Our Story.
It all started with a passion for helping real women—just like you—discover just how strong, confident, and capable they can be. My journey as a trainer kicked off years ago with a dream and a science degree (plus a side of geeky enthusiasm for learning anything fitness!). After supporting hundreds of women here in Christchurch to move better, lift stronger, and laugh more, something sparked: why not make this community even bigger and more welcoming?
So in 2023, LA Pilates NZ was born! What started with just me and a small group of amazing clients has grown into a thriving home for movement, support, and serious fun. Somewhere along the way our 4th favorite Canadian (behind Buble, Celine and Alanis) showed up and never left. Linds is now the details-orientated heart of LA Pilates and my right (and left) hand woman, and General Manager.
Fast-forward to today and you’ll find four talented instructors (plus a few future “baby PTs” learning the ropes) all bringing their own passion and energy to classes, small group sessions, and personal training.
From strength and conditioning to Mat Pilates, reformer Pilates, pre/post-natal coaching, pelvic floor rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation, and everything in between—we cheer each other on, celebrate every win, and never take ourselves too seriously.
This isn’t your average team. This is a space where you can be yourself, learn, grow, and get stronger—at any age and every stage. Whether you want to feel powerful, supple, or just plain happy in your skin, you’ll find a welcome (and probably a laugh) with us.
