I’ve been doing Pilates at Cascais Classical Pilates since January and absolutely love it. The team is professional, supportive, and deeply knowledgeable. Every class is excellent, but a special mention to Erina—she pushes you just enough to grow stronger and more confident.

Prior to starting Pilates with Cynthia, I had only tried a few reformer classes in London which never really clicked. From my initial session here, I could feel both physical and mental benefits. Highly recommend.
