Fluid and progressive practice in a small group.
Work on the mat and on selected traditional Pilates apparatus, depending on the theme of the day: breathing, mobility, full-body strengthening, posture
I’ve been working in Pilates and functional fitness for 17 years.
From the very beginning, my intention has always been the same:
to use movement as a tool to correct muscular imbalances, reorganize the body, and create lasting postural change.
Over time, I came to understand something essential:
real transformation requires commitment, precision, and a deep understanding of human mechanics.
Today, my purpose is to guide every person I train — just as I guide myself — toward their highest physical potential.
There will always be trends, copies, fitness fads, and superficial inspirations.
They appear… then disappear.
But our body is the only vehicle we have.
So investing myself fully in every movement — making each one an opportunity to re-balance, refine, and make the body more functional and coherent — is not only justified; it is necessary.
Because in the long run, we are not looking for what’s popular.
We are looking for what truly works.
What solves problems.
What transforms.
If you are seeking the highest quality, real precision, and an approach that goes deep —
you are in the right place.
From strength and flexibility to calm and connection, see what regular practice can bring to your life.

Joseph Pilates was born on December 9, 1883, in Germany. As a child, he was often sick, suffering from rheumatic fever, rickets, and asthma, and his weak respiratory system motivated him to become an athlete like his father. While his parents worked, he earned his living at a sports center supervising after-school activities for schoolchildren.
In 1914, when the First World War broke out, he was working in England as a boxer and self-defense instructor. Considered an enemy alien, he was interned in camps. This period marked him deeply and was extremely important for the development of the Pilates Method. While working in the camp infirmary, he developed exercises for the rehabilitation of the injured, using mattress springs to provide support and resistance to the muscles and joints. This gave him the idea to create his first apparatus, which he would later call the Cadillac.
In 1926, he emigrated to the USA and met his wife, Clara. Together, they opened a studio at 939 Eighth Avenue in New York.
In 1967, he passed away in New York at the age of 83, after teaching his method throughout his life and dedicating himself to the health and well-being of others.
Pilates designed his own machines, which work with pulleys and springs. Through these springs, traction and tension forces are distributed throughout the body, allowing it to unwind, release, and return to its deep, natural fluidity.
The Cadillac is inspired by hospital beds and systems used to suspend or support injured limbs.
The Reformer is also inspired by hospital beds, using springs to facilitate movement for injured individuals. The Reformer is a carriage attached to a wooden frame with springs. The carriage moves through traction applied to straps by the arms or legs.
The Wunda Chair resembles a chair with a pedal that moves with the help of springs. The apparatus is small, requires little space, and asks the body to adapt to this reduced surface by finding its inner organization.
The studio becomes a playground. Each machine, each movement, contributes to improving the balance between tension and compression within the body.
Pilates conceived his method — which he called Contrology — as an ideal of physical and mental health.
In his book, Pilates explains how Contrology develops the body globally, corrects posture, restores physical vitality, and reinvigorates the mind. Breathing brings expansion and space into the body, offering a better relationship with gravity. It also improves concentration. The body regains suppleness, mobility, and muscle tone.
With Pilates, you don’t just get “fitter.”
You become more you — more aligned, more capable, more confident in your own power.
And when your body supports you, everything in your life becomes easier, clearer, and more possible.
This is why Pilates is not a trend to try.
It is a practice to live — a foundation that strengthens you today and protects you for all the years still ahead.
Choosing Pilates is choosing a life you can move through with strength, freedom, and certainty. Your body is not just a vehicle you use — it is the structure that carries your confidence, your energy, your presence, and every moment of your life.
