The Pilates Workshop is a well-established gymnastics centre located in Auckland, New Zealand. Offering a wide range of Pilates classes for all ages and fitness levels, the centre is dedicated to promoting health and well-being through mindful movement.
When attending a class at The Pilates Workshop, participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing that allows for freedom of movement. Baggy garments should be avoided as it is important for instructors to be able to observe the movement of the body. Additionally, participants are required to bring their own mat to lie on during the class, as well as a small flat pillow and a drink for hydration. Any type of mat, from a yoga mat to a camping mat, is suitable for use.
However, airbeds are not recommended. For those attending a Swiss Ball Class, a Swiss Ball should be brought along.
The Pilates Workshop operates at four different locations in Auckland, providing flexibility and convenience for its members. These locations include Whitford Hall on 1 Whitford-Maraetai Rd, Ultimate Physio on 739 Chapel Road in Dannemora, The Recreation Centre on 563 Pakuranga Rd in Howick, and All Saints Hall at the top of Cook Street in Howick. However, it is important to note that all classes have been temporarily relocated to the old police station on Moore Street while Uxbridge, the creative centre in Howick, undergoes renovations. Classes held at Uxbridge, apart from the Men's class, require a booking through Uxbridge Creative Centre.
Juliet Lloyd, a highly experienced Pilates Mat and Studio Teacher, founded The Pilates Workshop in 2003. Juliet's journey into Pilates began when she sought relief from chronic back pain after the birth of her twins. Having excelled in athletics and dancing from a young age, and with a natural talent for acrobatics and contortion, Juliet discovered the transformative power of Pilates in restoring her body's strength and freedom of movement. Inspired by her own experience, she trained with Body Control Pilates in Covent Garden, London, and has been teaching Pilates in New Zealand for over 12 years.
Clients of The Pilates Workshop have spoken highly of Juliet's teaching abilities and the effectiveness of her classes. One client, Mandy Heim, praised the importance of core control and correct posture that she learned through Pilates. Another long-term client, Jo, expressed her dedication to Juliet's classes for over a decade, emphasising the benefits of inner core strength, body toning, and pain relief for her lower back.
