Balance Pilates Cashmere

I recently completed a 10 week course at Balance Pilates in Cashmere and was absolutely blown away by the personal attention and care from Bron and the team. I’ve also started the Tuesday morning classes and they provide such a great workout while making sure everyone feels supported and comfortable.nnThe studio has such a welcoming and beautiful atmosphere, the instruction is excellent, and I’ve genuinely noticed the difference. For me, it’s the only Pilates studio to visit. Highly recommend!

10 week MenoMethod coursenAbsolutely enjoyed the pilates part of the course as it gave me confidence to carry on with classes, which seem daunting to an absolute beginner. The information sheets were detailed and very relevant, dealing with aspects of menopause I had experienced but did not fully understand.nI liked the feeling of moving and stretching my body, feeling stronger as the weeks went by. Thank you for the wonderful course.

Bron’s MenoMethod course has been invaluable through my cancer-induced menopause journey. As a clinician myself, I really appreciate how evidence-based and factual her teaching is, while still being deeply supportive. The breathing practices have helped me manage hot flushes, and the course has gently supported me to accept and work with the changes my body has been through. I truly look forward to our weekly sessions, knowing each one helps me feel calmer and more centred.n- Nina Women's Health Doctor

My wife suggested I give Pilates a go. I wasn’t convinced – I didn’t think it would be a “proper” workout, and if I’m honest, I felt a bit uncomfortable about being the only guy in the room. After twelve months at Balance in Cashmere, I’ve completely changed my view.nnFirstly, it’s a serious workout. Every class pushes me deep into the pain cave – the same kind of muscle shake you get at the end of a heavy gym set. Secondly, while there are usually more women than men and I’m often the sweatiest and gruntiest one there, the environment is super welcoming and comfortable. I’ve never felt out of place, and the instructors are awesome at adjusting movements to suit different builds, strength levels, and experience. There have been some unexpected upsides too. Skiing, biking and running all feel more controlled and stable, and the lower back niggles I used to deal with have largely disappeared.nnI’m fully converted. If you’re on the fence – especially as a guy – I’d strongly recommend giving Pilates at Balance a go.

I would highly recommend the pre-natal pilates classes. They are expensive but I found them very worthwhile. Thank you Bron, for making this first-time pilates gal feel very welcome and supported. I especially loved the space and tea to give us the encouragement to sit down and get to know each other after class. Definitely made it easier to meet other new mum friends which was a big part of my original decision to come along. I also probably wouldn't have been proactive about visiting a pelvic physio and learning more about my pelvic floor without your guidance either, so thank you. I plan to see you with my baby once we get the all clear from our LMC, so hopefully I'll be back in November for the mums and bubs classes.
