Chloe Read
Student: I have been attending Paola’s Pilates Classes for about two months now, and I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. She’s an incredible instructor – very thorough, energetic, encouraging and kind. Not to mention a lovely person as well! Paola’s arguably the best Pilates instructor I’ve ever had, and I’ve been doing Pilates on and off for a few years. She allowed me to discover a new love for Pilates and stick with it! Try one of her classes and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Paola is super lovely and has lots of positive energy. Her classes are fast-paced, challenging and incredibly effective. I already started noticing the difference after my first session with her!

I met Paola about a year ago. I met her at a time when my lifestyle was not healthy resulting in being overweight, out of shape which did not make me feel good about myself. We started doing private sessions as I had a serious dislike to gyms and public training spaces. She was very astute in recognising this and was able to make the sessions exciting and variable and I kept going back. Deep down I did not think I will see results but I kept going back because I felt wonderful after each session. I would walk out tall and felt much better within.

Fay Davies
entrepreneur ,: “There’s loads of stuff on there for the time poor that truly works and I believe in Paola’s method so much – she’s not only transformed my body but she’s got me back to walking (twice) in the face of serious back surgery. So whatever the reason for looking at what she does, I can’t recommend her highly enough”

I met Paola at Core Collective when I moved to London. After one class, I was eager to try private sessions with her because of her holistic approach to mind and body. She combines the ease of pilates with challenging moves that force the body to grow stronger and leaner through a series of well thought out moves on both the reformer and mat.
