I have been a Pilates instructor for over 9 years and a group fitness instructor and personal trainer for over 15 years.  I have seen the popularity of pilates grow and grow and marveled at the wide variety of pilates styles, equipment, brand names, training providers.  I love pilates and what it has done for me personally and my clients too – I use the pilates principles in everything I teach – whatever the workout – even Battle Ropes and HIIT.

Whilst researching for a current marketing campaign I came across a vast amount of pilates studios spread throughout New Zealand – all claiming to be the very best, the most traditional, remaining with the true teachings of Pilates , many offering their own training course for instructors – but they all had the same thing in common – they all offered the same exercises completed on the same style of equipment…..

Well I have found something different and really, really good – it’s still pilates but it’s fresh and clients love it – it also works with biomechanical physiology and functional movement patterns.  I am not a traditionalist, I like to be different and stand out from the crowd – whilst traditional pilates studios in my area have either failed or are struggling to get regular clients and full classes – my studio has waiting lists……

Testimony from GRAVITY Pilates Evolved clients

Stephanie Williams, Orewa, Auckland says…

“These are amazing (Total Gym units).  I am such an advocate of using these! Following some recent surgery on my torso (kidney) which has meant all the muscle I have built as a direct result from the GTS has seriously helped my recovery and mobility! Thanks Kerry for introducing me to the amazing value of GTS units and pilates. You rock!”

Andrea McFarlane, Red Beach, Auckland (suffers with osteoarthritis of the hips)…
