ATTENTION: Busy women hungry for a new lease on life
How to stop feeling weak, tired
and in pain... forever.
Woman with chronic back pain decides enough is enough, becomes clinical pilates specialist and opens her own reformer studio to share the life-changing benefits with YOU.
The thing is, we've got a little known secret to a pain-free life that regular gyms and Pilates studios don't want you to know.​
We know how to make you stronger, more flexible and in less pain in as little as 3 months - even though you're in the rush hour of your life and you don't have time to make exercise a priority.
You'll rediscover your energy and mental clarity so you can say goodbye to feeling 'bleh' and unproductive.​
Best of all, you'll find YOU again - a more confident, stronger, better version of you.
Dear fellow busy woman,
If you want to keep up with your kids or grandkids, overcome your injuries and pain for good, prioritise yourself for a change and find a way of moving your body that is enjoyable and sustainable long-term...
Without even having to think about HOW to do it...
Then giving Reformer Pilates at SISU a go will be the best decision you ever make and you won't look back.
Here's why:
My name is Abby Fitzgerald and five years ago I was suffering from chronic low back pain.
I was working an office-based 9-5 job hunched over a screen and severely stuck in a rut between balancing work, family and ME time.
I would wake up every day tired from a restless sleep, tossing and turning all night just to find a position I could bare. I was deeply unhappy - my back pain was affecting every aspect of my life.
I started researching back pain solutions reading article after article, watching videos, visiting health professionals weekly for adjustments; you name it, I tried it.
​
​I tried what felt like every single back pain solution known to man - acupuncture, physio, heat treatments, different types of exercise - EVERYTHING.
But all of these 'solutions' were quick fixes or unsustainable - I was so busy in the rush hour of my life, I didn't want to organise all of those appointments on top of everything else or pay over $200 a week for multiple treatments that weren't giving me the results I craved.
I kept thinking SURELY there must be something more simple and permanent?
One of the most common solutions I came across was exercise. It seemed counterintuitive and would roll my eyes - how was I supposed to exercise when it felt like I was making things worse?
​
I was so sick of the pain, and sick of not prioritising myself even though I knew I should be. I wished someone would just give me an answer.
And then one day, it happened.
I stumbled upon a video about Reformer Pilates and started looking into the benefits. Pain free? Eye roll. More energy? Double eye roll. Exercise I would fall in love with? Pffft. Impossible.
Then I tried it.
For 45 minutes I didn't have to think about anything else for once in my life. I followed the instructions, moving what felt like every part of my body, almost like an internal massage. My back still hurt (and I felt muscles I hadn't felt before!) but I decided to give it another go. Then another.
You know what I realised in the middle of those first few sessions?
It was enjoyable. Addictive even.
I looked around the room and actually saw people smiling. Grimacing, but smiling. Some were swearing under their breath. But you could see determination in their eyes.
​
I wanted that for myself.
​
So I set myself a goal.
Show up twice a week for the next six months and see what happens. Ditch all the other treatments.
​
Six months somehow turned into two years. Then five.
And I've never looked back.
​
Why?
​
Within six months my back pain was gone.
I was stronger than I'd ever been in my life despite having smashed myself in the gym day in and day out in the past. I felt damn good in my own skin for once. And boy was I proud, and relieved, for simply finding a form of movement I could stick to.
​
Not only that, it inspired me so much I decided to become a certified Pilates instructor so I could share the difference Pilates had made in my life.
I could genuinely see how this would help people, women in particular given its focus on strength and flexibility. There was no guess work, I didn't have to keep questioning myself if I was doing something wrong and I never felt judged. Even better, I didn't have to think at all.
I wanted to share that joy with others.
And so SISU was born. Three years ago I impulse bought six reformers and rented a space, determined to help busy women like you get pain free, strong, energised and confident, for life. Come see it for yourself.​​​​
Let me show you some proof of how...​​
we're changing lives one class at a time.
Each of these busy women started where you are now. They had a problem they wanted solving, and we had the solution. They decided to give Pilates at SISU a go and they have never looked back.
In the three short years since opening the doors at SISU, we've helped hundreds of busy women just like you across the Franklin area and beyond become fitter, stronger, confident and pain free.
​
We now have a community of 200+ wonderful members committed to moving their bodies regularly to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
​
We have over 120 five-star reviews on Google.​​​​​​​​
We've gone from six reformers in studio to (a maximum of) 10. More reformers in every class means we have been able to help more people, faster. However we decided to cap our classes at 10 to ensure we can provide personalised attention in every class and so we can continue to have a unique, tight-knit community where everyone is known and celebrated.
​
From what started as a 10 hour a week solo passion project alongside my 9-5, we now run 40 Pilates classes a week with a small team of incredibly passionate, talented and highly-qualified instructors.
​
Giving back is something that is really important to us. We donate to charity every time you attend a class - so you can do good for yourself as well as others! We've donated thousands of dollars to multiple charities that are close to the hearts of our community like I Am Hope, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Patumahoe Volunteer Fire Brigade.
​
I have since completed my Diploma in Clinical Pilates on top of my instructor training and our team is provided with mentoring and upskilling opportunities multiple times a month so we always deliver an experience that gets our clients the best results as fast as possible.

