Customer Feedback
"I have been going to the Pilates Body Studio with Maree for 30 years now.
When I first moved to New Zealand from the UK, there were no Pilates studios in Auckland. I had started classical Pilates in the UK after being diagnosed with an inflammatory disease, and gentle exercise became a lifesaver for me - I needed to keep moving. When I came to NZ, I really missed it, and so did my body.
In 1995 I came across a review in the NZ Herald about Maree, who had just returned from 10 years of training and teaching Pilates in the UK. That’s when I joined what became known as the ‘bedroom club’, and I’ve never looked back.
I feel completely safe with Maree and her instructors, all of whom are Polestar trained with rigorous, world-class education. They understand the body deeply and know how to work safely around the inevitable injuries we all pick up from time to time. The classes adapt to us, rather than us having to adapt to the class.
Although I now have Pilates studios right on my doorstep, I still prefer to drive an hour each way to attend Maree’s classes - and I’ve been doing this for 30 years. My body, although much older now, is still strong and fit and I know it wouldn’t be like this without Polestar Pilates.
Thank you, Maree, the sessions mean the world to me."
