Pilates Recipe

A whole new body. " At Pilates Recipe, we believe in the power of Pilates to transform both the body and the mind.

Located in Christchurch, Pilates Recipe is a welcoming and vibrant studio that offers a range of classes to suit all fitness levels and goals. Led by Charlotte Witheford, a passionate and experienced instructor, our studio is dedicated to helping individuals relax, explore, and develop their movement potential.

Our timetable includes a variety of classes to cater to different needs. Group Mat Classes provide a dynamic and energising workout using the body's own resistance and props. These classes are suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

For expectant mothers and new moms, we offer Pregnancy & Mums and Bubs Classes. These classes focus on gentle, safe movement to support the body during pregnancy and aid in postnatal recovery.

If you're looking for a Pilates experience tailored to your corporate team, we provide Corporate Private Sessions. These sessions are designed to help improve posture, reduce stress, and enhance team bonding through mindful movement.

In addition to group classes, we also offer private sessions for those who prefer a more personalised approach. Working individually or in small groups, Charlotte ensures that each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our studio is equipped with state-of-the-art Pilates equipment, including a Reformer, Trapeze table, Pilates Chair, and more. We also have a vast variety of small props to challenge and facilitate movement.

At Pilates Recipe, we understand that everyone comes with their own ingredients – knowledge, experience, anatomical beauty, injuries, and ambition. Our goal is to complement your ingredients to create positive, delicious, and intelligent movement patterns for you. We believe that Pilates is not just a form of exercise, but a way to improve your overall experience of life.

Charlotte's passion for Pilates comes from her own personal journey. After experiencing the functional benefits of Pilates for many years, she pursued a career change to share these benefits with others. Her professional Pilates journey began with Polestar in London, where she completed her Mat training. She has also received specialist pre and postnatal training to support mothers throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey.

At Pilates Recipe, we believe that Pilates is for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, Pilates can help improve your strength, flexibility, and mobility in a low-impact environment.

In addition to physical benefits, Pilates also promotes mindfulness and body awareness. Through mindful movement, you will release unwanted stress, aches, and pains, leaving you feeling wonderful from the inside out. Joseph Pilates said, “In 10 sessions, you will feel the difference. In 20, you will see the difference.

And in 30, you'll be on your way to a whole new body. ” At Pilates Recipe, we invite you to experience the delicious way to move and transform your body in our welcoming and nurturing studio. So, book a class today and embark on your Pilates journey with us.
