I found Balance Pilates by accident when a friend gifted me a few classes there and it quickly became my home away from home. I felt immediately welcomed by both the staff and the other clients and ended up going to at least 3 classes a week (thank goodness for the weekly unlimited classes package!). The trainers are excellent and encourage you to work hard while being very mindful of injuries that may require special attention. And the studio space itself is amazing. Very peaceful, modern and clean with a stunning view of the Southern Alps (believe me, the fantastic view helps when you’re pushing yourself to get through the exercises ) If you’re looking for a great Pilates studio, this place is top notch!

Hi I absolutely love Balanced Pilates. Since joining I can honestly say I feel stronger, more in tune with my body and on top of age old weaknesses. I look forward to classes with Bronwyn and the team they are a professional and fun mix of challenging exercises and relaxation.. The atmosphere is great and the studio beautiful. Totally recommend to any one of any age. Sarah Coates
After a 2 year journey visiting a never ending trail of clinical practitioners a wise Massage Therapist suggested I try Reformer Pilates as a way to restore better functioning in my shoulder. I visited Balance Pilates for an assessment and introduction to the reformer machines, Bron (pilates tutor) and Michelle (physiotherapist) immediately collaborated to come up with a programme that has helped me resolve problems that other practitioners couldn’t. I invested in a package of 10 private reformer sessions with Bron, her observant feedback and attentive adjustments have been invaluable; Bron’s enthusiasm and friendly personality certainly eased me through some painful and difficult days. Michelle carried out a comprehensive physio assessment (a very patient and empathic listener) and provided physio intervention to release whatever was jammed, alongside a graded rehab programme of homework exercises to stabilise the joint – I learned why “less is more”. The Balance Pilates studio is friendly, peaceful and calming. The facilities are always immaculately clean, and parking is easy; all staff greet you professionally. If you’re thinking about giving Pilates a try, this is a safe, accessible and welcoming place to be. The studio still feels nice and new and Bron has exciting plans to develop the services further, so there is always something happening. I found the bookings reminder system very useful, there are plenty of options for participating and it helps if you can be flexible with your diary. Now I’m less anxious and guarded about my old injuries and I'll be forever grateful for the expertise and care of these highly skilled practitioners, they helped me create space and time for my body to heal itself, just wish I had found this place sooner .
I've been going to Balance Pilates for a year now & have really enjoyed the friendly encouraging atmosphere that Bronwyn and her team have created. Even just doing classes once a week I have felt the benefits and get a lot less frustrating niggles/injuries than what I used to before doing pilates. Bronwyn & Balance Pilates are certainly a great asset within our community.
Last year I took up Reformer Pilates at Balance Pilates Cashmere and I love it. Such a tranquil space and I can really feel it making a difference to my health and well-being. Definitely recommend
100% My wellness sanctuary. Thankyou Bron, for your amazing guidance and constant support. Xxx
I feel so very lucky to have found Bron at Balance Pilates. After moving from Auckland to Christchurch I was worried I was going to have trouble finding a Pilates studio that would work for me. I was used to a highly trained, enthusiastic and fun instructor and I got everything I wished for in Bron in fact I got more. She rates with me a 100 out of 10!! She is very experienced and is able to impart that experience in a way that those of us who are not can easily understand. Her knowledge of how our bodies work is incredible if you arrive with a few aches and pains she always has some suggestions to help. Her enthusiasm is off the charts she is so committed to giving her clients the perfect experience. Her love of Pilates is obvious in all her private and group classes. Whichever class you choose you will have the best time ever and come away feeling fantastic. Michelle McGowan
If I could give more than 5 out of 5, I would. I started at Balance Pilates to work on lower back issues as other exercise options were just making it worse. Each session has been tailored to my needs and Bron is consistently focused on ensuring that I am doing each movement 100% correctly. I am thrilled to be developing greater strength and flexibility. The bonus is that Bron is one of those rare gems, always making you feel welcome and respected.
