I had never done group classes or Pilates before and was a bit nervous to try, but Maria immediately made me feel comfortable and welcomed. She pays incredible attention to detail, always remembering your preferences and focusing on the areas where you need the most support. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent Pilates experience in English!

Katie, United States ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After exercising most of my life I stopped 2 years ago and kept putting it off. Maria got me back to where I needed to be. She was absolutely fantastic with me as I'd lost my confidence and she knew exactly how to get me back into the swing of things. The most knowledgeable and professional instructor I've met yet.

Lisa, United Kingdom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been going to Maria's Pilates classes in Madrid since January, and I can't recommend her enough! Since starting, I've noticed massive improvements in the pains I used to have in my back, neck, and shoulders. For anyone looking for an English-speaking Pilates instructor in Madrid, Maria is absolutely the best!
