The Studio
A COASTAL PILATES EXPERIENCE
Zest Pilates is a boutique reformer Pilates studio nestled in the seaside suburb of Mangawhai Heads.
We believe Pilates is for everyone. At Zest Pilates, we welcome clients of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels, creating an inclusive and supportive community. Our mission is to help you feel strong, confident, and connected to your body through mindful movement.
Led by Alana, our experienced instructor, we offer fun, innovative, challenging, and personalised classes designed to improve your strength, flexibility, balance, and overall wellbeing.
Our beautiful studio is home to four reformers. By keeping our class sizes small, we are able to provide attention and feedback to each individual to keep you learning, challenged and supported in your Pilates journey—whether you’re new to reformer Pilates or a seasoned enthusiast.
Join us at Zest Pilates to discover a space where movement becomes joyful, progress feels empowering, and every session leaves you feeling confident in both mind and body.
Meet Alana
OWNER + INSTRUCTOR
Growing up in Mangawhai, Alana has always loved the coastal lifestyle and feels fortunate to call it home. As a proud mum of two beautiful girls, life is full of energy, love, and inspiration.
Alana’s passion for Pilates began after the arrival of her first daughter in 2021, sparking a journey of discovery that led her to study with Breathe Education. What started as a personal practice quickly grew into a mission to share the transformative benefits of Pilates with others.
At Zest Pilates, Alana creates an environment that is both supportive and inspiring. Her classes combine challenge, fun, and rejuvenation, tailored to help clients build strength, confidence, and connection with their bodies.
