After graduating with his Sport and Exercise Science degree in Rome, Dario took the opportunity to complete his European Master of Science in Health and Physical Activity, which allowed him to study the principles of exercise therapy in the clinical environment. Through this, he came to understand just how beneficial exercise medicine is in multiple areas – from the improvement of mental health and the preservation of cognitive function in later life to the prevention and management of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions.

To expand this knowledge and deepen his understanding of these conditions, Dario trained further with a BACPR course, liaising with other professionals at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust at the same time to improve his ability to apply cardiac rehabilitation principles in everyday practice.

Using this experience, Dario always looks for the best possible ways to enable clients to achieve their goals, and overcome any barriers and limitations they may be experiencing as a result of life-changing events.

Keen to combine his university studies with his passion for working with others, Tom completed his Gym Instructor and Personal Training qualifications. He enjoys working closely with clients to help them unlock their potential, overcome challenges, and become the best version of themselves that they can be. Whether it is teaching a new client the basics of the gym, or training elite athletes in a strength and conditioning environment, Tom feels that a combination of communication, team-work and dedication can achieve most goals.

Always striving to push himself and increase his knowledge in the industry, Tom went on to gain his BACPR Level 4 Cardiac Exercise Instructor qualification, allowing him to help clinical populations with exercise prescription. It was during this time that he fell in love with clinical exercise prescription, and the opportunity to help clients with specific clinical needs, goals, and requirements. For Tom, helping people restore their day-to-day fitness after suffering health problems is as much – if not more – of an achievement as hitting a personal best on a bench press or 5k best time.

As a result, Tom has worked with GP referral clients in both a 1-2-1 and group exercise setting. Working together to achieve a common goal, and facing a variety of barriers and physical conditions, is the way he loves to work. Being able to understand specific needs, work through obstacles in the most effective ways for the clients and continuously developing their health, wellbeing and confidence is a particular strength of his. From improving the range of motion at specific joints, to increasing cardiovascular fitness to improve the quality of daily functional activities – no matter the aim, if it’s important to the client, it’s important to Tom.

Tom combines high energy and enthusiasm with a depth of practical and theoretical knowledge to provide fun, valuable, and thorough sessions that will support clients on their individual journeys.

Her knowledge about the influence of a healthy lifestyle was furthered during her studies of Sport and Exercise Science and a masters in Sports Therapy. She learnt about the effects of nutrition on the body’s systems and also the preventive mechanisms of illness and injury that exercise possesses.

Martha’s experiences treating injured patients during her Sports Therapy placement, and from becoming injured herself, means she understands the debilitating effects that injury and illness can have and therefore the importance of good rehabilitation and consistency. From working with many people, often with the same injury, she recognises that every person is unique and requires their own rehabilitation plan. She enjoys working with people to improve their quality of life and assist them to achieve their goals.

Martha believes that exercise improves day to day productivity and state of mind. She attributes her organisational and driven nature to balancing both work and exercise.

In her free time, Martha continues to play hockey and also enjoys running in parks around London and cooking healthy dishes.

Her dance background includes mostly Ballet but also Jazz and Contemporary dance.

Throughout her career in Colombia, she gained experience working with a variety of populations, including professional tennis players, orthopaedic rehabilitation at the largest military hospital in the country, and in the ICU of one of the most complex hospitals in the nation. She has continued to expand her expertise with further qualifications, including certifications in Pilates, Kinesio taping, and a diploma in respiratory care for critical patients with AHA certification.

Additionally, she completed a Master’s degree in Health Management, enhancing her understanding of healthcare systems. In 2019, she moved to Shanghai, where she worked for four years and discovered her passion for teaching. This led her to relocate to London, where she now combines her clinical expertise with her enthusiasm for education. Her goal is to continue making a positive impact on the health and well-being of people through physiotherapy and education.

Pilates resonates with Lorena’s philosophy about the human body and movement. She believes in the importance of training the body to create a broad range of movement variability, which doesn’t necessarily mean performing complex or advanced exercises. In fact, she believes in mastering the basics first, which creates a solid foundation for more complex and dynamic movements later.

For some, this idea of focusing on simplicity can seem boring or repetitive. However, Pilates proves that even the most basic movements can be transformed into challenging exercises through careful attention and intention. Every day, she sees how the smallest adjustments in alignment or focus can turn a seemingly simple movement into a powerful and effective one. Pilates aligns perfectly with this belief by emphasising control, precision, and mindful movement, which are essential for both injury prevention and improving overall function.

In her classes, participants can expect a strong focus on form and progression through layers. She begins with the basics, ensuring that they have a solid understanding before moving on to more advanced exercises. Once they’re ready, she safely builds on that foundation to elevate their practice.

Above all, she values movement variability. Her goal is to prepare her students to move confidently in different environments and situations while helping them feel safe and comfortable in their bodies. She wants them to feel empowered to keep moving, knowing that they have the strength and stability to do so with ease.

As a Colombian, dancing holds a special place in her heart, with salsa being her favourite style. She also loves to learn and explore new things, whether it’s singing, playing the piano, learning new languages, or writing.

She later graduated from Brunel University London with a first class degree in Physiotherapy, gaining experience in: Amputee Rehabilitation, working with Adults with Learning Disabilities, Cystic Fibrosis patients, Paediatrics and Musculoskeletal Outpatients. This confirmed her interest in specialising in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, being afforded the time to create positive environments for her patients to thrive throughout their rehabilitation journeys.

With over 5 years of experience working with one of the UK’s leading providers of private Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, Nita’s taken on various leadership roles. This includes leading land-based and aquatic group exercise classes, becoming a clinical mentor, facilitating the development of her team, whilst continuing to support her patients. She developed into an area manager, leading one of the largest areas of the national network. These roles offered insight into the patient and therapist experience, cementing Nita’s love of collaboratively working towards a shared vision, which she aims to bring to her sessions.

Nita has experience working with patients navigating a variety of situations including post operative rehabilitation, sports injuries, occupational health concerns, acute or chronic conditions. She values understanding her patients’ journeys to the clinic room, as well as their desired outcomes. This informs the creation of individualised treatment plans with her patients.

These days her time out of clinic is spent in aerial hoop classes, at the gym and escaping to the coast.

This passion for movement and expression led Natalia to pursue a comprehensive education in Dance, with a specialization in Contemporary Dance, at ARCIS University. It was during her studies that she was introduced to the Pilates Technique, which profoundly impacted her approach to physical fitness and well-being. The dynamic and fluid nature of Pilates exercises resonated with her, and she was inspired by the rapid and tangible results it delivered in terms of strengthening and toning the body.

After completing her degree, she decided to deepen her involvement in Pilates by pursuing training as a Pilates mat and comprehensive instructor at Pilatesqi Chile. This additional training has allowed Natalia to expand her expertise and share her passion for Pilates with others.

Throughout her career, she has continuously sought out new approaches and methods to enhance her understanding of movement and physical expression. Currently, her primary focus is on integrating the principles of dance and Pilates to create a unique and holistic approach that emphasises fluidity, strength, and the mind-body connection.

Natalia’s commitment to personal and professional growth is unwavering. She is deeply passionate about sharing the numerous benefits of Pilates with her students and clients, and she is dedicated to contributing to their overall happiness and well-being through movement and mindful exercise.
