SW4 Pilates

Been coming to SW4 Pilates for a few months. Not only because I feel pilates is right for me, and it is.... but Chiara is amazing. Intuitive and works with you, not at you. Makes sure you are comfortable with each movement and progresses you when she feels you are able to move forward. A gentle but firm nudge to get you to challenge yourself each time. Have been able to rethink years of bad habits and feel more in tune with my body already. Can't wait to see what is next! If you want a person focused teacher, this is where you should come.

Chiara is an amazing Pilates teacher. I have enjoyed learning from Chiara over the years. She is very knowledgeable and adapts the exercises as needed. I also send a lot of my patients(I'm an osteopath) to Chiara and I trust her and her team to look after my patients and get them back to the fitness level they deserve. If you have never tried Pilates I would highly recommend SW4Pilates as the place to start. It is also a great place to change up your usual Pilates routine.

I am a pilates teacher myself and I learned a lot in my initial consultation with Chiara. Chiara was highly recommended by another teacher I think highly of. I’ve felt very lost trying to figure issues that have been showing up in my own body for a while (at times very painfully). This session gave me the boost I needed and I feel like I’m in the safest of hands to relearn how to work my own body in healthier ways. We had a-ha moments all the way through.

I began doing pilates with machines back during the 1980's and stopped for several reasons. I enjoyed this 1 to 1 session the most because I was able to concentrate so much better. I think that Chiara is a brilliant teacher and I shall be recommending her to all of my friends in London. I know from just yesterday's session that I will be able to achieve exactly what I want to which is to walk better; a bit quicker with less pain. I am so looking forward to exercising at SW4 Pilates. I know it will help so much to transform my stiff body.

Chiara is a great professional, she guides you from the super basics to the development plan into your Pilates journey. Her studio is cozy, with all you need, from modern new reformers to back support and much more. I highly recommend to book a space because her business is getting more popular day by day and soon will need a bigger studio ;)

I started with Chiara while I was pregnant - doing prenatal yoga - and I've been going regularly from 2nd through most of 3rd trimester! My last class with her was at 37 weeks! I would keep going if I could (but my body is telling me to stop now) because I just enjoyed my sessions with Chiara so much! I enjoyed the workout, but also just chatting with Chiara. The studio is lovely considering the small size (max 3 students, but I mostly had private sessions - lucky for me!) Chiara knows her stuff. I've not had a pilates teacher that paid so much attention to details - every right and wrong muscle I used, she knew! The sessions are customized to how I'm feeling each week. She also knew a lot about different stretches and exercises I could do to prepare for my upcoming birth. And it was just great to have a conversation with her since we have small children of similar age. One day, after I pop out this baby, I'd love to go have drinks with her hahaha. This is not a checklist class and it's not a video that you just follow. All in all, I highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-class pilates session. #prenatalpilates #pregnancypilates #postnatalpilates

Chiara is an amazing teacher. She clearly has a wide knowledge of pilates techniques and human body and is able to guide you while teaching you how to listen to your body. I was lucky enough to have her during my pregnancy and in the post-natal recovery. She helped me staying fit during those 'rounded' months and recovering my strenghts after delivery. Highly recommended studio!

I booked some duet classes at SW4 with my wife, who was getting the end of her pregnancy and finding lots of everyday movements a struggle. We absolutely loved our sessions, which Chiara tailored really well to what my wife was able to do. She had so much energy at the end of each session! We will definitely be back at SW4.

I started Pilates with Chiara because of a slipped disc I have on my neck. I was impressed from our first session with her knowledge. She both pushed and protected my body enough to lead to my improvement. She explains every movement in detail, making me feel comfortable with new exercises. I am now pain free and feel much stronger!

I have been doing Pilates for many years and I can easily say Chiara's classes are the best I have ever done! She's both professional, fun and kind-hearted, which is really what you want from your instructor. My partner is new to the discipline and started Chiara's classes after her pregnancy. She is really seeing the benefits for both her body and mind!Thank you Chiara for making a happy couple, a happier couple!
