Alana, founder of Zest Pilates

A space where everyone is welcome.

Zest Pilates is a boutique reformer studio in Mangawhai. Six reformers, small classes, and real attention, so every client gets cued properly, modified if needed, and pushed when they're ready for it. We're part of the wellness community at 168 Black Swamp Road, alongside a sauna, a naturopath, and a masseuse. All levels are welcome, always.

Alana

Alana

Founder & Lead Instructor

Alana trained with Breathe Education and has been teaching reformer Pilates in Mangawhai since founding Zest. She built the studio around a simple idea: that movement should feel good, challenge you, and leave you wanting more. Her classes are varied, energetic, and always a little different. Outside the studio you'll find her with her two daughters, a sourdough starter that needs feeding, and probably planning next week's playlist.

Instructor

Alaina has been part of the Zest team since April 2025 and we couldn't imagine the studio without her. Don't let the sweetness fool you, she delivers a killer class every time. On Fridays she runs a Foundations class at 10:00am, perfect if you're brand new, returning after a break, or working around an injury.

Sarah

Sarah

Instructor

Sarah moved to Mangawhai 18 months ago with her three girls and hasn't looked back. Her Pilates journey started after her second daughter as a former long-distance runner dealing with postnatal injuries, it became her recovery, her reset, and eventually her passion. She brings a little extra spice and variety to every class, and loves helping people discover just how strong they actually are.
