What people are saying.

  • I attended both Chiara and Alessia’s classes during the third trimester of my pregnancy up until the week my son was born. I loved the classes - they were both so attentive and very knowledgable and professional. It significantly helped manage the SI pain I had during pregnancy and helped maintain my strength - thank you!

  • Chiara is classically trained and knows exactly how to tailor sessions to suit where you are in terms of level but also to help you advance and build strength over time. She is amazing at describing what the body and muscles are doing and she helps you really connect with your body. Chiara listens carefully, is so warm and friendly and each session is always very tailored. Not only have I built core strength and increased flexibility, I have also not needed to keep up physio and have also had less headaches! So positive results all round! I couldn't recommend Chiara enough! Xx

  • 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.

  • Chiara is such a brilliant teacher! I have been going to her classes for a year and her dedication never changes. She loves working with all different kind of body, experience levels and really tailors classes and exercises to everyone's needs or wish to push and develop. The ultimate feel-good workout!

  • I love this Pilates studio for its focus on health, amazing trainers, and plenty of laughter. I always look forward to Alessia’s classes, knowing I’ll leave feeling better than when I arrived.

    Oksana S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • I spent almost 3 years, first being introduced to Pilates as part of rehab for a shoulder injury to becoming a regular practitioner all under Chiara’s amazing guidance. She has a fantastic way of helping me understand how to connect with my body and get the most out of the exercises. Chiara was also key in helping me through my first pregnancy. Brilliant teacher, great knowledge and experience. I really couldn’t recommend her enough!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
