Viva Life Pilates & Fitness

This studio is my little place of escape. I love going there to switch off from everything. I use the infrared sauna, and go to the small class Pilates, reformer and occasionally a group PT. All are great. The instructors are very accommodating, helpful and kind.

Four years ago I was looking for a way to stay fit, lose some weight and after having travelled for years, also for community.And here I still am. A small studio that is as judgement free as it gets, with instructors that care about your overall well being and take the time to correct your movements to protect your body from injury. I’d never done Pilates before and quite quickly learnt that form is important, especially for my lower back. Viva’s instructors are not shy to be hands on in correcting my form where needed which has helped me learn how to correctly and safely complete the exercises. Compared to large studios, this one sees you as an individual with all your physical concerns and personalises your workout according to your needs while you’re in class. It’s a safe environment for body, mind and even soul. If you’re on the fence, fall onto the Viva side. It’s worth it!

Love this studio. The instructions are fabulous and very friendly!! They are all very knowledgeable in the art of Pilates and always provide different options during class, to allow you to focus on your practice.

Vivalife Pilates is a wonderful and welcoming studio. Whether you have experience or nervous about picking up something new, this is the place to go. Everyone is kind and welcoming at Viva. The studio and equipment is impeccably clean and cared for. The other clients are some of the nicest people and I always feel welcomed and embraced. At Vivalife Pilates I leave feeling stronger and happier. It is absolutely my ‘happy place’ and treasured time out just for me!

In life I believe things happen fora reason, meeting Karen back in 2010 wasinitially by chance at the Ridge and it certainlystarted a journey for me . Initially a journey tobe fit by the time I reached 50 and now I cansay as I draw closer to my 60th this year it wasthe best decision and chance meeting of my life. If it wasnt for Karen those 1280 classes and counting ! Wouldn't have happened, her support, kind encouragement and belief in me ,has seen me go from no exercise other than walking to where I am now . The community Karen has created at Viva makes it possible and classes are something I look forward to after a stressful day at work, so to Karen and all the Viva crew a big Thankyou to you . And toall the ladies and gents who are part of the Viva Community Thankyou to you for making every class something to look forward to . I work in Mental Health and I want to remind everyone to look after your Mental Health you also have to look after your Physical Health, life can be tough and have it's ups and downs but exercise is part of finding balance and finding You.

It feels like being wrapped in a warm hug when I there. It feels like the instructors really care about you getting the most out of a session. Definitely a happy place.

I can’t recommend Viva more highly. It’s hard to find a place to exercise that ticks my boxes of: friendly and welcoming (without being over the top), good choice of classes and times, easy to book into with personable and supportive instructors who genuinely care…so I feel like I struck gold when I found Viva. It’s the kind of place you always feel welcomed when you walk into. There’s a friendly buzz in the air at all times, but if you don’t feel like talking, you don’t have to. There’s a huge amount of classes every day which means you can’t make any excuses to not go and well, for the first time ever, I don’t even think about making excuses as it really just feels like self care when you walk in the door. Kaz and the teachers at Viva have done an outstanding job of creating a community and a space that feels supportive, warm and welcoming and I feel so grateful to have it as a regular part of my life.
