“Being fit is a way of life, mind and body in sync with harmony and feeling comfortable in our own body!” ~Irene~

Irene moved from Jakarta to join our team in 2019. Within just a few months, she earned a reputation as a cheerful, professional, and caring instructor. Growing up overweight, Irene embarked on her fitness journey early in life. Her determination to lose weight introduced her to various exercise modalities, and it was in a local gym offering Pilates group classes where she discovered her passion for Pilates. After experiencing the strength and flexibility benefits from her first Pilates class, Irene was hooked. She began incorporating Pilates into her weight loss regimen and muscle toning, seeing transformative results.

Motivated by her own progress, Irene became a certified Pilates instructor in 2014 and has been teaching ever since. A graduate of the London School of Public Relations in Jakarta, Irene combines her corporate experience and accounting background with her deep knowledge of Pilates to provide thoughtful, targeted, and detailed training to her clients.

Irene possesses a broad range of expertise in managing an array of physical conditions. Her experience encompasses working with spinal disorders like herniated discs, stenosis, spondylitis, degenerative disc disease, and scoliosis. Additionally, Irene is adept at guiding clients through post-rehabilitation from various injuries, including issues that impact the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and neck. She is proficient in addressing postural challenges faced by teenagers and offers specialized care for elderly clients, including those recovering from strokes and individuals dealing with Osteoporosis. Irene’s proficiency also includes providing tailored support for prenatal and postnatal women, assisting them in achieving and maintaining fitness throughout pregnancy and aiding in their recovery after childbirth.

Examples of our clients significant improvements under Irene’s care,

Linda and Karen, who suffer from scoliosis but no chronic pain, report feeling more balanced, taller, and stable after each session,

Tom, who has been recovering from a stroke since 2021, regained enough balance and strength to ride a motorbike again after just three months of pilates with Irene,

Elizabeth, a 60-year-old recovering from ankle surgery, noticed more symmetrical walking patterns and improved balance, greatly enjoying her sessions.

Jarka and Marisse, both dealing with frozen shoulders, achieved nearly normal mobility in less than a year, especially Jarka, who diligently followed the prescribed exercises,

Tina, suffering from a possible tendon issue in her shoulder, experienced pain-free movement after just one session and continued improvement from doing her exercises at home.

Anna quickly alleviated her knee pain, possibly from a meniscus tear, within five sessions, enabling her to return to the gym.

Rita, who has spondylitis, expressed immense gratitude for the support received from Irene, for being able to stand on her feet again after a severely debilitating condition. She was able to fly home without suffering from pain, and since then completed a 3-day Kinesiology class, able to work on her renovation project, and feeling stronger. Rita credited Irene for giving her a second chance at life.

Since joining our team, Irene has shown an unwavering commitment to enhancing her teaching skills by actively participating in all training sessions offered at our studio. She is dedicated to improving the overall health and well-being of her clients, customizing her approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Irene believes that being a Pilates instructor is an ongoing learning journey. “Pilates keeps me thinking and keeps me fit! I love to connect with clients, as everyone has different weaknesses and strengths. This makes me curious to meticulously discover what their bodies need and work with them accordingly. My clients make me a patient and caring person,” says Irene

“I was very happy with my class here…Irene really knows her stuff and taught me a lot about my technique….Thanks for the help Irene.”-Michael
