Our Trainers

Silvia

Silvia is profoundly amazed by human nature and movement. Her interest in various disciplines - classical ballet, gymnastics, Capoeira and functional training amongst others - made her realize how essential Pilates is to strengthen body awareness and discover one’s full potential. She teaches Pilates as a universal language to maintain a strong brain to muscle communication at every life stage. So during her sessions expect your body to be more 'talkative' than ever, and be ready to listen to what it has to say! She will support you to stay aware, move safely and efficiently.

Silvia qualified as a Comprehensive Pilates Teacher at Body Art Science International Pilates (BASI) and expanded her repertoire to the use of Reformer equipment as well as mat work. Her technique aims to help restore body awareness by performing small, precise and highly effective movements. Silvia’s sessions challenge your mind to focus on every inch of your body, and she will welcome you with a huge Italian smile and positive energy.

Silvio

Silvio is an Elite Movement Specialist with many years of experience in the fitness industry. His passion for anatomy and physiology started early when as a teenager he had to deal with an acute tendinopathy triggered by playing football. During the injury rehabilitation process he was prescribed a gym based protocol that lead him to fall in love with fitness and the science behind it. After becoming a personal trainer Silvio took multiple qualifications to improve his training knowledge and practical skills: Pre and Post Natal Exercise, Boxercise and Functional Training just to name a few. More recently, Silvio has qualified as a Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist and this additional knowledge base allows him to confidently work with clients with various muscle imbalances and soft tissue injuries.
