Meet your Rebels

Welcome to Rebel Pilates, where the vibes are strong, the workouts are stronger, and the team is here to push, challenge, and support you every step of the way. Our instructors are more than just trainers, they’re movement specialists, motivators, and absolute legends who bring energy, expertise, and a whole lot of personality to every session.

Amanda

Co-Founder & Coach

Meet Amanda, the driving force behind Rebel Pilates, where stereotypes are smashed, and movement is for every damn body.

Amanda’s journey began at age 13 when she launched her professional dancing career. Soon after, she discovered her competitive edge in Sport Aerobics, proudly representing New Zealand on the global stage. Armed with a Diploma in Sport, Amanda & hubby PJ made the leap across the ditch to jump head first into the fitness industry. Her boundless energy and love for movement saw her excel as a Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Gym Manager.

In 2014, Amanda co-founded HABITAT, a thriving fitness community born from her 25+ years of industry experience. Now, with that same passion and a rebellious streak, Amanda brings you Rebel Pilates, a bold partner studio to HABITAT that flips the traditional Pilates script. With Reformer classes, instructor training, and a no-judgment vibe, Rebel Pilates is Amanda’s next chapter in redefining movement for every damn body.

When she’s not coaching or creating, Amanda’s happiest travelling, raising her two boys, or dancing to 90s jams.

Ginny

Co-Founder & Coach

With 30 years of teaching group fitness and Pilates under her belt, 20 years of dance magic, and 7 years of yoga, Ginny is a powerhouse of movement with decades of rhythm and flow behind her. Once an international Les Mills presenter, she now brings that same energy, passion (and sass) to the Rebel crew.

She’s all about retro bangers, real connection, and reminding you that fitness should feel good and fun, even when it’s spicy. Expect flow, fire, and a few sneaky dance breaks mid-class.

Catch Ginny for the perfect blend of sweat, soul, and smiles.

David

Coach

Reformer Instructor & King of the Dad Jokes!

With 40+ years in the fitness game (and still flexing), David brings a lifetime of movement, motivation, and mischief to the Reformer. He’s all about helping people move better, feel stronger, and leave class grinning. At Rebel, he proudly leads with lunges, laughs, and the occasional throwback to his 4th place finish at the World Aerobic Champs (yes, that era of leg warmers and headbands).

Expect classic beats (Jackie’s his go-to), endless encouragement, and zero tolerance for boring.

Warning: Side effects of David’s class may include sore abs from smiling.
