So much has happened already in 2010. We now have evening classes in Greytown & run lunchtime classes up town, here in

Our New Quarterly Newsletter

Instructor Profile: Nicki Wilkinson

Masterton. Our successful Pilates4Kidz program is now in its 4th term and we also have 3 new qualified instructors. Linda’s hip op was a major success too, so we’ll be seeing her back in class soon… but lastly (and perhaps the most exciting of all) we now have a range of fun things to do outside of the studios.

Have a good read of all the upcoming events, put them in your diary, and

join us at every opportunity to celebrate our health and vitality.

Our website is looking great, and the timetable now lists the instructor you are most likely to see for each of the classes.

Bodymind Pilates is now on Facebook, so if you’re on Facebook too, please add us as a friend.

Thank you for using Bodymind Pilates.

Hi, I am Nicki Wilkinson and am married to Dean and we have three teenage children. We live on a deer farm just 10 minutes west of Masterton.

I first joined Bodymind as a member about five years ago, but due to a busy life (work, kids, building a new house and life in general) I had to have a break for a couple of years. Then last year after having worked at National Bank as a casual CSO for 10 years, combined with turning 40, I decided it was time to rethink what I’d like to do. As I enjoy exercise and keeping fit I thought becoming a Pilates Instructor was the perfect solution. So, here I am a year down the track, and thoroughly enjoying it!

As you are aware, we have now implemented our new fees. Although we were unsure of the direct impact that this would have on our operation, it was vital in order for us to continue providing this service.

So, in introducing our new fees we also offered a loyalty fee for all our current

members. Who we then encouraged to purchase extra membership at their existing rate before this new fee was implemented. We were amazed and overwhelmed by the result. Almost half of our members took advantage of this and purchased extra membership, with many

being extended through to the middle of next year. In doing this you have confirmed to us that you value our service and enjoy your classes. We would like to thank you and promise to continue providing you with the best health & fitness experience. The Bodymind Pilates Team
