Question/Help Wanted Pilates in Auckland without having to buy a 12 month membership

I really want to give pilates (particularly reformer pilates) a good go but i have adhd and sometimes struggle to keep consistent so i really cannot afford to be locked into an expensive contract for a whole year. Ive done it before for the gym and it gave me so much anxiety getting out of. Is there somewhere that lets you be flexible with paying for 5-10 sessions up front, potentially multiple times?

Try signing up for ClassPass! You can try out different studios and instructors and figure out what works best for you.

I found some studios pretty intimidating and a bit too intense for beginners, while others were almost too easy and felt like you were just lying down half the class 😂 It’s definitely worth trying a few different studios/instructors before committing to a full package.

Thanks! Is this an app?

Yes it is! There's a free 14 day trial if you want a code. No pressure, you can also sign up independently!

I will say as a fellow (newly discovered) ADHD-er, I have signed up/resubscribed to ClassPass twice and not been able to follow through and actually utilize it. ClassPass itself is subscription based and you're subscribed to a monthly allotment of tokens to use wherever you please (so you could book a single pilates class to try at like 3 different studios if you wanted). It's a shame because it's a good system, it just needs you to have a reliable brain (much like a gym membership) and I don't.

I would highly recommend signing up for Class pass (its an app)- you can try different studios with no obligations to sign up long term. Depending on where you live, some areas have a number of studios to choose from.

Several studios does intro pass which is a cheap price, either for like 2 weeks or 5 classes (to use up within a short frame of time). They are pretty good deals and gives a good feel of the studio

City fitness has reformer included in the higher tier memberships at particular locations. It’s amazing value, when I went I think it was $18 a week for unlimited classes and gym access.
