Reform Fitness & Dynamic Reformer Pilates

This one is for all those current and soon to be Reformer Trainers. Driven by feedback, we’ve created, what we consider to be, an easy to follow, non complicated and applicable introduction to Basic Anatomy and Movement.

We’ve filtered out the complexities and shaved down the overwhelming layers of information associated with the human body. This online workshop is designed to help you understand basic anatomy and movement patterns of the body which you can apply to your class planning and create more depth to your practice. Throughout the module we work to apply the learning to the Reformer setting and showcase how you can filter that knowledge into your class cuing.

Shout out to for your input on this one. It was a hoot to work together again. Only took a year 🫣

We’re offering a celebratory discount to the first few buyers. Using the code “anatomy15” you’ll shave off 15%.

ROLLESTON (Christchurch FYI) will have a swishy new Reform studio this Marcril (that’s a new word for March or April). Joining our other two Christchurch studios to make a pretty epic community down south.

Rita, who owns and alongside , who has been one of our standout trainers at our Christchurch CBD studio for 3 years, are teaming up to bring you this rave.

Looking forward to working alongside Pete the Builder again - not sure if the feels are reciprocated. Leave the yappy chewy dog at home Peter.

An inner thigh burn just hits different when you’ve been away from the Reformer for a stint (no matter how I try to phrase that, it’s a little bit off isn’t it).

Tell me there’s another exercise which isolates that inner thigh like it (don’t actually tell me, I can’t be convinced).

Welcoming back that routine with open arms 🙆‍♀️

Brand Partnerships are more than getting free s**t.  But, if I stop pretending, I’ll admit, that is still a real bonus when partnering with a brand.  Only if it’s an epic brand with proper products and a similar ethos to what we’re into.  

Without sounding like Beyonce, we get a few offers.  We choose brands to affiliate with, who we either already wear/use/have experienced their products and/or see the real value in it.  Like if the partnership ended, we’d be sad.  We’d mourn for a few days (then carry on - like a marriage).  

Partnerships are about sharing what you know and what you have experienced from this brand to those who follow along (not like a conventional marriage).  It’s about understanding that brand and their products and working together. Be assured that we try, trust and fly the flag of all our brand partners and are proud to be working alongside them.  We’ve never taken money from partners (s**t’s pretty skint after these holidays so my views may be persuaded) and take full representation across our entire studio and trainer crew - more reviews, more exposure, more fun.

Last year we ran alongside some pretty big names and continue to do so this year.  A shout out to .nz and

It doesn’t end there, we also have had some fun with other big brands who have supported a number of our events and turn up to our classes .storenz

Our Auckland gang is growing. Onehunga will be your next hot spot for Reformer Pilates 🙌🏽

Growing up, long trips to Auckland were defined by long shopping stints at Dress Smart (ok revolutionary moment just now, for +20 years I’ve thought it was “Dress Mart”. I’ll process that later). And while “Dress Smart” is still there, we’re adding Reform to the Onehunga map.

We have a head team of 3 taking the reins for this studio which means all fights and decisions will be a 2 v 1 situation which makes running a business that much cleaner. welcome to the crew.

Follow for all progress, opening specials and fun things.

Today marks a day of mourning for lots of us. The return to work. Some of us are still enjoying the sun behind a book, others are forced to take leave to fulfil legal requirements for offspring, but today, we stand together to salute those returning to work 🫡.

It also marks the return to full timetables for the majority of our studios - with some even adding classes to relieve waitlists (aren’t we all excited to get stuck back in).

2024 is proving to be a frisky little one already, with lots of full classes, lots of “green stars” (new clients) and of course a few new location drops coming your way.

Go well everybody.

I absolutely flopped on the 2023 wrap up posts and chats. I’ll pretend I was “off the grid” having a social media break because that is trend. But really I was scrolling this s**t aimlessly, probably more so than usual (because rain), while the not so faint noise of our kids punished my ear drums and I smashed another Cadbury Favourite IN.MY.FACE.

Anyhu 2023 - lunge lunge, core, countdowns, good tunes, new studios, old studios, new trainers, old trainers, reels, posts, choreographed reformer moves which take way longer than they should, empty promises (online classes 😂), unexpected achievements (I can’t actually think of any right now but that just seemed to flow), epic partnerships with some pretty litty brands ( .nz ), fun.

2024 starts with our annual NY Deal - check your local studio for these details. These are limited so rattle your dags if you want one. Read the terms and conditions. If your eye site is hazy right now, get your pal to read them to you.

Coming at you 2024 with our talented Reform Team.

Put down the ham and pull back your hair - studios reopen tomorrow for a short and sweet stint before the NY break 🤙🏽

Twas the week before Christmas,
And everyone was emotionally dead.
The kids have finished school,
And won’t go the fu to bed.

Classes are full,
And waitlists are rammed.
But there’s still some who DNA,
Which feels just like a scam.

This time of the year does get hectic,
But do try to remember,
To remove yourself from class,
If you have a Christmas bender 🥂🍻

It’s giveaway time but hold your fingertips and read the instructions..

Each of our studios, that’s all 15, are teaming up with our pals to give away one of these Christmas hand wash bundles with a block of 5 classes. But wait, there’s more. It’s for you and a friend. Don’t start tagging yet, stay focused and read the next bit.

To enter, go to your local studio’s page and tag your mate there. If you’ve managed to get this far through the year and not offend or significantly cull your friends group, then you can tag all of your friends. If you’re smart, and this is what I’d do, you can jump on multiple studios and tag your buddies to increase your odds. Do not tag anyone in this post to win you hear? Don’t panic if your local studio hasn’t got their post up yet, it’s coming this week!

