About Body Counsel
The saying, "use it or lose it," has never been more true.
As we get older, we naturally tend to slow down. We don't move as much, we don't lift as much, and before we know it, everyday things can start to feel a little harder.
Body Counsel was created to help people of all ages and stages build strength, improve mobility and balance, and feel more confident in their bodies. Our small group classes mean everyone receives individual attention, while our welcoming community provides the encouragement and support to keep you moving.
Experience Our Studio
Small enough to know your name. Focused on people, not numbers.
We're not a big studio, and that's exactly how we like it.
Body Counsel is a warm, welcoming space where people come to move, connect and enjoy being part of a supportive community.
You'll be known by name, encouraged every step of the way, and surrounded by people who are genuinely happy to see you.
It's relaxed, it's friendly, and it's the kind of place where you'll quickly feel at home.
About Me
Hi, I’m Robbie
I grew up right here in Beachlands on the beautiful Pōhutukawa Coast and have loved watching our small seaside village grow into the bustling community it is today.
Like many people, I didn’t start out in the fitness industry. My career took me in a few different directions before I found myself asking, “Is it too late for a complete career change?” Thankfully, the answer was a definite no.
After qualifying as a Personal Trainer, I discovered Reformer Pilates — and everything just clicked. I loved the combination of strength, movement and control, and knew I’d found what I wanted to do.
Since then, I’ve continued to build on my Reformer training, including training in the STOTT Pilates method. My approach is simple: good movement, good technique and building strength that helps you move well in everyday life.
That’s also what Body Counsel is about. With only three Reformers, classes are small enough for me to really know how each person moves and give plenty of individual guidance. Whether you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates or looking to become stronger and more confident in your movement, you’ll always be encouraged to work at the level that’s right for you.
Looking forward to meeting you in the studio soon.
