Turning Tide Pilates Studio

Fantastic experience: Seeking assisted strength training to help with a weak and injured back, I found Turning Tide’s Pilates routines to be extremely effective. All of the trainers were of high expertise and offered alternatives immediately if there was any discomfort. Having smaller classes made it feel like you had your own PT. Highly recommend for prevention, recovery or maintenance. Thanks for my lovely calve muscles and toned arms too!

Fantastic experience: Hold onto your hats it's a long one! I am going to attempt to convey my appreciation of Sues exceptional talent, knowledge, care and empathy. I came to Sue not as someone looking to just get in shape but utterly desperate, quite frankly traumatised by pain. Fragile both physically and mentally on the road that leads up to major spinal surgery. To say that I was scared of moving my body due to the extreme pain even the most basic movement caused is an understatement. However, I knew that for the best chance of a successful outcome from the surgery I needed to try and strengthen some seriously depleted muscles. Right from the first one on one session Sue got it. She actually understood what I could and couldn't do. She handled me with sensitivity and professionalism. She alway had a way of being able to achieve targeting the muscle group needed but without casing anymore pain! Quite honestly, Sue has been my saviour. We worked together pre and post op and I'm quite sure I would not have received the praise of my surgeon using the words "startling recovery" had it not been for Sue. I can't recommend her enough. Not just for those looking to tone but for those who arrive a little battle weary after years of suffering. Thank you for always making me feel safe and now even better, getting my life back! If you want someone at the top of their field, you have found her. Thank you Sue! Kelly x

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoy the pilates classes with Sue and Andrea at Turning Tide Pilates Studio having started in the last 12 months. The personal guidance and teaching have resulted in my gaining strength and knowledge of the exercises. The studio fosters a strong sense of community which is encouraging of all who come to classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Turning Tide Pilates for more than a year. When I started I had chronic and severe back pain, that was constraining my movement and quality of life. However, Andrea and Sue have nursed me through it and now (if I keep with their programme) I am largely pain free - I have become a Turning Tide evangelist, I only wish I had found the team earlier.

Fantastic experience: By far the best pilates studio in Auckland if not the world. Sue&Andrea are highly skilled teachers with endless enthusiasm. Top- class reformers and equipment in a serene and beautiful environment. I look forward to my class each week.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Turning Tide Pilates highly enough led by the phenomenal instructors - Sue and Andrea. It's taken me decades to finally find an exercise activity that places my personal journey of physical well-being at the core of every class. Sue and Andrea have created a Pilates studio where you feel at home instantly, there is no judgement, just a warm welcome and their dedication to helping you. The aches and pains that have dogged me for years have gone, my core strength is improving as well as my flexibility. I wish I had discovered Turning Tide years ago!

Fantastic experience: Sue and Andrea are super knowledgeable and so passionate about helping each and every client with their unique needs. The pilates studio in Titirangi is beautiful and clean and the reformer equipment is always in great condition. I always feel well looked after and cared for here.

Fantastic experience: I attended online restorative pilates and Gyrokenesis classes with Sue and Andrea during lockdown. I found their teaching style easy to follow and the classes enjoyable. I feel I really benefited from the extra movement the classes brought to my days. The Gyrokenisis classes with Sue are highly recommended, I loved this unique flowing style of movement.

Fantastic experience: As a pilates teacher myself, I find Andrea and Sue are both very friendly and teach with a lovely personable manner. I have really enjoyed their movement and pilates classes encompassing all the different methods they have been trained in. Always look forward to their classes!

Fantastic experience: I am 48 and reasonably fit and strong but after being hospitalised for a chronic back spasm I was desperate and my partner recommended Turning Tides Pilates. Honestly I was sceptical but with Sue's care and expertise I am now pain free. Classes are small so you get almost one to one attention. Initially Sue tailored a programme to suit my limitations and then step by step extended my classes and I am now experiencing significantly improved strength and flexibility. I recommend Pilates and in particular Sue and Andrea at Turning Tides to anyone who wants a personalised programme to suit their specific needs and goals.

Fantastic experience: For a number of years I have considered taking pilates classes but just never got around to it until a friend introduced me to Sue at Turning Tide Pilates. I wish I had have started years ago. With Sue's patient and calming instruction I have been able to rid myself of 18 years of back pain! My posture and overall strength has improved too. Amazing results and 100% worth it. Thanks Sue!!

Fantastic experience: Turning Tide Pilates occupies a lovely light filled space, this along with Sue's teaching expertise in the complete range of Pilates studio apparatus makes for a great movement experience. I've been attending Sue's studio classes weekly for 2 years now for my own Pilates practise and thoroughly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Sue has been mine and my husbands Pilates instructor for 2 years. Sue has basically helped me strengthen my spine and surrounding muscles from the tailbone up in a way that has made it safe and injury free for me (I had a back injury when I was in my teens). I have never stuck at one type of exercise for so long and so consistently. Sue is caring and honours the integrity of quality Pilates instruction. I am so much stronger and more flexible. Thank you Sue for bringing your studio to West Auckland.
