pilatesFIT Boutique

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I have struggled my whole life to find exercise that I enjoy enough to do regularly. Finally, I found a place that I look forward to going to almost every second day, where exercise is fun, but also hard and sweaty. From the very first session, it felt like I was among friends, and two years later, I can't get enough. You can choose the class that suits your level of fitness, and instructors also give you easier and more difficult options for each exercise. I love the variety; you never know what you are walking into or what's next. If you haven't tried pilatesFIT - give it a go, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful space. love the music, lighting and setup. Location is great just wish there was an area available for waiting apart from outside.

Fantastic experience: I have been part of the PFIT Community for a little over 18 months and if I could give 10 stars, I would; why? Recently, a friend convinced me to come and try a new studio with them; I love Pilates so, thought why not! I am currently a week or so in to the 2-week trial and boy, this new place is not for me. On reflection, it is not the work out, but, everything else that comes with the PFIT community. So, rather than leaving a poor review for this new studio, because my preferences don’t align; I thought I would take the opportunity to leave a review to the place that keeps me coming back, day after day, week after week. Chelsea, Emily, Sarah, thank you for greeting us when we arrive, encouraging us to show up for ourselves, checking in on our injuries, for creating an environment that is fun and friendly (dance moves and laughter included), the energy that you bring, the well thought out workouts, the banggggggn beats and last but not least, the extra springs when YOU KNOW WE CAN DO MORE. I hope we fill your cup as much as you fill ours. If you are reading this and cannot bear the thought of another attack class or run around the block; take this as your sign to come and give it a go. You WILL have fun, you CAN do it and you certainly WON’T regret it. See ya’ll in a few days!

Fantastic experience: Chels has built PilatesFIT up from the very bottom! I remember doing classes out of her small lounge in Albany, and my goodness she has come a LONG way since then. I’m not gonna sit here and say these classes are easy peasy, she will push you & really get your body moving. But you will always leave feeling like you’ve had a killer workout, and a mood boost (she’s got the best vibes). And if you want to really challenge yourself, she will also support you in that! Thank you for being your amazing self Chels✨

Fantastic experience: Did a session Chelsea. Full body workout was a good intro to pilates. Would go again ✌️

Fantastic experience: Best studio out there - I was so nervous to start Reformer Pilates after years of wanting to give it a go and I couldn’t have felt more welcome, supported and comfortable while challenging me to keep pushing my body! The wonderful ladies at pilatesFIT are helping me achieve my goals while having the absolute best time ✨ If you are considering giving it a go take this as your sign to take the plunge!

Negative experience: I used to go regularly, and not anymore after a very frustrating experience. I booked for a 9am class, and the class tutor arranged to have no natural light in the room, and turned on only very dim lighting. The class was relying on her verbal instructions as it was hard to see her demonstration in the dark. Even worse, the trainer insisted on having very loud and night club like music so it was basically not possible to hear her instructions. Looking around the room everyone was doing different movements as they also clearly cannot follow or hear exactly what is being said by the tutor. I asked her to adjust the music twice, and she failed to adjust the volume to a meaningful level. I had to leave 10 min into the session as it was no point. I texted the provider afterwards, and received not even the courtesy of any reply. Very unprofessional, and what a waste of time and money.

Fantastic experience: I always have an amazing experience at Pilates fit. It’s an incredible workout and the environment is so motivating and positive. As a mum sometimes working out can be something I would put off but with Pilates fit I am excited to do my workout !. Chelsea has created such a fabulous environment and the best studio I’ve been to.

Fantastic experience: These classes have been one of the highlights of moving to Hobsonville! All of the instructors I have met are super supportive and helpful. Chelsea is lovely and professional, she has created a great space. After a long period of illness and surgery last year I started attending at a point when I was feel my most unfit ever, and in less than a couple of months my fitness has improved soo much. I definitely get a workout that I could not replicate at home ☺️ Plus the reformer is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: INCREDIBLE! The beautiful studio and team are welcoming and supportive with top equipment, excellent trainers and served with the heartiest spirit in the land. My partner and I both sustained completely life course changing injuries as teenagers and have forever been haunted by their presence. We’re talking fused spines, spondylosis (at 13) and fully reconstructed ACL & PCL’s with the knock on breaks and ailments that come with and are ever more noticeable the older we get. Reformer Pilates in particular has utterly changed our ability to exercise without repeated or suprise injury aggravation and we couldn’t be more grateful to the incredible team at pilatesfit boutique. We feel stronger than ever, with muscular engagements and structural movement we’d previously just accepted we could no longer do. Whilst i would encourage anyone with injury, aches or a human body to try a class in general, it is the people that make this place and the journey extra special, and Chelsea and her team are glorious. They support you throughout and beyond class, and it’s assuring to note that if there are things that your body ain’t having a bar of, they’ll tailor options or give alts to movements which they evolve with you alongside your regular practice. Mat side is also great and if you can’t make it to the studio, the online classes are equally fab. Get amongst!And, THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic experience: Very lucky to have this boutique pilates place locally. Incredible classes which are very specialised and the instructors are make personalised and make sure you are challenged. Also a new class called Pilates Pace which is like circuit training, low impact and non stop. Fully recommend!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio (seriously, the attention to detail!) and the loveliest people! Feels like you're getting a personal training session as there's just eight reformers...and Chelsea and all the instructors are just SO good at what they do - encouraging, fun, and an amazing workout no matter your shape or fitness level. Cannot recommend highly enough. Also, the online offering is incredible value and perfect for when you can't make it into the studio.

