targeting all muscle groups. All the instructors are absolutely wonderful and classes are suited to people of all different shapes/sizes and fitness abilities.

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio! Never done Pilates and now I want to keep going back. Great workout, clean environment and friendly/knowledgeable coaches. Very uplifting class.

Fantastic experience: If youve ever wanted to give Reformer Pilates a go, this is the safe space you never knew you needed. Shan and her amazing team of instructors make you feel at ease, while also giving you a challenging workout, all at your own pace and level in small and personal classes. The $85 intro offer is a great way to start your reformer pilates journey/addiction

Fantastic experience: Such a great addition to my life. Incredible team, interesting classes and a great timetable. Definitely having a positive impact on my health & wellbeing thanks Movement team ❤️

Fantastic experience: Could not rate Movement Pilates higher. I have been going for the past couple of months and have really noticed changes to my form and strength. The teachers are all very different and offer a new challenge in every class.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful studio! All the teachers are excellent and every class is different and challenging. Highly recommend giving it a go, irrespective of your experience - you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving my classes at Movement Pilates. Love the small classes and motivation from the instructors. Always welcoming and leave feeling amazing!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing yoga/Pilates for over 15 years and Shannon’s classes are by far the best I’ve ever been to!! Highly recommend for a full body work out and a few laughs.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Movement Pilates a couple of months ago out of curiosity and did not realise how much I would love it ! The team are so lovely, helpful and very accomodating to my injuries making it easier to train again! The studio is gorgeous and is always so welcoming. Would definitely recommend giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: The best reformer Pilates studio! The classes are fun, diverse and challenging. The instructors get to know you; and always encourage you to push yourself. I was going to a gym for years, but I have noticed more strength and flexibility from these classes in a much shorter time!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Movement Pilates 3x week for the past 2 years solid!! I can honestly say that Shannon and the team are the best in Auckland. I’ve tried a few other studios but when I tried Movement I felt like I belonged and was hooked right away! Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. They are all about inclusivity and having fun while moving your body and they cater to all levels. 10/10 highly recommend. You won’t find better! Shout out to Shan, Tash, Gemma and Carson! Love your work team, keep it up

Fantastic experience: I love Shannon & the team at Movement Pilates. I’ve been coming for a few years now since I moved into the area. I would highly recommend attending any of the classes as all of the teachers are AMAZING & they work to each persons level.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for almost a year. Have practiced Pilates for years; didn’t think I would enjoy working out on a machine but gave the intro pack a go. The Allegra 2 is gentle, you go at your own pace and it’s a targeted workout. Awesome teachers who are super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Shannon’s classes

Fantastic experience: A fantastic find for Pilates classes in a central location. Instructors are very professional and top-notch, the attendees are a lovely crowd and the environment is clean and cosy. I absolutely recommend it!

Fantastic experience: A friendly and inclusive studio with small classes and staff that make everyone feel welcome and looked after. The small class sizes mean you get personal attention if required or if you have an injury that needs to be catered for. Plenty of class options so no excuse not to go! Instructors keep every class fresh and new so you won’t get bored and plenty of options to cater for all levels. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Fantastic experience: The Movement Pilates studio has been a wonderful welcoming space to learn how to use the reformer and all of the instructors are excellent! I have felt less stiff, more flexible and all round stronger in my body over my time at Movement. I would recommend Movement to everyone for reformer pilates classes - one of the best studios in Auckland.

Fantastic experience: Movement is in my opinion the best Pilates studio! I have been to lots of other studios, but nothing compares to the teachers, facilities and community at movement. I have been coming here about 3 years and am still learning new things, still getting stronger and still enjoying it!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to classes regularly for 4 months now, and feel so much better. Shannon and the team always provide enough of a challenge to keep me progressing while also provide the care and support to enable me to push myself. Best studio I’ve ever been too. Thank you team.

Fantastic experience: Love the team at Movement Pilates. I’ve been going regularly for 4 months and it’s now home. I had never done reformer before I’d given their intro pack a go. They cater to every experience level so if you’ve been curious, don’t hesitate to give them a try.

Fantastic experience: a friend and i attended one of Shan’s classes and we both loved it i really enjoyed the style and flow, i felt so energised after. i really appreciated how lovely Shan was and welcomed she made me feel. definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been going to this studio for the past 6 months, enjoyed my classes every time. Different teacher has different style, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for postnatal recovery as well.

Fantastic experience: Love Movement Pilates! Fun, supportive , exvellent machines and equipment. Small classes mean you get the right technique. Its always a great workout. I've been attending since it opened and I love my twice weekly classes. You can always add on and keep xhallengjng yourself. Shan and the team are fantastic trainers!

