If I could give Well Trained more than 5 stars I would!! I started almost 3 months ago and have loved every minute of it. Its great for all experience levels. The well trained community was so welcoming and supportive when I first joined which along with a killer workout has me hooked.

"I train a mixture of BJJ, Kickboxing and some powerlifting on the side. I started going to Well Trained yoga classes to hopefully relieve some muscle tension. Mate, this stuff is a game changer. My ongoing shoulder pain from having a kimura ripped on me pretty much disappears when I attend regularly. My kicks are consistently higher and more comfortable. My squats are deeper than ever.

From relaxed shoulders, to looser hips and everything in between, the hot yoga and pilates is doing wonders for me. I dont know if its the heat, the vinyasa flows or a mixture of all that and the awesome friendly vibe at Well Trained. Im loving it and the benefits in my training, got a customer for life in me.

Shot Lou, Gamo, Leon and the rest of the team for your awesome mahi - yous are amazing!!

"So glad to have found a home in well trained. I have been pushing my limits and more, as i go onwards. Im glad to have seen results holistically, most especially in my mental health and physical strength. 

The energy, the vibe, the instructors who have been very enthusiastic in what they do..."

You come here at the studio and no judgment whatsoever. You do you. You beat you. You dont have to look at others. You just have to take that focus within and keep going.

I love going to Well Trained. Lou the owner is an awesome chick, she has an amazing aura, nothing is ever a problem, she makes you feel welcome and genuinely follows up on your progress. Customer service is everything to me. I plan to sign up as a member. The instructors deliver clear instructions and are super supportive. They don’t push you, they motivate you.
Note: do not be scared of the heat, you will get used to it. It helps you bend and stretch better. The studio is clean and smells great before and after class. Participants are of all ages, shapes and sizes with different levels of fitness, everyone is welcome. Give it ago with a friend or two. The studio offers a range of classes if you just want to Zen or need a burning workout. Try the intro offer. I did!

Thank you for opening this Well Trained Studio in Manukau. It is such a warm and welcoming environment, very clean and absolutely beautiful decorations always filled with a calming aroma and freshness. I am absolutely enjoying all the variety of classes offered. It has really helped me not only physically but also mentally. Anyone practicing here will never want to go back to a Gym... Lou and her instructors are full of passionate and energy every time they teach, very positive and encouraging to help me reach my goals. Thank you Lou for looking after us.

Siyi - Mindbody Review

"Inferno LAB - Favourite class.🔥 Legs, Abs, Booty will get in formation if you keep coming to this class. It burns but you will reap the rewards. Your abs, booty and legs will thank you. Thanks Yo! Great sweat to great music. Variety of exercises to get your heart pumping. Can be sure to do lanny's fav chacha move and then finish it off with a minute plank. Highly recommend. 💯 The class to do if you want your 🍑 goals."

Mary - Testimonial

I haven't done any form of exercises nearing two years. I was feeling unfit and nervous to attend the pilates class. I talked myself out of it a few times prior to my first class. But I am so glad I built the courage and showed up on the mat. Now 3 weeks on I am loving it and I look forward to each of my class. I have done similar style pilates before but I used to dread going to those classes. There is a sense of calm in the way Lou runs the class. Lou is the anchor to my busy chaotic days ☺

"Enjoyed the energy in today’s class. Started off not being able to do mountain climbers as fast as others but today I feel that I smashed it out. Awesome feeling afterwards. Love it Lou. A hot sweaty and sexy mess!!! That’s a feeling you get when you know you’ve had a great workout with Lou. Have not had a session where you leave feeling disappointed. Fired up and ready to go with the next one. Bring it on!"

Great hot yoga class. Craig provides clear guidance on postures, what part of body, muscle being used and provides advice for little changes that I can make to improve the posture. Demonstrations have helped me improve my postures. Highly recommend Well Trained, facilities are great and instructors are supportive and great at what they do.

Great class thanks Lou - your classes make me come back which is pretty amazing given I was adamant I didn’t even like pilates! Definitely getting stronger...

Kiri S - Testimonial

Positive and encouraging, you make everyone feel welcome. It feels great to be a part of that. I love Lou’s classes, online and in person. She’s a positive and expert teacher and I can see the benefits. I’m stronger and the classes are helping my recovery from from a shoulder injury. And because the classes are low impact I’m confident. Lou also has great music and manages every individuals needs very well. Thankyou!

Absolutely love this place! Lou is so welcoming and such a vibe!! I had been looking for a while for the right Pilates/yoga studio for me, I tried the Sunday Hot yoga with Gamo and I was hooked! Then I tried Lou’s hot Pilates and I was addicted!! Hands down my favourite place to be especially after a stressful day at work!! Thank you Well Trained team for creating such a vibrant environment where we not only strengthen our bodies but our minds too.
