🌟 WELCOME KELLY 🌟 We are over the moon to welcome this beautiful human to the Movement Team!

Kelly discovered the magic of Pilates following bariatric surgery in 2021. As part of her recovery she wondered into a Reformer studio & was instantly hooked! After 18 months of classes she did her .education teacher training & has loved teaching mat & reformer ever since. Kelly also works as an Anesthetic Technician at the hospital - busy lady! A couple of questions for Kelly 🎤

✨What can we expect from your classes?
I love to challenge co-ordination (especially during the warmup) & expect to get a a little sweaty! I promise interesting music & terrible one liners, but most importantly - I will empower you to listen to your body… take what movement feels good and leave the rest behind.

✨ What else do you love to do?
I live in the North Waikato with my husband, 4 children, & 2 dogs. I love hill walking (Mt William is our local wee summit), the odd bit of baking, but mostly I just love to drink coffee & do Pilates 🤍

You can move with Kelly Wednesday evenings, she can’t wait to meet you all! 💪

End the stressy work week & feel AMAZING with a stretchy, feel-good Reformer flow with the newest addition to our teaching team, Kaitlin (Bio to come soon... spoiler alert, she is AWESOME!).

I’ve always had an interest in native flora & fauna 🌸 If you find me in the bush, you’ll find I’m that insufferable person on the trail identifying whatever bird flies overhead!

This awesome human joined the team in October & we are STOKED! Eszter runs her own boutique Yoga & Pilates studio up in Waipu but makes the trip down every other Sunday to share her fun & upbeat classes here at Movement 😍 Read on to learn more about Eszter

✨What can we expect from your classes?
I’m here to make sure you have a great time falling in love with the reformer the same way I did! My sessions will be like having a new crush: heart-rate reaching new heights, rosy cheeks & glistening looks, questioning if you’re the only one feeling the burn within, but so glad you have put yourself out there! 😉

✨ A fun fact about yourself
In 2014, I did a solo-cycle trip in the USA through Arizona & Southern Utah (yes, silly me picked the states in the middle of the desert...) It was a 2 week long trip, 1000 km through the states of the Grand Canyon & the second driest one. This shows you my dedication and possibly questionable level of sanity for working the body to its limits...! We’ll have fun! 🤩

Do you love Reformer Pilates but can’t make it to the studio as much as you’d like? Or perhaps you’re doing your Pilates Teacher Training?

We’ve got the solution for you! This beautiful reformer is available for hire 🙌

Getting grippy with it 😁

Friendly reminder that grip socks must be worn during our classes 🧦
1. Safety first people! ⛑ Grippies help your feet stick where they need to stick - carriage, footbar, floor and box - no one wants to pull a groin mid sumo squat (IYKYK)
2. Toe germs 🦠 Pretty self explanatory here... let's keep the sweaty feet away from the loops and footbar (where your hands also go)
3. They look cool 😎

We have a full range of socks at the studio for $25 -cash or bank transfer.
