Vivre Pilates

About Us FREDERIQUE MASSON OR “FRED” I have always been devoted to Health, Wellbeing and helping others. I have a background in nursing (in France and Switzerland for over 20 years), massage therapy (Swedish and sports) and sports nutrition. Keen to try different methods of training, my partner Eric who is a Personal Trainer encourage me to discover the Pilates Method. We moved to New Zealand in 2006 , at which point I started to practice Pilates regularly. The more I practiced, the more I wanted to learn — I was hooked! I decided to train to become an instructor so I could share my passion. Romana Pilates certified , teaching since 2009 , I really believe this method can benefit to everyone . I am witnessing it every day. I would love to meet you and share this great exercise with you at Vivre Pilates! The Studio Vivre Pilates Studio just moved from West Auckland to Mount Albert . The studio is fully equipped with high quality apparatus originally designed by Joseph H Pilates. We want you to enter into the studio and feel good — a big space with natural light and enough room to move freely. Free Parking is available just in front. At Vivre Pilates Studio we teach the original Method. We want to stay close to the way Joseph H Pilates developed this body conditioning. Pilates not only uses matwork, but incorporates equipment to help you to understand the Method and get the best out of the sessions. Joseph H Pilates shaped his system to be integrated into daily life and at Vivre Pilates Studio we keep that spirit. Our mission, along with your regular practice, is to help you to enjoy the sessions and become aware of your body — learning how to control it and feel how Pilates can improve your strength, posture and more. To live Pilates is Vivre Pilates!