This year we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with .

Through our & Reform community classes we’ve been able to reward just a small portion of our many valued clients.

This lady here though wins the photo competition and will take centre stage on our “Residents of Reform” podium which was an initiative we started this year which died quite quickly because I only like playing favourites when it comes to my kids. But we’re back. Anyway, I messaged Taylor because this woman represents the studio and here’s what she said….

Her name is Martha. She’s honestly the best. You always ask who she is when I put up a photo or video of her 😂

She rows a lot, always turns up to class having done a session on the water or the erg in the gym. She loves to sing to the music in class, loves a chat, she has the best banter. Full American with the accent and all, her daughter introduced her to reformer Pilates and they both come regularly. She’s 67 years old and blows some of us younger people out of the park. Great form, loves a challenge, attends intermediates. She’s just honestly the best!

Martha - you’ve got yourself a $150 voucher from us. Seems only fair to share it with your daughter but I’ll leave that up to you.

Reform Wanaka we are coming in hot and probably a little bit sideways next year.

This one has been bubbling for a while and has been worth the wait to secure a mint spot and a pretty amazing studio owner. .lecompte welcome onboard.

Follow to stay up to date with rennos, transformations, opening specials and opening dates.

We are recruiting for our Wanaka studio so if this sounds like a bit of you, get in touch with us. We are hosting a Module 1 Reformer Training in Queenstown at the end of Jan so get amongst this.

We’ve got you sorted for Christmas. A gift to yourself, your friend, your lover, your hater, your Secret Santa gift which you always just aim to win back (if you play the stealing game).

Purchase online or get a cute gift card to put under the tree. Contact your local studio (or that of your gift recipient).

As promised, albeit a little late, we have just released the dates for the first 6 months of our Module 1 Reformer Instructor courses for 2024.

2023 was such a moment for us. We finished up the final 2023 intake last week and reflected on the amount of people we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and sharing some of our knowledge with.

We’ve watched those who have joined our Reform studios, those who have joined other studios, those who have integrated it into their other professions such as physios, personal trainers and osteopaths. We’ve also helped integrate Reformer into a gym or two in Australia this year.

Module 1 is usually the first step in a hike to learn the Reformer craft. Our job is to teach you how to use the reformer, provide you with a bible of the core fundamental exercises with common regressions and progressions. We don’t focus on the way we do things in our studios (that comes later if you take the leap with us) but more so encourage you to do things a way that resonates with you. Individuality allows consumer options after all.

Thanks to everyone who has been in one of our intakes this year (and any previous year) and for your feedback, vibes and making what we do a hoot and a privilege.

Special mention to and who joined Lane and I as facilitators (probably sounds more important than it is) this year. Finding people who do s**t better than you is a business dream - think we might have nailed that with you both. We won’t ask the people to vote because shamies if I loose by lots.

Anyway, who’s up for 2024??

📸 a fine example of module 1 success.

& trainers put through their paces on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I give you all 5 stars. It was a pleasure 🤌🏼

Weekend workout focus. Do it once, do it well and enjoy the rest of the day.

Have a day off . Have a day off. Roll out of bed, forget to brush your teeth, mis match your outfit, have your pony slightly to the side, smile only with your mouth, not your eyes too, (kinda like a grimace). Make us all feel a bit better about ourselves for 30 seconds. But you better still take a banging class of course. It’s possible, I do it most days.

GUMBOOT FRIDAY👇🏽

For those of you who don’t know about Gumboot Friday, you should.  But allow me.  

Gumboot Friday is an initiative set up to assist in ensuring our youth have access to mental health support.

The statistics of youth su***de in NZ is crippling and easy to ignore perhaps, if you’re not directly affected.  However, if you cast your eyes over the current statistics, one can almost assume that most of us will have a more direct association with youth depression and possibly su***de.  

What can we do? We can support Gumboot Friday.  Easy.

Reform will be putting on clon November 3rd (Gumboot Friday) across all of our studios.  It’s $23 to get a spot in these classes with ALL proceeds going towards the cause.  Spots are limited so if you miss out, or are unable to attend on that date/time feel free to show your support directly at gumbootfriday.org.nz.

What can you do? Book one of our Gumboot Friday classes. Easy. Check your studio timetable for Friday 03 November.  Purchase the “Gumboot Friday” charity class + price option and get onboard.

We also have an epic giveaway with our partners .nz so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Get behind this one people.

Cheers to the long weekend.

That “I just took my partner to class for the first time because he thinks I go to Reform just to get out of folding the washing” look

That “I just brought my partner to class for the first time because he always thinks I go to Reform to get out of folding the washing” look.

Capturing the extremely small pockets of sunshine we were graced with this week at our beaut studio.

This time last week we got to host our first .nz community class at . This initiative is about celebrating our real clients. Those who are committed and been with us for the ride. Hydroflask gifted each of the gang with a limited edition tumbler and we filled it with a smoothie from a local hub.

This is my 9am Friday crew (missing noted). They’re getting harder to control as the years go by.

you’re up next 👀

We have co-branded bottles available for pre-sale at all of our studios. These are the business and we’re bloody lucky to have .nz provide all of our trainers with one to keep their pallet moist whilst teaching because it sure is thirsty work.

Fancy one? Maybe a Christmas present for someone you give a hoot about. They come with your initials on them so there’s no mistaking who’s bottle belongs to who. They also come with “Reform” on them so there’s no mistaking where you go for your reformer pilates fix.

$115 - a price which will make sure your bottle doesn’t end up in our lost property. Order in your studio for pre-Christmas delivery.

Punching another week in the face and sliding on into the weekend.

Make your weekend better by booking a class if you haven’t already 🥂
