Private Reformer Pilates in Archway

Filiz brings over 18 years in the fitness industry to the reformer, with deep roots in Pilates, Yoga and Barre. Her movement-rich background means her teaching is all about control, alignment and flow — helping you move with precision while building strength from the inside out. As both a qualified Pilates instructor and personal trainer, she blends the mind-body focus of Pilates with a strength coach's eye for progression, so every class builds real, functional results. She's also Exercise Referral qualified, making her sessions a safe, supportive space if you're working around an injury or easing back into movement. Whatever your starting point, Filiz meets you there and helps you move forward with confidence.

For more than 10 years I've taught Mat and Reformer Pilates, helping people build strength, mobility and confidence through mindful movement. Lately I've grown increasingly interested in how movement supports physical wellbeing and recovery. Expect classes that are supportive but challenging, and suitable for different abilities. Good technique comes first, and each session is shaped around what you need, so you leave feeling your best. Alongside private 1-2-1s, I lead the All Levels, Beginners and Jumpboard reformer classes. New to the reformer? The Beginners class is a great place to start.

Pilates first found me while I was training as a dancer at the Royal Conservatoire in Antwerp. Since then I've spent more than 20 years in professional dance and movement, completed STOTT Pilates teacher training and trained as a nurse. That mix shapes every session: a dancer's precision with a nurse's care. We work on alignment, strength, mobility and balance, with each exercise adapted to your body and your goals, because no two people move the same way. You'll find me leading the Beginners and All Levels reformer classes and teaching private 1-2-1s. For me, Pilates is about moving with more ease and confidence.
