What is Contrology NZ?

We are 3rd Generation pilates coaches trained globally by first and second generation teachers who have worked with the founder himself - Joe Pilates and his original team of teachers.

We have brought the original style of teaching pilates to New Zealand - called Opens Studio workouts. We are part of an exclusive global group of pilates coaches, who specialise in this training. Backed by years of in-depth study and development working with the elders and masters, they always ensure you get the maximum out of your practice.

We are a fully equipped authentic Pilates studio located on Auckland’s North Shore. Classical teachers train pilates via a system of exercises so that each piece of apparatus can be use to support and enhance movement patterns and develop stretch and strength throughout the body. This is much more effective in correcting movement than just one modality e.g. reformer, mat which works in just one way.

Train your whole body with every exercise! Agile, Strong, and Free.

PLUS Classical Pilates equipment is spring based and we have very strong spring options so it’s resistance training, cardio and stretch in each and every session. 

What are CNZ Open Studio Workouts?

Contrology NZ uniquely offers CNZ Open Studio Workouts; classes in the style which Joe Pilates himself used to operate the original studio in New York.

CNZ Open Studio sessions mean you are working out simultaneously with up to 4 others in the studio or up to 5 if online through a hybrid format; but you are working on your own workout programme that’s been designed for you. It’s an effective way to give your body a unique full workout :whatever it needs that day; while building resilience and self awareness of your health journey. All sessions are guided in a motivating and fun atmosphere enhanced by working out with others. Choose a membership weekly frequency that suits you.

Private lessons are also available, and are used as an additional tool to enhance, reshape or adjust your plan to a specific development for you. Or they can be used to simply dive a little deeper into the work.

Why do Pilates?

Pilates is an exercise system that works your entire body from your centre in eachc exercise, allowing you to achieve your highest potential in strength, flexibility, balance and control.  It can work as a reformation or as an enhancement tool, or to allow certain parts of the body to heal through movement.   

These days there are many forms of Pilates; The pure body of work is known as Contrology, which is what we teach at Contrology NZ. Here we have maintained the integrity of the work to provide the best results of this diversely beneficial exercise system.
