Fantini Pilates

I have been practicing Pilates with Maria for a number of years now, in both mat work classes and group studio reformer classes and both have been incredibly beneficial to my overall health and wellbeing. Over the years I have picked up a few different injuries here and there and working with Maria regularly has allowed me to maintain mobility and build strength back up safely each time. I have also found that my deeper understanding of movement and my body in general, has led to improved performance in other fitness activities. I cannot recommend Maria’s classes enough!

Maria was recommended to me following an issue with my back which severely limited my mobility and everyday activities. When I arrived Maria went over my condition, medication and physical limitations and we worked, initially, on one-to-one sessions. Pilates was new to me but the exercises that Maria gave me led to a real improvement in my condition. We worked with the sessions for some time then Maria recommended that I no longer needed the one-to-one sessions and could consider joining in the apparatus group sessions. These sessions I really like as I find it enjoyable to exercise in the company of others. We use all the Pilates equipment and mat based exercises. Maria is a fantastic instructor and extremely knowledgeable in Pilates, body mechanics and movement. She really focuses on all the small details in each exercise which make the experience challenging but rewarding. My condition and confidence has improved so much since I started and I owe all of this to Maria. I cannot recommend Maria and Fantini Pilates highly enough.

I can't recommend Maria enough. I started practicing Pilates with her four months ago when I was struggling with a sever hip injury which was affecting my quality of life. From not being able to walk 200meters, I was able to do a full hour of pilates with no pain and gradually built the strength and confidence to do more. Maria has taught me the skills to exercise safely and slow down to focus on controlled movement. Maria is not only a great pilates teacher but also a very caring individual.