Negative experience: A friend and I purchased the 4 class trial as we were keen to get into pilates. The space and location is nice and the owner is lovely too! The workouts definitely work! There was unfortunately a downside for me that’s left a bad taste in my mouth. As this was my first time working out in a while, I struggled with parts of the workout - which is completely okay, it happens. What’s not okay is that the trainer chuckled at me during these moments. I thought it was just one of the trainers, but going back for a second class and having it happen again with another trainer was uncool. It really set the tone and ultimately my friend and I decided not to return. I will also say that I don’t really care what strangers think of me so I personally took this with a grain of salt. However, it still doesn’t excuse how unprofessional it was and if you’re a person who is self conscious, nervous or anxious, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: LIFE CHANGING - never have I felt so supported and inspired to become the best version of myself than since I started with Chelsea and her incredible team. It’s the attention to detail that sets this place apart from others. To say the environment is aesthetically pleasing would be an understatement. This studio delivers on top quality equipment, a great location, air conditioning and a team of knowledgeable instructors who genuinely care and thrive on seeing others grow. Injuries -no issues, new to Pilates, no issues- leave all your fears at the door as this team have got your back. It’s like coming home every time I visit.

Fantastic experience: The BEST Pilates Studio EVER! Chelsea and her trainers are all so experienced and amazing at what they do. Have been going here for almost 3 years now, during a pregnancy and post pregnancy too! A fave part of this studio for me is also the MUSIC - gets you right in the mood. Highly highly recommend PilatesFit Boutique!

Fantastic experience: pilatesFIT is an amazing space. Chels is so professional, personable and kind. Chels is very knowledgeable and the best cheerleader. I am so grateful for her ZOOM sessions at the moment - keeping me sane!

Fantastic experience: PilatesFIT Boutique offers a very unique and fun workout! I have noticed a huge difference in tone, strength and flexibility in a short space of time! Thanks Chels! You’re the best x

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable instructors, & a friendly, welcoming space. Beautiful studio with excellent reformer Pilates classes & private sessions.

Fantastic experience: Amazing pilates classes! The studio has the best atmosphere and instructors, you will always get a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Chelsea and Laken's classes at PilatesFIT literally changed my life. I started going to their reformer classes after my first sons birth and throughout my second pregnancy when I felt exhausted, low on energy and motivation. They offer a completely unique offering, the classes are challenging but so much fun. You feel safe in their hands as they are experts who cater to you and your ability, and their subtle adjustments make all the difference. You will feel the burn - gain muscle tone, energy and confidence and defintely have a laugh whilst doing it.

Fantastic experience: Chelsea is an absolute superstar. She is a truly gifted instructor; recognising your limits and knowing exactly when to push you a little bit harder to smash through them. She is highly motivating, knows exactly how to modify movements to cater to injuries/ other physical needs and has created a studio environment that is both beautiful and safe. I found PilatesFIT Boutique in 2016 when I had recently quit smoking, gaining weight as a result and hadn't regularly exercised in a few years. Needless to say I was seriously lacking in confidence and fitness levels and didn't really know where to start with sorting it out! I'd read about how good Reformer Pilates was for sculpting the body whilst still be being low impact. An online search brought up PilatesFIT; I booked a trial class and have never looked back since! If you've been thinking about trying it, I cannot recommend enough that you give it a go for the opportunity to sculpt your body and gain strength you never thought possible. Once through the door, you'll keep coming back for the effective, fun classes and the amazing pFIT community that you'll become a part of.

Fantastic experience: Cannot rate PilatesFit enough! I would give 10 stars if I could. Chelsea and the team are so welcoming, and everyone there is super friendly. The studio is beautiful, modern and clean. The classes - where do you even begin to describe them...you never leave without feeling like your whole body has been worked, and they give plenty of different levels and options to suit each individuals needs!

Fantastic experience: Pilates FIT is awesome. Small classes with lovely, friendly and knowledgeable instructors who help you make sure you're doing everything right. I've being doing the reformer classes for about 18 months and enjoying mat classes via Zoom since lockdown. It's made a huge improvement to my various injuries that would constantly flare up at the gym, plus helped me tone up.

Fantastic experience: Chelsea is amazing. She's warm, kind, understanding, and so genuine. Plus her workouts are next level, and actually fun. The way she stacks exercises up gets results, and I feel like I get great value for money. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to classes at PilatesFit with Chelsea for over 2 years now and I am never disappointed with a class. Chelsea has a way of making everyone feel so comfortable at all levels. No matter how frequently I go, I always feel like I've had a great workout! She really helped me regain my fitness/shape post baby and has a great understanding of how to help mums (even while pregnant). Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to PilatesFIT for over 3 years and it has seriously been life changing! Chelsea and her team have developed their own unique way of teaching. Not only is it ridiculously effective at toning the whole body, building lean muscle and improving posture, it is fun, invigorating and every class feels like you are working out with friends. Chelsea and her team are motivating and hands on for every individual and their needs. They even give advice outside of class and are always reachable. AND they offer online classes! You won't find a Pilates studio like this anywhere else!
