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 to become the thriving community we see 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 way it combined strength, movement and control, and I knew I'd found what I wanted to do.
Today, I feel incredibly lucky to spend my days helping people become stronger and more confident in the way they move, so they can keep doing the things they love in their everyday lives. Opening Body Counsel has been one of the biggest challenges I've taken on, but also one of the most rewarding.
Thank you to my partner, family, friends and every member who's been part of this journey. Your support has helped make Body Counsel the welcoming community it is today, and I can't wait to see where the next chapter takes us.
