Our Story

With 20+ years of Physiotherapy experience and over 15 years as a Pilates Therapist, Cath Julius understands the benefits Pilates can bring.

It was, for this reason, Cath pioneered the evolution of large-scale Reformer Pilates classes in Christchurch and along with her team, Freedom Health Physiotherapy & Pilates developed a reputation as the go to place for health-based Pilates solutions for people of all ages.

But what about the rest of New Zealand not to mention those that just can’t fit their lives around a studio class schedule?

With the Pilates equipment market dominated by world wide brands with a strangle hold on distribution, high prices and poor customer support, we knew there had to be a better way. The market needed to be disrupted, and in 2019 Freedom Pilates Equipment became the first independent NZ wide distributor of Pilates equipment – with a focus on affordability, accessibility and amazing customer service for the every day Pilates enthusiast and studio start up.

To support this and following the same formula that has made the Freedom in-studio solution so successful, you can now purchase a reformer for home and join in the virtual in-studio classes or partake in our extensive library of On-Demand classes to suit your needs! 

We now have over 300 classes on our On-Demand studio to choose from with 5 different instructors, each offering a slightly different ‘style’ of Reformer Pilates, so you can find exactly what suits and works for you!
