“Where passion meets purpose!”
Our focus is on you!
We are your support
Many clients come to us with a backpack full of complaints. Whether knee, shoulder, hip, back, the whole spectrum of symptoms. Often permanent complaints they have not been able to get rid of with other therapies or sports.
But once they have trained with us, they tell us that they are free of complaints after the first session. So take your chance and book a trial session with us. We are here to help and support you in achieving your training goals!
The beginning
My first contact with a Pilates Reformer was in my
mid-20s. I was immediately convinced by the method and wanted more. What was originally a hobby quickly turned into a passion and I became a "Comprehensive Peak Pilates Trainer".
In 2003, I founded my Private Pilates studio with only one Reformer, one Barrel and one Pilates Raised Mat. I taught one-to-one Pilates classes to women from the Frankfurt community and was fully booked in a few months, only through word of mouth. Over the following years, I gradually bought more studio equipment. A passion became my profession and my occupation, which I still practise today with much love and expertise.
Education is the foundation
After completing the basic training, which lasts 3-5 years, it is a matter of principle for a pilates trainer to regularly attend further training at renowned training centres. I have had the honour of working with the most respected teachers in the Pilates world, Kathy Ross Nash, Clare Dunphy Hemani, Jay Grimes, Lolita San Miguel. In addition, I have always focused on further deepening my knowledge of anatomy and fascia.
I can now look back on 20 years of professional experience and have since then set the quality standard for Pilates studios in Frankfurt. My passionate trainers who support me in my studio have also been professionally and comprehensively trained and have personally learned the Private Pilates training method from me.
Experience matters
In 2008, I expanded because my schedule was exploding and from then on, with two additional trainers, I taught the entire range of classes, from individual to group classes, with and without equipment, in three training rooms. I was very successful at the time, was even booked by celebrities and wanted to make Pilates popular, especially for men.
In 2011, I moved my studio to Schweizer Platz and enjoyed this prime location for many years. With 3 trainers, individual, duo, trio and special chair group classes were as popular as ever.
Exciting times
My studio is full of people who want to invest in their long-term health and some of whom have remained loyal to me for decades, because Pilates training with me gives them an upright, natural posture that is unmistakably reflected in everyday life, sport and work.
A prominent opera singer, a goalkeeper of the German national football team, a goalkeeper of Frankfurt Eintracht, a well-travelled entrepreneur from Silicon Valley, for whom his personal security had to secure the street in front of my studio, have chosen me for their Pilates training in Frankfurt.
It is a great pleasure for me to work with many different people and to be able to welcome new people to my studio again and again.
Back to the origins
In 2018, I took a sabbatical and intensely reflected on my original idea and the name I had given my business back then.
"Private Pilates" is a place for independent and strong women. I want to support you in bringing out the best in yourself.
Therefore I have decided to open a space were we concentrate only on the specific needs of the female body. PRIVATE PILATES became an exclusive female Pilates studio. We teach Privates , Duetts and Reformer Group set up of not more than 4 women. This way we can fully engage with you and you can get the most out of our 60 minutes!
We look forward to meeting you, no matter how old you are or how long it's been since you've exercised. That's exactly why we adapt your training individually to you!
My secret - the combination
The secret of my Pilates classes has always been the combination of the classical pilates method and the use of a special fascia technique.
We teach in a completely holistic way. The exercises not only strengthen the muscles, but we stretch and circulate the entire tissue and organs. We combine special breathing techniques with the exercise. This results in a rejuvenating effect on the skin and the entire tissue that is unique and defies gravity.
With a single exercise I can tighten the fascia lines that give the body its upright tension, take pressure off the joints and strengthen the muscles. The result is a fascinating full-body tension and a supple, upright stride, coupled with a youthful glow.
