Silvie
Warm, compassionate and caring are just three ways her clients describe Silvie! Her friendly manner and deep interest in others make her a natural people-person. With an innate, boundless energy and enthusiasm, Silvie became a keen sportswoman at a very young age. She competed for her school in the Czech Republic before moving to London in 1999, where she qualified as not only a personal trainer but also as a Pilates instructor.
Silvie now applies her manner and expertise to rehabilitative exercise, as well as general fitness, and ensures that her sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals. Her belief is that a little of the right kind of hard work goes a long way or – as she puts it herself: “Your hard work is rewarded with increased flexibility, a heightened sense of body awareness and an improvement in fundamental core strength.”
