Vivre Pilates

Located in the heart of Mount Albert, Auckland, Vivre Pilates Studio offers a sanctuary for movement and mindfulness, recently relocated from West Auckland to a bright, spacious new venue. The studio is dedicated to teaching the original Pilates Method as developed by Joseph H. Pilates, utilizing high-quality, authentic apparatus designed by the founder to ensure students experience the practice exactly as intended. The environment is designed to be welcoming, with ample natural light and free parking available outside.

At the helm is Frederique "Fred" Masson, a Romona Pilates certified instructor with a rich background in nursing, massage therapy, and sports nutrition. Having taught since 2009, Fred combines her deep understanding of human anatomy and health with her passion for Pilates. Her mission is to help clients not only improve their physical strength, posture, and flexibility but also to develop a greater awareness of their bodies, integrating the discipline of Pilates into their daily lives.

Vivre Pilates caters to everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or gender. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and abilities, ensuring that every client receives personalized attention. The studio offers a variety of formats to suit different preferences and budgets:

• Private Sessions: Ideal for focused, individualized work on all apparatus, helping clients connect with the correct muscles and build a strong foundation. The private sessions begin at $80 per session with bulk package discounts available.
• Shared Sessions: A cost-effective option for two or three people to practice together with personalized guidance. Prices start from $50 per person in multi-session packages.
• Mat Classes: Group classes limited to 15 participants, focusing on choreography that enhances stretch, strength, and control. These offer an affordable way to enjoy the full benefits of the Method with regular attendance.
• Discovery Package: A great introduction for newcomers, offering four private sessions at a discounted rate to explore the equipment and the method thoroughly.

The Pilates method at Vivre is built on six core principles: concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision, and flow. By engaging the "Powerhouse" or core, these movements strengthen and stretch all muscle groups with control, leading to improved stamina, balance, coordination, and self-confidence, while also reducing stress. Whether you are looking to recover from an injury, enhance athletic performance, or simply maintain well-being, Vivre Pilates provides the tools and expertise to help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I love Vivre Pilates! Both Fred and Christine are great. They are attentive and make sure you are doing positions safely. I have developed great core strength since starting pilates with them and my back pain has improved significantly. I was complimented on my posture recently which is a first for me!
