Who I help

Busy North Shore professionals, parents and business owners, 'mostly' women aged 30–60, who want to feel stronger and fitter but don’t have hours a day to give to it.

The problem I solve

Most people know they should exercise, but they’re short on time, worried about injury, or have tried gyms that never stuck. They end up stiff, sore, tired and frustrated that nothing fits their life.

My point of difference

Studio Pilates Takapuna runs 40-minute, high-intensity, low-impact reformer classes. They’re tough enough to see results and safe for every body and fitness level. Every class follows a structured, expert-designed program, and our instructors coach each person through it. We’ve been part of the Takapuna community for 9 years and have a 4.9-star rating from more than 349 reviews.

My niche market

Time-poor professionals and women in midlife on Auckland’s North Shore who want results without high-impact training.

Key benefits

Better strength, posture and core stability Less back, neck and joint pain More energy and better mood A workout that fits a lunch break or school run Low impact, so it’s sustainable for the long term A friendly, supportive community instead of an anonymous gym

Problems my clients avoid

Wasting money on gym memberships they never use Injuries from high-impact or poorly coached training Chronic aches from desk work and long days Losing strength and mobility as they age Starting and stopping because they get bored or lose motivation

About

Studio Pilates Takapuna is a reformer Pilates studio on Auckland’s North Shore. It has been part of the local community for 9 years, and I’ve owned and run it since early 2023. We’re part of the Studio Pilates International network, so every class follows a structured, expert-designed program: 40 minutes of high-intensity, low-impact reformer work, suitable for every fitness level. Our instructors are trained to coach each person through it safely, whether they’re new to exercise or already training hard. With a 4.9-star rating from more than 349 reviews, we’re proud to be one of the most trusted fitness options in Takapuna. I bring a background in project management and customer experience to the business, which means a well-run studio and a consistent experience every time.

Why I am a member

I’m a member because I believe strong local businesses grow by supporting each other. I want to build genuine relationships with other North Shore business owners and professionals, share referrals both ways, and find partners for corporate wellness and community initiatives. I also value learning from people who are building businesses of their own. Running a studio is as much about systems, people and growth as it is about Pilates.
