Petra
Owner and Founder
Dance in any form (and later also multiple forms of movement) has always been Petra's passion.
After working as a lawyer for 10 years, Petra found her love again in Reformer Pilates, Zumba and Personal Training and opened her Boutique studio in London.
After living abroad for 14 years, it was time to return to her old beloved student city Maastricht to introduce her new concept and convey the joy that exercise can give you and thus create a healthier and happier life.
With her unique concept of "Immersive Pilates®" she appeals to all the senses in her studio, using visual effects, so that the workout becomes a real experience!
Petra is certified as a personal trainer, STOTT ® Mat Pilates and Dynamic Reformer Pilates trainer, Total Barre instructor and Zumba instructor (see link for more info). She ran her Reformer Studio practice in London in collaboration with a physiotherapist and podiatrist so that a nice cross-pollination was created and training was safe.
Finally, she is registered with the European Register of Exercise Professionals.
Get ready for a new way of exercising!

Kim
Reformer Pilates Instructor
She was already on the ballet floor at the age of three, inspired by her mother and aunt. From her teenage years she fell in love with all forms of ballet.
With 15 years of experience in a show ballet performing both at home and abroad, she has a rich background in dance.
After completing her education as a teacher of classical and jazz ballet, she took over the ballet school of her old ballet teacher at the age of 25. Now, almost 25 years later, she runs it with great success and passion. She gives ballet and HIT trainings there.
After training twice a week on the Reformer for years, she enthusiastically started at the ZES Academy.
On the reformer she knows how to combine her love for movement and dance in a unique experience.
She can't wait to welcome you to her class with great pleasure!
Renee
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Renee has a background as a professional tennis player and discovered the power of Pilates two years ago as a perfect addition to her training. Since then she has been completely enthusiastic about this method and therefore decided to train as a Reformer Pilates instructor to refine her knowledge and technique.
A social and energetic person, she enjoys sharing her passion for Reformer Pilates with others. She may not be in the studio often due to other commitments, but when she is, she brings her energy and enthusiasm to give members a fun and powerful Reformer Pilates experience!
Weronika
Reformer Pilates Instructor
Weronika is a psychology student at Maastricht University with a lifelong passion for movement. She was a professional snowboarder and multiple national champion in Poland, and a dedicated dancer, until a knee injury changed her path. Instead of distancing herself from movement, she shifted her focus to helping others. In 2024, she obtained her European certifications (EQF Level 3 and 4) as a personal trainer and fitness instructor, allowing her to guide people through recovery and introduce them to movement.
For Weronika, training is so much more than just moving: it’s about community, good music, positive energy and growth. That’s what drew her to ZES Academy, where she discovered that Reformer Pilates brings together everything she values most: strength, flexibility and mindfulness. Now she wants to help others move with joy and confidence.

She holds certifications as a Mat Pilates Instructor, Fitness Trainer, 200-hour Yoga Teacher, Group Fitness Trainer, and Indoor Cycling Instructor, and is always looking for ways to help people move in a way that feels good.
When she tried Reformer Pilates, she was instantly hooked. She loves how it combines strength, balance and flexibility in a fluid and conscious way.

Whether you are new or experienced, she will guide you through a session that will leave you feeling strong, balanced and refreshed. Join a session and experience the benefits for yourself!
