Group classes at SO are Reformer based, and we have max of 10 machines at our studio. Here at SO, we try to simulate as much of a private session and tailoring the workout for each and every one of our clients, but for a group class, there’s only this much we can do. Our friendly and knowledgeable Instructing Team are always here to help, so feel free to have a chat after class with them if you are finding some of the moves a bit confusing, or need a bit more of a tailored advice on what you need to work on. 

Reformer Pilates is a form of low impact resistance strength training, with the supportiveness of the Reformer to help cater to all at different strength level. With The SO Method, we tailor each class to work on strength training, mobility, control and flexibility. Naturally, some classes are tailored towards one aspect more than the other, so you might find that our classes are same same but different each time!

Here’s are some of the benefits of Reformer Pilates -

• Improves Core Strength and Stability.

• Improves Posture & spinal alignment

• Injury prevention & management

• Improves balance & coordination

• Improves mental wellbeing & reduces stress.

Private classes at SO are multi-equipment. We are one of the few studios in Auckland, that are fully equipped with all Pilates apparatus. All of our SO Instructors are multi-equipment trained. So what does that means?

All SO Instructors are certified in teaching Reformer Pilates, along with certification in Cadillac/Trapeze Table, Barrel & Chair.
