Studio Pilates Playfit By Marina Markovic

Somehow, life is like rolling a pair of dice: it takes positive energy from the person rolling them to make them land on matching numbers. After 17 years in a senior-level position, I began to feel that it was time to dedicate more time to myself and resign from my job. The idea of practising Pilates had already started to nest in my mind several months before I made that decision. When I started my research, I did not know much about Pilates. However, I knew exactly what I was looking for: an instructor with expert knowledge and a strong, confident approach – someone capable of bringing out the best in every client. I also had a very clear idea of what I did not want: Pilates studios that present themselves as “premium” simply because of their glossy appearance, without demonstrating genuine expertise, dedication, and focus. I wanted the best, and I knew immediately when I discovered MATPilates Studio. It felt wonderfully old-school: located on a cosy, tree-lined street, with a bright and spotless studio equipped with high-quality professional apparatus and only two minutes from my home. Another major advantage was the studio’s focus on injury rehabilitation and working with special populations. My goal was “simple”: to rehabilitate myself physically through the classes so that I could also begin to recover mentally. Marina is exceptionally focused and dynamic. Every class is planned in advance according to the client’s individual needs. She holds STOTT PILATES® certifications, and there are absolutely NO breaks! Always pushing for more :) The exercises rarely repeat, and the number of modifications seems endless. Marina always finds a way to add an extra challenge and “sweeten” the class. It is just as I mentioned: energies always find a way to align. One of Marina’s favourite things to say is: “When you think you can’t, push a little more” – usually while sweat is pouring from your forehead and your legs are performing their own shaky choreography. 😄 Thank you, Marina, for welcoming me into the world of Pilates and for sharing your vision, knowledge, and time with me. I am now officially addicted to the Pilates method – digging through articles about its history and constantly studying exercises. I highly recommend starting with at least two classes per week – no excuses! Before long, you will find yourself attending three, four, or even five times a week. :)

Došao sam zbog problema sa kičmom zbog pretežno sedenternog stila života, a sada se osećam fit kao što čini mi se nikada u životu nisam bio. Treninzi su mi zaista pomogli da se osećam bolje, a primećujem da dosta bolje i izgledam :D

I have tried various online programs and trainings, but MAT Pilates really stands out from the rest with its offer because of the possibility that in addition to online trainings, you can also come for a personal consultation where all the most common mistakes in exercises and posture correction will be explained to you in a really pleasant atmosphere. I was really impressed with the service so I have to leave a comment. Best regards and all recommendations!!

Very pleasant atmosphere, trainers take great care of their students, know exactly who has what problem and really listen to our bodies... I've never done any sports, because I didn't like aerobics, fitness, or gyms... I would go to 2 training sessions and give up... and I've been here for a year... That means something! When I come the most tired, I leave the most rested... all thanks to Marina and Vera... If there was a rating of 10, I would give it a ten like a big door 💪🏻👏🏼❤️🔟🔝
