pilatesFIT Boutique — Local services in Upper Harbour

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.

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...

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...
