ABOUT

GET TO KNOW THE SCULPT STORY

At the heart of Sculpt Reformer Pilates is founder and head trainer Michaela, whose passion for health and movement inspired the creation of a studio where everyone feels welcome and empowered.

 

With a background as a pre-professional ballerina and teacher, Michaela spent years immersed in high-impact, high-intensity training. In 2018, she discovered Pilates- and was immediately drawn to its ability to build strength, stability, and balance in a way that supports the body.

 

Eager to share this with others, she completed her certifications in Mat, Reformer, and Pre & Postnatal Pilates, quickly becoming a sought-after instructor across Christchurch. From physiotherapy clinics and sports clubs to high schools, Michaela built a reputation for her approachable style and deep understanding of functional movement.

After years in the fitness industry and seeing the growing demand for Pilates in Christchurch, Michaela saw a natural opportunity to bring her teaching experience and passion together. Her vision was to create a welcoming space where everyone could enjoy the benefits (and the burn!) of Reformer Pilates.

 

That vision became a reality with the opening of Sculpt Reformer Pilates.

 

Today, Michaela leads a tight-knit team of highly skilled trainers who are passionate about delivering dynamic Reformer Pilates classes in a supportive, inclusive, and empowering environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned mover, you’ll find a space where you’re truly welcome and challenged.
