What Our Clients Say

After several years of Pilates, I’m delighted to have the opportunity now to have classes with Sangita.  The one on one attention is possible with her small classes and warm professional support gently extends you at your own pace at every class.

Suzanne Taylor

I have been going to Smart Pilates with Sangita now since early this year. I think Sangita is a wonderful Pilates teacher, she is incredibly focused on you as the individual, and especially if you have had any injuries. Sangita will design your Pilates session around you as the individual. 

I really notice if I haven’t been to Pilates or missed a day.  Smart Pilates with Sangita is very individual as there is only two people to the class. I find that in particular really helpful, as you are getting the attention and especially the correct way of doing the exercises.  

Sangita is very warm and fun. I wouldn’t be without my weekly Pilates.

Chris Kelly

As an advanced “Octogenerian” I find the Pilates sessions with you physically & mentally positive & empowering. Your attention to detail of perfecting moves, Excellent. Grateful for your efforts.

Jenny Edwards

Julie Atkins

Pilates with Sangita has greatly improved my strength and balance.

SC

Smart Pilates with Sangita is the smartest thing you’ll sign up for!  Sangita created a personalised programme for me based on my ability, and continuously tweaks to gain improvements.  She taught me techniques and tips that greatly added to my flexibility and strength – so good!  Sangita has that wonderful ability to be professional, friendly, relaxed & motivating all at the same time.  Every class is enjoyable and a jolly good workout.

Teena Hardy

Sangita provides a professional, focused and skilled Pilates training session. I appreciate that each session is tailored to my personal needs and that Sangita is consistently updating her own knowledge of Pilates.  The equipment provided is excellent.

About Sangita Ranchhod

I have been involved with Pilates since 2004.  I’ve been a client of Westmere Pilates and The Sandringham Physio Room in Auckland for over 15 years.  That is when I knew that Pilates was right for me.

Pilates has helped me personally with flexibility, core strength, lower back, neck & shoulder issues and ankle problems. Post-surgical ankle rehabilitation has helped me get moving a lot quicker than anticipated.

Due to my love and strong belief in the numerous benefits Pilates provides, drove and encouraged me to become an Instructor.

 After completing the Polestar Reformer Training, I wanted to offer a more personal approach to Reformer sessions rather than the large class environment.

I offer semi-private classes with no more than three clients at one time. Each has their own Reformer Pilates programme, which is designed after their first session.

Polestar training includes; Muscle Skeleton Anatomy Training, Six Polestar Principles – Breathing, Axial Elongation & Core Control, Spine Articulation, Organisation of the Head, Neck & Shoulders, Alignment & Weight bearing of the Extremities, Movement Integration and Reformer Training – Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 Exercises.

I look forward to helping you transform your body with Reformer Pilates.