Fantastic experience: Best Pilates studio! The experience is really personalised even in group settings, the workouts are fun and the team are so friendly and genuinely care. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Movement since Feb 2021 three times a week. I'm hooked! I absolutely love pilates. The Movement team offer a diverse and challenging workout every single time. There are so many options for intensity during each class-- meaning that pilates is suitable for everyone. I am so (so!) much stronger than when I first started. It's super satisfying noticing real differences in strength and endurance ability. Pilates is one of the few places where I can switch off and focus solely on being present/doing the task at hand. Honestly, I could go on and on about it! If you're thinking about giving pilates ago in a welcoming environment, this is the place for you. Beginner classes typically have a range of ages, ability, injury recovery, pre and post-natal clients and so on. You can take exercise at your own pace. Every instructor is positive and responsive to individual needs. If you are looking for an achievable yet challenging workout + a bit of clarity, give it a go. 5 stars for sure. Thank you Movement! <3

Fantastic experience: I started my first reformer at Movement Pilates and love it now. The team are lovely, encouraging and genuinely caring. I feel so great after every class. I highly recommend this studio, especially if you are new to Pilates or interested in using a reformer.

Fantastic experience: As a notorious 'give it a go and give up' kind of person, I completely expected to quit after a couple months (my previous record)! Nearly three years in and I am still hooked with Movement Pilates! I attend 2 to 3 times each week, and if I can't go I now miss it terribly (so does my body). I cannot recommend Shannon and her team of professional, fun, relaxed and more importantly motivating instructors. If you have been wanting to give Reformer Pilates a go, or are looking for a new studio, don't think twice - Movement Pilates is AMAZING!!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure to attend a class at Movement Pilates while traveling to Auckland. The studio is so beautiful and clean, there are plenty of props to make the classes fun and challenging if you want to take it to the next level. Shannon is an amazing instructor who is just so vibrant and friendly. A class with Movement is definitely a getaway you need to focus on yourself in your busy daily schedule!

Fantastic experience: Have just started at Movement Pilates in Ellerslie. All the instructors have been SO welcoming, checking in to see how I'm doing. Giving advice. The classes are excellent, the facilities are lovely and the service couldn't be better. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great ambience, very encouraging instructors and awesome workouts! The instructors always give different levels of challenges so you can make the workout as advanced as your body wants on the day. Shannon is lovely and very responsive to email queries, would highly recommend Movement Pilates if you're looking for reformer pilates in Ellersie!

Fantastic experience: After wanting to find something to get my body moving after repetitive back issues, I stumbled upon Movement. After 5 months, I have continued going twice a week and thoroughly enjoy the challenge! The support from the girls has been next level and you can take it all at your own pace. Special shoutout to Gemma who I had my first class with a few months ago and absolutely adored! A massive thank you to Shan, Tash and Bronte for the classes I have had with you girls. Keep up the great work team!

Fantastic experience: Absolutley love this studio. Being a smaller boutique studio means familiar faces and a family feel. The classes always challenge you but have plenty of options catering for all levels.

Fantastic experience: I recently started reformer Pilates and I am hooked! It’s a fun, relaxed environment that feels really positive and the workout is so so good!!! It is the first type of physical class I have done since having a baby, which I was nervous about, but Shannon is sooo lovely and I felt immediately at ease and in good hands. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: A very welcoming studio with knowledgeable instructors who take time to ensure you're getting best workout. If not positioned correctly will tell you. Smaller classes definitely way to go with boutique feel after having also been to larger studios. Movement has the right mix, would be surprised if you were disappointed with class.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors, beautiful facilities and equipment

Fantastic experience: Buti Yoga was such a Fun and uplifting class. Great for all fitness Levels, will definitely be back. A++ Shannon was full of energy and made the class so enjoyable, couldn’t stop laughing/smiling and sweating

Fantastic experience: The instructors are fantastic, they are knowledgable and caring and make you want to do your best. The variety in the reformer workouts is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Carson is a fabulous & knowledgeable yoga teacher! She has a beautiful persona.. She was sooo good with her instructions and had a really calm soft and positive way of communicating. She had this constant mild smile as she gave instruction. Can tell she is really fulfilled. The best Vinyasa class I have ever been to

Fantastic experience: A wonderful studio with excellent equipment. It is very friendly and provides fun, functional classes. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgable staff who go over and above. Amazing space with a relaxed feel. Can't recommend enough :)

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Pilates on and off for years. Sacha is by far the best instructor I've had. I love the variation of our classes and Sacha is super encouraging. She corrects every person with every movement and with only 5 beds you get great attention. I have been so surprised at the change in my body, my core and my strength that I haven't seen before in just a month of 4 classes per week. I have often felt a bit self conscious going to reformer and yoga but there is every type of body and human in the class. I have quickly moved from the begginer classes to the challenging dynamic ones. I leave class feeling really energized!
