At Balance Pilates, we offer far more than just reformer classes.

Our studio is a fully equipped classical Pilates space, with reformers, trapeze tables, chairs, barrels, Ped-O-Pull and more - giving our teachers the tools to tailor movement to your body.

What truly sets us apart is our teaching.

Our instructors are comprehensively trained Pilates professionals, not just reformer-certified. This means they understand the entire Pilates system and how each piece of equipment supports strength, mobility, rehabilitation and longevity.

We work with all bodies and all stages of life, from beginners starting their movement journey, to clients recovering from injury, to athletes and sportspeople from a wide range of disciplines such as cycling, skiing, golf and dance, to our wonderful golden-oldies who want to keep moving well for life.

Pilates is not just exercise, it’s intelligent movement designed to support your body for life.

But it’s also about connection and community. Balance Pilates is a place where people feel supported, encouraged and welcomed, a space where movement, wellbeing and community come together.

If you’re looking for expert guidance, individual attention, and a studio that truly sees you, we’d love to welcome you to Balance Pilates.

Start your Pilates journey with us and get in touch today!

At Balance Pilates, we’re very particular about the brands and products we choose to support and recommend to our clients. If it’s on our shelves, it’s because we genuinely believe in it.

Before bringing it into the studio, I personally used Everee Women #3 Peri-Menopause for four months and experienced some beautiful benefits. My hair feels thicker, my skin clearer, my joints and muscles ache less, I’m sleeping better, feeling less stressed, and I have more consistent energy.

Everee Women is a thoughtfully formulated collagen + protein blend designed specifically for women, supporting muscle, bone, skin, joint health and overall wellbeing.

What makes it different is Ovitage collagen a next-generation collagen developed right here in New Zealand that goes beyond supporting hair, skin and nails. It’s designed to also support lean muscle, gut health, brain function, mood and overall resilience.

We also love that the ingredients are fully traceable, Everee partners with Silver Fern Farms to ensure their collagen is ethically sourced, sustainable, and traceable every step of the way.

And of course, supporting local women’s health businesses matters to us. Everee is made right here in Christchurch, with one of the founders and their in-house nutritionist based locally in Cashmere.

We stock the full Everee Women range, designed to support women through different life stages and hormonal seasons.

✨ Balance – Everyday foundational support for skin, hair, stress, energy, muscle strength and overall wellbeing.

✨ Peri-Menopause – Designed to support energy, mood, gut health, skin and hair changes, cognitive clarity and stress during the peri-menopause years.

✨ Post-Menopause – Focused on supporting lean muscle maintenance, cognitive performance and metabolic and heart health after menopause.

✨ Active Aging Support– Created to help maintain strength, mobility, muscle mass, joint health and inflammation support, bone density, brain and heart health and overall wellbeing as we age.

Available in the studio now – $85 per packet

If you’d like one put aside, simply send me an email or pick one up from reception on your way out of class. If you’re curious about which one might suit you best, feel free to ask next time you’re in the studio.

This March we’re supporting the amazing work of Bellyful New Zealand, and we’d love our Balance Pilates community to help.

Balance Pilates Cashmere is an official drop-off point for pasta donations. You’ll find pink collection buckets in the lounge area and in the main studio, simply pop in a packet of pasta when you come to class.

Why pasta?
Bellyful cooks nourishing meals for families who are going through a tough time. One of their key meals is Macaroni Cheese, so pasta donations help them prepare meals for whānau in need.

💛 About Bellyful
Bellyful provides up to three nights of meals to whānau with babies or children under 12 who are facing challenges such as:
• illness
• bereavement
• stress or isolation
• pregnancy
• miscarriage or baby loss

Their support is based on emotional need, not financial assessment, and meals are cooked and delivered by volunteers with care and aroha.

Each whānau receives frozen meals such as:
• Beef Lasagne
• Beef Bolognese
• Macaroni Cheese
• Tomato & Red Lentil Soup
• Mild Vegetarian Curry

These simple, nutritious meals can make a huge difference for families who may not have a strong support network.

💗 If you’re able, please bring a packet of pasta to your next class and drop it in the pink bucket. Every donation helps Bellyful provide practical support and a little relief to local families.

Thank you for helping us support this incredible community initiative.

❤️ Did you know we have a Defibrillator at the entrance of Balance Pilates (131 Hackthorne Road)?

We realised there wasn’t one available around our hill hub, so we did something about it.

With the help of our incredible Balance Pilates community and the generous support of:
Shelf Home
Emperors Cafe
Cashmere Primary School

…we fundraised and installed an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) for our wider community to use in an emergency.

Please take a moment next time you’re in the studio to notice where it is located — familiarity saves precious time if an emergency ever happens.

We also encourage everyone to download the AED Locations App on your phone so you can quickly find the nearest defibrillator anywhere in the country.

A defibrillator is a life-saving device that delivers an electric shock to help restore a normal heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest.
AEDs are designed for public use and provide clear voice prompts to guide you step-by-step. Early access to defibrillation can increase survival rates by up to 44%.

This is about community looking after community ❤️

Please feel free to share this post, you never know who it might help.