Gives you self-prioritisation and accountability to do something for yourself
-
Allows you to be a part of an inclusive community that celebrates your wins
I want you to stop feeling exhausted, unmotivated, in pain and weak - for good.
I want you to find a way of moving your body that you love and that you can stick to long-term - that gives you the results you've been looking for.
​
I want you to feel supported with personal guidance in every class and a community that celebrates your wins - so you can get your confidence back and live a life you love.
​
I want you to find YOU again, but the best version you've ever been.
​
So I've put together a very special introductory offer + bonus extras to get you started on your journey, worth over $240.​​
​Get any 4 classes for only $69​​
($17.25 a class!)​​
That's a steal to start feeling stronger, energised, confident and pain-free at Pukekohe's highest-rated and best Pilates studio.​
Four casual classes would usually cost you $35 a class / $140 total at most local Reformer Pilates studios (including mine).
Reform Fitness, Karaka
Studio Pilates, Pukekohe
The Pilates Room, Pukekohe
In fact, even without this intro offer, the gains you will make to your overall health (mind, body AND soul) are not only worth $140 but hundreds if not thousands more.
​
Imagine if you could reduce the premiums on your health insurance? Save on doctors fees and the financial costs of other health professionals - physiotherapists, osteopaths, massage therapists? Not to mention all the time and energy you would save not attending these appointments. Simply BE happier and moving through daily life with more ease? All because you started investing in YOU for 45 minutes, twice a week.
​
I'm not joking on the health savings either. One of the most common things I hear from our members are the words "life changing". At 58, Carmel started doing Reformer Pilates via our intro offer and is now hooked - she has said goodbye to aches and pains and generally not feeling well in herself and hello to more flexibility in her spine, better sleep and being fully engaged with her two young grandsons that she looks after once a week.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Carmel
SISU is Pukekohe's best Pilates studio for a reason - we get our clients the results they are craving and they deserve. Our classes are often wait-listed. I don't even have to offer an introductory price. But I care deeply about our community and women's health in particular - and this is one of the many ways I'm able to give back.​​
​
$69 for any 4 classes (to be used over two weeks). That's less than a coffee a day, and this time you're making the change towards your own success and wellbeing long-term.​
I'll even throw in a few FREE bonuses...
Along with your four classes, you'll receive...
Weekly check-in support and personalised guidance to help you achieve your goal/s
Easy to follow guide to sticking to your new Pilates habit
Class tracker to keep you motivated and accountable
​
Accountability at the beginning is key. I know this, I've been in your shoes.​
​
I know how exhausting it is not only to suffer in pain but to try everything and constantly feel disappointed and let down. ​​
​
I want you to fall in love with moving your body because that is what is going to get you the results you crave.​​
​​​
Picture yourself stronger, energised, flexible, confident, pain-free. The best version of yourself, so you can show up for others and give more to those around you.
Change is possible, and 69 bucks plus simply showing up will be how you start to get there.
No thinking required in class, just doing.
​
But you'll need to make your move count now because...​
our doors are closing.
I'd love to make this offer last indefinitely but the reality is I can only accommodate a certain number of members in our studio.
I value quality over quantity always; this means ensuring there's sufficient class availability for our current members so waitlists aren't too long.
​
This isn't some sort of fake scarcity either. In our recent annual membership sale, we sold out three times and had to end our sale early. Our studio was at capacity and we were closed to new members, so our Intro Offer was off the table.
​
But if this page is still here, the offer is live.
And I reserve the right to pull it down at any time with no notice.
If you're still thinking yeah, yeah too good to be true...
Joseph Pilates said "Change happens through movement and movement heals".
We swear by this philosophy at SISU, and that's why
I even guarantee you this:
If you don't see results, we'll work with you for FREE until you do*
You read that right. What other gym or Pilates studio would offer you that? None, because 99.9% would say it's nuts. They don't trust what they do enough to make a guarantee like this. But I do. Because I've been there myself, I've coached others through it and I know how to make it happen.
​
I said you'll be stronger, more energised, more confident and pain-free. Give me and my team six months to prove it to you.
​
Remember my back pain story? This is why I can say the following with confidence, pride and integrity.
Give the intro offer a go.
Then simply sign up to a Membership and attend two or more classes a week over a consecutive six month period. If you haven't seen any results by the end of it, we'll work with you for FREE until you do.
You literally have nothing lose and everything to gain. This is your chance to thrive rather than survive. It's better than risk free. And you'll never look back, I personally promise.
Ready to feel 10 years younger?
Fill in your details below to grab our Intro Offer before it's gone. We can't wait to see you become the best version of yourself. Guaranteed.
Thanks for taking the time to read this page and I look forward to
welcoming you to SISU soon​!

​
That's only $17.25 a class to start feeling stronger, energised, confident and pain-free at Pukekohe's highest rated Pilates studio.
This is a strictly limited offer; once our studio is full, the offer is off the table until we have space again.
​

​
If remaining weak, exhausted and in pain, unable to keep up with those you love and sticking to boring exercise or unsustainable quick fads is how you want to roll, that's your choice.
​
But if you want to join those of us living our best lives, you know what you have to do to start your journey to better health and wellbeing.
