About Boost

Kia ora and welcome to Boost Reformer Pilates, your local reformer studio in the heart of Bethlehem, Tauranga, New Zealand.

Classes at Boost are small; with only six people per class our instructors can focus on quality workouts and provide extra support to those who may need it. Our class style is Pilates inspired focusing on a full body workout that challenges both your body and your mind. Our classes are suitable for people of all fitness levels

Boost’s goal is to be welcoming and supportive, our instructors encouraging clients to work to the best of their ability and helping them with any goals they have. We love to laugh at Boost so come with an open mind and a pair of grip socks (available for purchase in studio). We hope to see you at one of our classes soon.

Our Story

Meet Mitch & Becky; owners and operators of Boost Reformer Pilates. Becky is the main instructor at Boost and Mitch will be training soon so we can introduce Men’s Classes to our schedule.

We both grew up in Tauranga and now own our home in Gate Pa; a short drive from our studio location in Bethlehem. We live there with our cat Abbey and are not far from our families and friends, of whom we spend a lot of time with.

In April 2022, we got engaged in Cape Reinga and have been together for 8 years. One of our goals has always been to own a business and we feel extremely lucky to call Boost our own.

Outside of pilates, we enjoy kayaking, road trips, socialising, and going out for nice dinners together.

You will often see us together in studio on the weekends and teaching classes individually throughout the week.

Thanks for being here and supporting our business. We hope to meet you soon.

Meet Our Instructors

  • Becky Tarr

    Before owning Boost, Becky worked as an early childhood teacher for 9 years. During her time teaching, she joined reformer pilates as a form of exercise; then loved it so much she became an instructor through Reform Fitness in 2022.

    Becky's favourite reformer pilates movement a lunge as it's so versatile and can be adjusted for any fitness level.

    The highlight of instructing for Becky is when clients recognise and voice their achievements and growing strength.
