OUR STORY

Inspired by the rise in boutique fitness, Fusion Movement Co. was born at ReDefined Wellbeing Hub in Papamoa (check out www.redefined.nz).

Here founder Jimmy August partnered up with Sam Burch, one of New Zealand's leading and foremost Pilates experts to design programs that harness the power of Pilates and Yoga that cater for all levels and abilities. The name FUSION comes from Sam’s work in fusing both the benefits of traditional Pilates (how it was originally created by Joseph Pilates) and the more modern dynamic evolution of Pilates, as well as various forms of Yoga to give people both the physical and mental benefits of low impact movement.

The in-house Movement Studio at ReDefined is Reformer Pilates focused, each week we run 37 classes, while our Mindbody studio runs 28 Yoga classes across various styles and modalities, with combined weekly attendance above 700 visits.

We are passionate and committed to utilising the benefits of Yoga and Pilates, as low-impact forms of movement to help improve the way we move our bodies and get great results.

Both mentally and physically.

Our programs, training, education, and online workouts are delivered through our very own app:
