"Margarida is my bodies Best Friend! She builds up such strong relationships to understand you, your goals and frictions so she can better coach and support. Her knowledge is so vast that every session brings something new [...] and she is super passionate out her work and her people! [...] Margarida is that person who is truly at her best helping people achieve their fitness goals however big or small"

"Having never tried Pilates before I didn't know what to expect from trying out an intro session with Margarida. A few months on with one Pilates session per week I feel stronger than I have ever been. [...] The engagements learned are carried into my other workouts, improving form and control. Thanks Margarida for introducing me to Pilates. When I think of where I was in January to now there is no comparison!"

"Pilates with Ana is never a dull moment! She’s not just technical, but she’s really conscientious about how one’s individual mobility is different from another. Her sessions are progressive, which is great for getting the body adjusted and stronger. [...] She may put me through the toughest routines but she’ll be there closely guiding me and making sure I’m doing it right. The best thing with Ana is that she makes each session always enjoyable - even as my abs are burning like crazy"

"I love my weekly 121 Pilates session. I really look forward to it, especially if I'm aching after the gym. Margarida makes the sessions interesting and fun. I still have a lot to learn but I can see I've made progress in the last 12 months. Highly recommended!"

"I very much enjoy my Pilates classes with Margarida. She focuses on different movements each time she instructs and provides very clear guidance, which is perfect for newcomers as well as those that may have attended previously. You can tell she takes great pride in her class; paying close attention to her class members', and personalizing on a 1-on-1 basis so the level is challenging but not over intimidatingly. Thank you :-)"

"Margarida is an extremely gifted personal trainer and pilates instructor. The first thing you notice about her is her endless energy, high spirit and the good vibes she is transferring on to whoever she trains. She has a passion for people and this passion combined with her love for movement make her so much fun to be with - and almost lets you forget about the exercise and sweat you are going through! [...] I am forever grateful to Margarida for showing me that a gym can be fun!"

“I’ve taken Pilates with Margarida since 2016; my flexibility, core strength and balance has improved greatly. Her instruction has helped correct my posture and improved the rotation in my golf swing. Margarida has spent her entire career in fitness and this dedication shows in her ability to keep up to date on the latest fitness trends and communicate effectively to the student on implementing the various exercises.”

"What can I say? I simply love your classes, that I am so glad to have found you! I like the way you explain my problems and always managed to help me understand the way my body works. [...] You always ask me how I am and you tailor our training to suit. I learn to be patient when nursing my injuries and learn all the wonderful moves that you make me do so I can start my day right after every training! Which is why I think you are great for me! Thank you!"

"As a breast cancer survivor who just completed her treatments, I was eager to improve my fitness level. Working out with Margarida was the best decision I made. She was extremely patient with me, pushing me to my best ability whilst working around the challenges I faced from the side effects that I was still experiencing. [...] I am definitely stronger and fitter today because of Margarida. I even completed my first 10km official run and participated in dragon boat races!"

"At Margarida’s classes you are always taken care off, your posture, your level of fitness and special conditions always considered. I always feel safe attending her sessions, and not to mention you can tell the workout was good after the class."

"Margarida has been a great trainer who inspired me in the regime of exercises. Each session, personal or group Pilates, with her have always been fulfilling and rewarding. I feel totally fit in both physical form and in mental health. Looking forward to her sessions always. Thank you very much for doing a great job!!"
