Bruce Johnston
At the tender age of 55 years Bruce became interested in the Pilates method of exercise. Over the years Bruce had regularly played golf, run, swum and gone to the gym. However it was through pilates that he saw and felt significant results in his health, fitness and wellbeing. Bruce enjoyed substantially increased strength, tone and flexibility and improved posture. Others also saw the difference. He drove further off the tee at golf than ever before, his body shape changed significantly for the better, his waist measurement became similar to that he enjoyed at 18 years of age, and his doctor remarked on his excellent state of wellbeing for a person of his age.
Bruce developed a strong passion for Pilates, and the benefits it provides for people of all ages, abilities, size and strength. Bruce's daughter Rebecca Johnston has a similar passion and interest in Pilates for health and well-being. So in partnership they opened the Body Magic™ Pilates Studio in January 2007, with the primary purpose to help and partner others to achieve and enjoy enhanced health and wellbeing through Pilates.
Bruce is trained as a STOTT PILATES® Mat, Reformer and Cadillac Instructor, and has completed a number of STOTT PILATES® Workshops.
Nicola Holtom
The origins and benefits of Pilates are well known in the ballet and dancing community, and it was during her years with the New Zealand School of Dance that Nicola was introduced to Pilates. Outside dance school hours some 17 years ago Nicola began training as a Pilates Instructor. On returning to New Zealand after time travelling overseas Nicola embarked on a career as a Pilates Instructor, training in both the Polstar and STOTT PILATES® methods.
Nicola believes Pilates is a thinking exercise. It provides continung learning and development, so it can be tailored to your level no matter how advanced or capable you are. Even as an instructor you are always learning. Nicola's philosophy is that to really benefit from Pilates you must regularly go back and refresh on the basics.
Nicola loves sharing in her clients development. She knows Pilates is an exercise programme where people quickly see changes in their body, whether it be shape, flexibility, fluidity, strength or endurance. Nicola has been with Body Magic™ since the studio opened in 2007, and is a welcome face back on the team having recently been on maternity leave. As a new mother to Albert, Nicola is living proof of the benefits of Body Magic™ pre and post-natal Pilates sessions.
