Forget about a ChatGPT caricature here is a little bit about the real me beyond the instructor …

Hi, I’m Lexi aka APD Pilates. Pilates isn’t just my job—it’s my ❤️ love job

I’ve been teaching mat, reformer, and barre for 9 years, and I am specialised in common orthopaedics and pre- and postnatal exercise. I also do digital marketing for a number of SMEs 🤷‍♀️

My movement journey started early, ballet from the age of three, which shaped how I see strength, control, and alignment today as led to a few injuries that I have had to work on myself. I also recently got diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis!

I’m a mum of two, and I lived in Sicily for 10 years so movement, culture, and passion are part of who I am. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me following motorsports, taking long walks with my pooch and dancing in the kitchen whilst cooking food for the people I love.

🥰 What I care about most?
 Helping people move more freely, feel stronger, and feel more confident in their bodies again.

Every class I teach is tailored to you, grounded in the true principles of Pilates because no two bodies are the same.
I teach Pilates with purpose as it isn’t about trends it’s about moving better for life.
