Our Pilates equipment is designed to offer low-impact workouts that cater to all fitness levels, enhancing flexibility, balance, and strength with adjustable resistance.
Pilates apparatus can also create advanced, challenging training for athletes often needed to counteract and balance overuse or muscular patterns from specific sports.
The Pilates Reformer is ideal for conditions like osteoporosis or those just beginning their fitness journey. The unique design provides horizontal and seated weight-bearing workouts that minimize the risk of injury associated with vertical weight-bearing activities.
We can adjust the Pilates apparatus infinitely to provide gentle, pain-free movement and progression.
Joseph Pilates invented the Trapeze Table apparatus by attaching springs to hospital beds. He had bed-ridden patients move and correct their muscular conditions using bedsprings as resistance while lying down.

Pilates offers a spectrum of intensity –from safe and gentle routines to challenging and vigorous ones. Every client brings unique needs, injuries, goals, and starting points. My expertise is enriched by specialized training in backcare, body misalignments, pregnancy, pelvic health, and osteoporosis management.
My practice benefits from a close mentorship with a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a seasoned Pilates instructor.
I advocate for a cautious methodology, collaborating with clients to engage medical professionals, movement experts, and physical therapists. Where necessary, we integrate specialized education and research to tailor a Pilates program that's effective and mindful of your well-being.

Pilates stands apart from high-impact exercises, general stretching, and unsupervised weight training by focusing on precise, healing movements designed to rejuvenate your body. With additional work in Trauma Informed Pilates, the mind-body connection and nervous system overwhelm from trauma, often results in changes. There's no pressure to "get it right", but rather adapt to heal and restore balance in body and mind. Correcting imbalances, starting fitness later in life, Pilates makes it possible for anyone to improve flexibility, blance and strength safely.

All Levels: Super Fit to Out of Shape and Active Agers
Enjoy many studios, outdoor classes, talented instructors and approaches to Pilates in Marseille!
Comprehensively Balanced Body Trained Instructor (MBA and Tech Exec) passionate about Pilates
Affiliated with a US Doctor of Physical Therapy, Strong Focus on Safety First, Pain Free, Happy Pilates
Hello I’m Roberta Louise
My own 18 year Pilates journey, becoming stronger, leaner and pain-free from long-term back (herniated disc) pain, healing a broken rib and fractured foot motivated me to heal myself and heal others and transition to a second career as a Pilates instructor, after an MBA and decades as a US / Canadian technology executive.
I have thousands of hours of private and group personal practice focused on Balanced Body methods at renowned studios in New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Marseille and beyond. I’ve successfully trained aging students with osteoporosis, knee, hip, mobility, Parkinson’s, core and balance challenges.
I am a comprehensively certified instructor of the Balanced Body method in the US, and a member of la FPMP, Fédération des Professionnels de la Méthode Pilates in France. I continue my own personal practice with mentors in Marseille, as I finish my formation (training) to fully certify in France. I am most passionate about teaching one to one Private Pilates and helping all levels, especially out of shape and beginners and active agers to look and feel better and regain flexibility, balance, strength and confidence.
As we age, not everyone strives to be super fit or enjoys (or can do) the same type of exercise as we did when younger, but I have seen how quality of life is greatly improved with Pilates movement. I am also a passionate open water swimmer, and urban flaneur. I enjoy restorative yoga and enriching my French language skills.
