Max first discovered Pilates after surgery, using it to rebuild strength, balance, and focus. What began as rehabilitation soon became a lifelong passion, leading him to qualify as a Pilates instructor. His Pilates journey has been shaped by the Pi Classical Training and the Pilates Art education with Javier Velasquez, giving him a depth of knowledge and precision in the classical method. Today, Max works extensively with athletes across many sports, using Pilates to restore, strengthen, and refine their bodies.

Willemien blends a lifelong sporting background with a keen eye for technique to help clients build strength, confidence, and better posture through the classical method. She began her journey after years of desk work as a nutrition scientist, later training in both contemporary and classical Pilates and opening studios in Switzerland and Canada.
Since discovering the classical system in the 2012, she has continued to deepen her expertise through ongoing education with leading teachers. 

Verónica brings a rich blend of athletics training, psychology, and classical Pilates expertise to her teaching. Originally trained at Movimiento Pilates in Madrid and later mentored by Marian Tarin and Miguel Jorge at Pilatistic, she has developed a deep, refined understanding of the authentic method.

A lifelong learner, Verónica continues to study with leading teachers across Europe, valuing precision, curiosity, and the body–mind connection at the heart of her work. Her teaching is grounded, intentional, and dedicated to helping every client reach their fullest potential.

Christos has dedicated more than 20 years to studying and teaching Classical Pilates. His journey has been shaped by two comprehensive certifications, as well as the prestigious LEAP Masters Program created by Bob Liekens. A graduate of the Classical Syllabus®, Beyond the Syllabus®, and PPATT™ programs, he has continued to refine his practice through hundreds of hours of advanced education with leading teachers worldwide. Today, Christos is recognised for his depth of knowledge, precision, and his commitment to preserving and passing on the true Classical Method.

Eric discovered Pilates at 17 and went on to train classically under Inelia Garcia, Sari Mejia, and Romana Kryzanowska. With a background in Artistic Gymnastics and Physical Education, he quickly became known for his technical eye and deep understanding of the method. 

After more than a decade teaching in leading Brazilian studios, Eric took his work worldwide - teaching, presenting and mentoring across Europe, Asia, the US, and Australia.
