My training system is based on a combination of strength-metabolic workouts and the Pilates method.
The goal is to achieve a body that is both strong and flexible — one that not only looks good but also makes us feel more agile and capable. This, in turn, translates into a clearer, more relaxed and positive mind. It will help us live longer and better. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best investments you can make in yourself.

Why train strength and cardiovascular endurance?
Training both strength and cardiovascular endurance is essential for achieving overall wellness. These two types of training complement each other and optimize the body's physical capacities, improving general health and quality of life. Strength training is key for building muscle, boosting metabolism, preventing injuries and improving posture, while cardiovascular endurance enhances heart and lung capacity, increases energy, and supports fat loss. Strength and cardiovascular training also positively impact hormonal balance, especially in women. Strength training stimulates the production of anabolic hormones like testosterone and growth hormone, which not only increase muscle mass but also help reduce body fat. For women, this type of training is crucial in counteracting age-related muscle loss, particularly during life stages such as menopause. Cardiovascular exercise helps regulate stress-related hormones like cortisol and improves insulin sensitivity, which is vital for maintaining a healthy metabolism. In addition, regular physical activity boosts endorphin release, improving mood and easing symptoms associated with PMS and menopause, such as anxiety and fatigue. By integrating both types of training into your routine, you not only improve your physical condition, but also enhance your performance in daily and athletic activities. The combination of strength and cardio will provide greater stability, mobility, energy and vitality — supporting an active, balanced and healthy life at every stage.

Why train Pilates?
One of the pillars of the Pilates method is core work — the deep muscles of the abdomen, lower back, pelvis and pelvic floor. Strengthening this area is essential for stability, posture control and functional strength in every movement, both inside and outside of class. When the core is strong and engaged, posture improves, back pain is reduced, and performance in all other physical activities is enhanced. In Pilates, we work this area consciously and deeply, using fluid and controlled movements that engage the entire body. Pilates doesn’t just strengthen — it also mobilizes, aligns and balances the body. It’s a smart and respectful way to improve your physical condition from the inside out, creating a solid foundation that supports you every day and through every stage of life.

Why combine these two training systems?
Combining Pilates with strength and cardiovascular training is the perfect formula for achieving a balanced, functional and vibrant body. Pilates strengthens the core, improves posture, enhances mobility, and increases body awareness. It’s ideal for correcting imbalances, preventing injuries, and building a solid base for efficient movement. Strength training builds muscle, strengthens bones and joints, improves metabolism, and helps prevent age-related decline. It also plays a key role in hormonal balance, especially for women, supporting bone health, menstrual regulation and overall well-being. Cardio training, meanwhile, boosts heart health, lung capacity and energy levels, while helping manage stress and promote endorphin release. When these three disciplines come together, they form a holistic and intelligent approach that trains the body on every level — from the core to the surface, from strength to fluidity, from calm to intensity. It’s the path to feeling strong, agile, stable and full of energy at every stage of your life.
