A little reminder from Camp 🤍

It’s easy to get caught up in the building, the working, the planning, the doing.

At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about. Making time for the people (and dogs🐶) you love, getting outside, moving your body, and actually enjoying the life you’re working so hard to build.

Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

- Dolly Parton

GUEST INSTRUCTOR ALERT ‼️

We are SO excited to welcome our very first guest instructor to Camp this Saturday!!! 🥹🔥

Meet Sarah 👋🏼 A New Brighton local with a serious wealth of experience, we can’t wait for her to bring her style of teaching to the studio.

And if you’re booked into the 8:00am class, you might even catch Lizzie getting a taste of her own medicine and sweating it out on the reformer with you 👀

Sarah completed her comprehensive Pilates teacher training in Australia in 2017 with Body Organics Education, followed by her Barre Attack instructor certification in 2018. After relocating from Darwin back to Nelson, she expanded her teaching into strength-based group fitness, incorporating Pilates principles while deepening her work supporting women through pregnancy and motherhood, a journey she also experienced personally while welcoming her third child.

Following another move during Covid, Sarah now calls Christchurch home. She is passionate about delivering high-quality, mindful Pilates for every body and bringing her breadth of experience to every class.

Her dedication to her craft has been recognised by Exercise NZ and the wider fitness community, with Sarah receiving the Fitness Pilates Instructor 2025 award 🏆

We’re so excited to have you at Camp, Sarah! 🩶

If you’re booked in this Saturday, get ready for a good one 🔥

Julia kicked off her hen celebrations early with a morning Campfire 🔥🔥

Decorations were decorating, the playlist was playlisting and form was forming, as always! 💅🏼

Smashed it yet again, Julia. Now go have the most amazing day celebrating! We hope it’s everything you’ve been dreaming of 🤍

Xx Camp

Local legends Cam & Penny from Southpaw Brewing & Taproom showed us true couple goals at Camp recently!

Always love seeing familiar New Brighton faces on the reformers… although Cam may have been a little too committed to giving us the full Camp experience 🍑😂

10/10 form. 10/10 vibes. Questionable amount of bum

Come back anytime, Cam & Penny x

Things I’ve learnt since becoming a first-time founder 🤯

There’s a lot of advice out there about starting a business, but some things you only really understand once you’re in it.

The tiny decisions. The 3am website sessions. The wildly specific Google searches. The highs, the exhaustion, the moments where you wonder what on earth you’re doing… and the moments where you realise you’re actually building something.

Here are a few things I’ve learnt along the way.

Any other founders have something to add? 👇

You asked, we listened. 📝

Many of you are absolutely smashing BASIC, so demand is growing for INTERMEDIATE.

NEW CLASS coming each Thursday 6:00am from August 6. Bookings now LIVE!

Let us know in the comments which class times you’d like to see us add next 🩶

✨ Matariki Hours ✨

Friday 10 July:
• 9:00am Basic
Saturday 11 July:
• No classes

We’ll be back to our normal schedule from Monday 13 July.

If your preferred class is full, don’t forget to add yourself to the waitlist, as spots often become available.

If your plans change, please remember to remove yourself from the waitlist. Glofox will automatically book you into a class if a space opens up, right up until 30 minutes before the class starts.

Have a wonderful long weekend, everyone! 🩶
