Thrive Pilates Petone

Highly recommend Thrive Pilates! Such a beautiful, light and airy studio with friendly and engaging instructors. When I first started at Thrive I had never been on a reformer machine before but I was surprised at how quickly I felt comfortable, building up strength and confidence. The team with an abundance of care and knowledge structure each class to work with every body and skill level in studio - making the classes easy to follow, a great work out and lots of fun!

I have thoroughly enjoyed classes at Thrive Petone. As a physio, I was really impressed with the care taken to adapt classes according to the needs of all the people in the room - including being aware of the areas I was keen to work on and my previous sports injuries. The instructors clearly have an in-depth knowledge of the technical principles behind what they are teaching and are able to apply this at a level that is challenging and fun! So great to have this excellent new studio in Petone!

I started beginner’s classes more than a year ago and moved to intermediate after a few months. I felt so strong in my body and mind. Absolutely loved my classes with Fiona and Holly.I then got pregnant and did a few rounds of Pilates for pregnancy with Brittany. It was incredible, it gave me strength in my arms and core and I also built strong relationships with the future moms in the class.I can’t wait to go back to the studio and get my body back in shape!

I have been going to Thrive Pilates - Petone for about five months or so now, a few times a week, and I love it every time I have gone! My body feels great after, stretched and refreshed. All the instructors I have had, have been kind and good with instructions through each step. To add about one instructor in particular - Fi is beyond amazing, very in-tune with everyone's abilities.

Could not recommend reformer Pilates classes at Thrive more! Teachers are kind and knowledgeable, the studio is calming and peaceful and the classes are never the same which always keeps thing interesting.In particular I loved the pregnancy Pilates classes and mums & bubs classes postpartum. I was able to prepare my core and pelvic floor well for birth and it’s been a game changer for recovery. I also met other first time mums in the pregnancy classes and thanks to the community facilitated by Thrive, have become firm friends with many of them. Highly recommend Thrive Pilates if you’re looking for a great workout, healing from an injury or pregnant and looking for supportive movement.

Fiona and the team at Thrive Pilates Petone are exactly the kind of teachers you want for pilates. They make sure every exercise is tailored for you and are ensuring you get the best out of every workout.The studio is exceptional and welcoming, a great environment.Highly recommended for every level, from beginner to advanced.

Highly recommend the beautiful studio at Thrive Petone for both their prenatal and postpartum mums & bubs Pilates classes. As a newbie to reformer Pilates when pregnant, I was seeking a safe and supportive environment for exercise - Thrive delivered!The instructors tailor the classes for mums to be and new mums with expertise and I appreciated the clear feedback from them to ensure I was getting the most out of my work out. With small classes it’s easy to get to know other mums and I’ve loved the budding friendships that I’ve made there.

Keen on an encouraging, inviting and enjoyable workout without having to get down and dirty at the gym? So was I! - No, but really.. I was keen on a workout that would be enjoyable, varied in levels, and relaxing. Classes are under 50 minutes, small groups, and the instructors are fabulous. Great environment, 10/10 recommend. I'm looking forward to further classes.

I can’t recommend Thrive Petone highly enough! After only a few sessions I felt stronger, my back pain had gone and I was standing taller. The instructors are fun and supportive, and the sessions are challenging but doable. It’s the first time I’ve ever actually enjoyed exercise :-)
