"We went from struggling to fill classes to having a waiting list. Arma Reformer changed everything."
Keenan Williams
Group Training manager, Christchurch City Council
"Just what I needed. I love being able to go at my own pace and push where I can and pull back when needed. Great atmosphere, great communication & motivation, thanks!"

"Since introducing Arma workouts, class attendance and member feedback have been overwhelmingly positive...working with the Arma team has been a fantastic experience."

Keenan Williams
Group Fitness Manager,
Christchurch City Council

"Bree’s class is far from your 'usual' Pilates session, the intensity is spot-on and I always leave feeling like I’ve pushed my limits. It’s rare to find a class that combines such great alignment cues with a workout that actually makes you sweat!"

Catherine Otang
Member, Porirua

"I especially loved the focus on how to deliver the intro, the whole music side of things, and how in-depth you go into the actual experience of the class - not just the movements themselves. I personally think that’s what really sets a good studio apart from a great one, so I loved that aspect of the training."

Maxi Dippie
Owner, True North, Wanaka

"Crazy good! I may have gone a little too hard coz the motivation was through the roof lol - Coach Hunter is such a vibe."

Member, Porirua

"Prep time is highly manageable for coaches. The teaching notes are clear and accessible a full week in advance, making early preparation easy."

Amanda McBride
Group Fitness Team Leader - East, Christchurch City Council

"Thanks heaps for a funny, interactive and educational session. Cool bunch of people to work with. I’m looking forward to some 1-1 feedback and try to put that into practice."

Mel Love
Coach, Revl

"Member feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the variety of workouts delivered across the week.
To any gym owner considering bringing in Arma: DO IT! Your staff will enjoy teaching it, and your members will love attending it"

Amanda McBride
Group Fitness Team Leader - East, Christchurch City Council

Frequently asked questions

What space and equipment do we need?

Arma programs are designed to maximise space and minimise setup cost.
Most workouts can run in as little as 2–6m² per person, depending on the format.
Equipment varies by program, but many use simple, versatile setups like barbells, plates and steps - often integrating with what you already have.

Most studios run with:
• 1 screen for our workout
• 1 screen for our timers
• A music system
• Workout equipment to suit the program

We’ll guide you on the best setup based on your space, budget and goals.

Do we still control our timetable and class layout?

Yes - completely.
Arma provides structured programming across the week - you choose how it fits your timetable.

You can:
• run selected programs only
• scale class frequency up or down
• adjust layout to suit your space

We provide layout guides and proven weekly structures, so you get efficiency and variety without guesswork.

How quickly can we train new coaches?

Fast.
Most coaches can be ready with foundation training in as little as 2 weeks. Ongoing development is built into the system.

This removes one of the biggest bottlenecks in group training:
• long certifications
• recruitment roadblocks
• expensive training pathways
• inconsistent delivery

Can we really launch in just 4 weeks?

Yes - if your space and equipment are ready.

Our system is built for speed:
• structured onboarding
• streamlined coach training
• ready-to-run programming

Most sites can be live within 4 weeks, with experienced coaches often ready even faster.

Do coaches need to be qualified?

No prior qualifications are required.

We train your coaches in:
• movement fundamentals
• coaching delivery
• presence, voice and connection
• session flow and energy

Coaches complete both online and in-person training, and must pass an assessment before delivering sessions.

How does Arma help improve member retention?

Arma is designed around what actually keeps people coming back:
• Connection - connection to coach and others in the workout
• Experience - energy and atmosphere
• Results - structured progression
• Variety - without randomness

We combine physical programming with psychological and social drivers, creating sessions people want to repeat.

This reduces drop-off and drives stronger long-term engagement.

How is Arma different from workouts like Les Mills and others?

Current group training systems require choreography (which can be expensive and difficult for coaches) or leave the experience to a PT and a screen.

Arma is built around the full experience:
• Progessive seasonal programming
• Coaching learning and delivery
• Music integration
• Member connection

Instead of relying on individual coaches to “make it work”, Arma provides a system that ensures consistency, energy and retention across every class.

Can another studio running Arma workouts open near me?

No.
When you license Arma, you receive territory protection, meaning no other Arma operators can launch in your agreed zone.

How much does it cost

Arma pricing is designed to be commercially strong from day one.
Costs vary depending on:
• programs selected
• number of sites
• level of support required

Most operators find Arma delivers:
• lower ongoing costs than traditional models
• faster return on setup
• stronger class utilisation

We’ll provide a tailored proposal based on your setup.

What support do we get after launch?

Ongoing support is a core part of Arma.

You get:
• continuous programming updates
• coach development and upskilling
• operational guidance
• marketing support

You’re not just buying workouts - you’re getting a system that evolves with your business.
