Turning Tide Pilates Studio — Attraction in Whau

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...

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...

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...
