Introductie

Nathalie is a Polestar Pilates Trainer and Personal Trainer (HvA) with a background in dance. For a long time she has worked as an instructor at many gyms across Amsterdam, teaching a variety of classes. In addition, she studied Graphic Design and works as a Graphic Designer and Motion Designer. She sees a big connection between her work as a designer and as an instructor: how can we turn something complex into someting simple and make it easy to understand? In her classes she combines her communication skills with dance, Pilates, and strength training. Her main motivations are curiosity and the drive to understand how things work for you: “Together we discover what your unique talents are and create a program that is perfectly tailored to you“

While studying at a dance academy in London, Nathalie came across Pilates due to an injury and discovered that despite being injured, you can still move with joy, which she feels, is essential. “As a student, I worked for many years within the hospitality industry in Amsterdam. Besides being an instructor, I also feel like a hostess in a way. I feel the need to entertain people, because enjoying your training is the best motivation there is.”
