Instructors
MELISA LOPEZ
What makes your class so f’cking awesome?
Good vibes and lots of sweat!
What was your journey to becoming an instructor? How the hell did you get here?
Fitness helped me to overcome eating disorders and to understand the importance of building a strong, healthy body. Becoming an instructor for me means helping others to become passionate about fitness and to make the most out of their bodies. It is a way of giving back some good.
What’s your favourite way to keep a healthy body and a healthy mind?
Pilates, Pilates, Pilates! It’s all about mind-body connection. It makes me feel so good!
How does your choice of exercise fit/help your day to day life?
I have a very busy schedule so it is hard sometimes to squeeze a gym session during the day. I love home workouts. 30 minutes of exercise it’s still better than nothing.
What is your signature move?
Pilates teaser. It is definitely not an easy one. A common mistake is to excessively round the upper back. People with tight hamstrings find it difficult to extend the legs up so foam rolling and stretching is essential.
