STUDIO.two - Meet Sophia

We are so pleased to introduce to the new yogi on the STUDIO.two block, Sophia Howard.

Sophia completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training right here in Acacia Bay in 2026 and brings a unique blend of athleticism, mindfulness, and grounded energy to every class.

After spending 6 years in America playing competitive college field hockey, yoga became her way to reconnect with both body and mind through movement that feels strong, intentional, and restorative.
• Strength-focused Vinyasa
• Mindful movement
• Nervous system reset
• Supportive & welcoming environment

Sophia’s classes are designed to leave you feeling empowered physically and calmer mentally, balancing challenge with presence every step of the way.

Join Sophia on Wednesday’s at 5.30pm. Expect movement, breath, sweat and all the good stuff.

If you have a few $$ to spare, we would love if you could to donate to this little doll and her very cool dad!

One of our own is going through a tough time right now — and we’re rallying around him.

If you’ve ever been part of a Total Sport event, you’ll know Jason. He’s the voice on the mic, the energy at the start line, and the hype that carries you all the way to the finish. He’s lifted so many of us when we needed it most — now it’s our turn to lift him.

We’re asking our community to come together and support Jason and his young whānau during this time. Every bit helps, and it all means more than you know.

Let’s show him the same strength and spirit he’s given to all of us. 💛

You spoke, Socially Fit listened….
Mondays or Fridays?

By popular request.

😁🥰

A few of you have told me I need to get sessions going back at Studio Two again now I’ve made more times available.

Then I saw Rach, and she said, some of you have been dropping some not so subtle hints you wouldn’t mind if classes started up again 🤪 (great work all, I love the way you’ve worked both sides 🤣).

So, I’ll put it out to you.

Monday at 9am or Friday at 9am?
For myofascial movement?

Personally I’m keen to bring a LAB (Legs Abs & Butt class) and or HIIT class, but the myofascial movement will need to be worth it for the studio first.

This will also mean there will potentially be consult times around the class in town as well 😇

Sooooo, comment Monday for 9am,
Comment Friday for 9am
Or comment other with your day and time and we can see what is possible with schedules

STUDIO.two - Why should you show up on a Monday?

BECAUSE…. Firstly you get to see all of us 😘
and Secondly (and most importantly) it sets the tone for the week, it’s as simple as that!

Start as you mean to go on. You either ease your way in and lose the week or you get your sweet ass up and out and motivated - get your MF shine on today! (Iykyk)

Monday’s are where you stop talking yourself out of it and making excuses and show up:
No overthinking
No waiting for motivation
Book it + turn up + get it done + kick your own butt
and start the week off strong🔥

And did I mention you get to see us???

STUDIO.two - Do it all again!

The semi early Sunday alarm.
The lakefront kms.
The legs that question our decisions halfway through.
The well earned coffee debrief.

STUDIO.two Sunday Run Club with Aimee .nz is resetting and regrouping as we build towards our next challenge
Stay tuned for the new start date deets!

A few months to train, a few laps along the Taupō waterfront and a lot of time spent cracking jokes and keeping each other accountable.
Same + new crew. (All welcome)
Same questionable choices.
Same good time.

AND while that’s happening, we might just also be quietly working on a brand new Mat Room class at STUDIO.two!
Something a little different.
A little louder.
A little more BPM.
All will be revealed soon…..

In the meantime, Maybe we should:
do all things Pilates.
& Run club reboot.
And whatever else we’re cooking up next!

STUDIO.two - Pilates, but with personality!

Yes, we’re highly trained instructors.
Yes, we care deeply about your form, strength, and progress.
And yes, we are absolutely unhinged (well a certain two mostly)
But also….
Yes! We come together as a team, with our community, to create magic!
Strong bodies, confident movers, quirky vibes & many, many lol’s!

Serious about Pilates - Not serious about ourselves!

Because when your instructors get each other, hype each other up, and have way too much fun together… the energy hits different! Ha.ha. (iykyk)

Let’s be honest, you don’t just come to STUDIO.two for the burn…. there is also US!
And the banter
And the chaos
And the questionable counting and verbalisation!

We aren’t everyone’s cuppa tea, but if you like a little burn with your banter… you’ll fit right in!
