All Testimonials

Lauren

Ponsonby

I started Pilates on the recommendation from multiple Physiotherapists to help strengthen my core after years of significant lower back pain. Whilst I ended up having spinal surgery, I found Pilates and more specifically Helen, to be essential both pre and post-surgery. The level of support and professionalism that Helen has provided has been crucial to my recovery and ongoing strength training, while in a fun environment. I’ll definitely be continuing Pilates to help avoid any future surgery!

Tim

True Pilates have helped me regain a more pain free and mobile body. I’m doing activities I thought I’d not be able to do again. The studio is very well equipped, the environment relaxed, instructors are well trained and knowledgeable and if you get your timings right, the sun streams in through the bay windows while on the reformer. A special thanks to Rose for finding my weaknesses, and building the strength needed to overcome my injuries.

Emma

Auckland

I have only been doing Pilates for a couple of months and I can already feel the long term benefits. My strength has improved considerably and my flexibility is better than I thought possible. I can highly recommend True Pilates, the instructors are fantastic and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Jo

Auckland

I’ve found Pilates to be an essential part of my life thanks to True Pilates. After years of back pain and alignment issues Pilates has helped my body change, strengthen and I am now more conscious of how my body should work, alleviating years of poor body balance. The team at True Pilates have always been super welcoming and attentive, ensuring classes are challenging, appropriate to my needs and fun! Thanks to my instructor Rose and the whole team at True Pilates… I am fitter and stronger today then I have ever been.
