"I feel so very lucky to have found Bron at Balance Pilates. After moving from Auckland to Christchurch I was worried I was going to have trouble finding a Pilates studio that would work for me. I was used to a highly trained, enthusiastic and fun instructor and I got everything I wished for in Bron in fact I got more. She rates with me a 100 out of 10!! She is very experienced and is able to impart that experience in a way that those of us who are not can easily understand. Her knowledge of how our bodies work is incredible if you arrive with a few aches and pains she always has some suggestions to help. Her enthusiasm is off the charts she is so committed to giving her clients the perfect experience. Her love of Pilates is obvious in all her private and group classes. Whichever class you choose you will have the best time ever and come away feeling fantastic."

"I started Pilates with Bron in February 2018 (not long after she wed Andy). I wasn't feeling great about myself with turning 60 later in the year and my body not doing what it should with aches and pains, 8 months post Rota Cuff Shoulder Op - ouch and not feeling great about the future. Bron and her Pilates sessions turned my life around, the way I think and feel and the aches and pains in my body disappeared. Bron is a great teacher of Pilates, but also very caring of the person you are. I highly recommend her sessions, either one on one private sessions or group classes. Hey and I have embraced turning 60 in November and life is great!"

"If I could give more than 5 out of 5, I would. I started at Balance Pilates to work on lower back issues as other exercise options were just making it worse. Each session has been tailored to my needs and Bron is consistently focused on ensuring that I am doing each movement 100% correctly. I am thrilled to be developing greater strength and flexibility. The bonus is that Bron is one of those rare gems, always making you feel welcome and respected."

I truly don't know where I'd be post babies if it wasn't for you (for the mental break and physical benefits). I feel the strongest I have in years! Thanks lovely."

Joanna Robinson
"Bron, is such a supportive, encouraging instructor. I like that Balance Pilates is set up within her home, it feels more personal and relaxed. Loving how Pilates gives the core strength and the feeling of having done a good work out leaving me standing tall and strong! Thank you. I can definitely recommend."
Latesha Cassar
"This place is amazing. Bron is a wonderful teacher. As a beginner I was a bit nervous about what was involved but I needn’t have been. Bron guides you through the workout expertly, explaining what you are doing and why. Such a relaxed and fun vibe too which helps! Brilliant. Can’t recommend Bron highly enough."
Helen Smith
"Bronny's reformer classes are the most efficient way to build strength, tone and increase flexibility. You can see and feel the results within a few sessions. Each class is tough but energising. I love going and always look forward to it."

"I highly recommend Balance Pilates. Bronwyn is a fabulous teacher and always greets with a smile. When I went for my first class I had never been on a reformer. She was very patient and got me hooked with her knowledge and passion for Pilates. I always leave her classes feeling energised and feeling like I've had a great workout."

"I love my twice weekly reformer sessions - Bronwyn rock's. She works at my pace yet pushes me to achieve more. I feel stronger & walk taller.
So pleased I started & don't ever want to stop!"

"I had planned to practise Pilates for a long time but I did not have time because of work in Thailand. Now, I had the opportunity while traveling to New Zealand on holiday, and my boyfriend recommended Balance Pilates to me. I sent a message to ask about how to start Pilates, and Bronwyn sent a questionnaire for me to complete to find out about me before my first lesson in order to prepare and design a routine just for me. I had back pain and a knee problem before I started. After my first lesson, I felt better about my back pain, and my knee did not have crepitus anymore. After the second time, my back pain disappeared, and i felt good about my knee. My posture when i walked, stand and sit is better. I feel good, as my stomach muscles feel stronger. I fell in love with Pilates and how my body feels after I started. I recommend “Balance Pilates” for everyone interested in Pilates, it is a great sport, and Bronwyn is a great teacher. Some people can not run because of knee problems, some people can not do a lot of sport because of back pain. I recommend Pilates, as it can help to strengthen core muscle and cardio. It does not break your bones and knees, but it helps strengthen muscles for supporting the bones. I do not feel pain anymore since I have started Pilates, I have more muscles around my stomach. Ask Bronwyn, she is a good teacher and trainer. It’s not necessary to have a reformer machine, because you can do at home with a mat, too."

"Scattered memories of my mother gathering a blanket for Yoga classes some half a century ago, my wife's fondness for it and presumptions that in more recent time's Yoga had morphed to a thing called Pilates, was my only source of knowledge. Until that is, in my sixties, the urologist advised that my disturbing groin pain was in fact muscular and Pilates not surgery, was the cure.
Thus I embarked upon a discovery of contortions, stretching and the sometimes painful quest for flexibility termed Pilates. I was lucky to fall in with Bronwyn Beck's Reformer Pilates classes at Balance Pilates in Cashmere. At the outset professionalism dominated. I was assessment one on one with the view to avoiding injury. The Old Masonic Lodge on Hackthorne Road that Bronwyn purchased is decked out with brand new Reformer Pilates machines. The interior is immaculate. Tasteful decor, scrupulously clean, waiting room and restroom not out of place in a five star hotel, and highly professional, individual and class instruction. And a lot of choice in class times. See the website, it's hard work, but the groin pains have gone and I've even got enough flexibility to take up dinghy sail boat racing again. Maybe even have a bash at the nationals in January.
Thoroughly recommend."

I look forward to classes with Bronwyn and the team, they are a professional and fun mix of challenging exercises and relaxation..

Sarah Coates
"Just wanted to share my experience. Background is I am schedules for a disk replacement and use medication to manage my pain. I have had this injury for over two years and have been unable to play sport or even function normally due to the injury. I have tried everything to postpone surgery. A couple of people had mentioned giving pirates a go, I had nothing to loose. Best decision I could have made! My only regret is not finding this studio earlier. I am mostly with out pain, functional and even hoping sport might be on the cards this summer. The instructors are so knowledgable and cater for individual needs beautifully. I walk out feeling so good every time. Highly recommend"

"If you can afford to, I highly recommend taking the pre-natal course no matter your experience level. It has really helped me physically and the team have equipped me with stretches and exercises to do ongoing. Not to mention it's a beautiful space to treat yourself too weekly with people on the same journey as you. Thanks Bron and Steph!"
Kirsty Bailey
"I am beyond grateful to Balance Pilates. As someone with rheumatoid arthritis my entire body is effected including at times an inability to move from pain and inflammation. Even when in flare Bron and the team quietly support me to adjust the movement and get the benefit out of it. Together we have built my strength back up, lose weight and most importantly trust in my body again. I very thankful for the professional knowledge, humour and belief that it would get better."
