"My first taste of pilates was during my Crossfit Bootcamp back in 2021, and Marta was my coach. Our class begged Marta to use one of our classes to introduce us to pilates. We thought it might be a relaxing break from Crossfit....it was not.... I was hooked from the start! Not only did I join Crossfit, but I also started pilates classes. It was Marta who encouraged me and inspired me to do both. Marta has been running her own pilates studio for about 2 decades, and it shows. She effortlessly leads her class through each of the pilates moves, and her expert eyes catch even the smallest adjustment in your positioning to ensure you are getting the most out of each class. She makes the effort to get to know everyone in her class and is genuinely interested in each student. She pushes you, because she knows your potential, but she also knows when maybe your body is needing a bit of a break and allows you to go at your own pace. Her knowledge of the human body is spectacular, and she has helped me get back to my fitness goals after various health issues. Classes are varied, so that each class uses different accessories, so you are always progressing. Her classes are filled with knowledge and she has built a community with her students, some have been with her for 20 years, and the rest of us hope to be with her for 20 years. COVID brought a pivot to online, and her community followed her. Her move to Burketon Station to her dream home, and at home pilates studio, has done the same! Looking forward to trying out the new studio overlooking her herd of Alpacas."

There are SO many wonderful things I could say about Pilates Clarington…could actually gush for hours.
Marta is such a gem! She is passionate about wellness, extremely knowledgeable about the body and TRULY invested in the betterment of her clients. She IS an all round wonderfully beautiful person!
When Marta and I started working together, my body was very weak and fascia was painfully tight. I didn’t know where to even begin.
She flowed with how different each side of my body works. Noticed things I couldn’t see and came-up with a plan to get my body right.
You can’t go wrong with Marta! Do yourself/body a favour. You’ll find out how much better it is to be in a tuned/toned body again.
Marta IS the BEST around, in my honest opinion.

I have been doing Pilates with Marta for 15 years and thoroughly enjoy it. Marta is very patient with “Pilates newbies” making the first few classes less daunting. Marta makes the classes fun using a variety of equipment and techniques. She also is very cognizant of any physical issues or limitations you might have and makes appropriate modifications. I am hoping to continue Pilates with Marta for many years to come!

Marta creates a very relaxed environment in her classes. She engages with class participants in a way that puts us at ease, while simultaneously having a sharp eye for proper form that allows for maximum benefit. Her extensive experience and equipment allows her to access dozens of creative options to keep classes interesting and effective. It’s an hour well spent for sure.

I had the pleasure of attending Marta’s Pilates classes, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Marta, is truly exceptional. Her knowledge and expertise were evident as she guided me through a variety of exercises, making sure to adapt them to my specific needs, as I was recovering from a shoulder surgery.
Marta's attention to detail and focus on proper form made me feel safe and confident throughout the session. She provided clear and encouraging instructions, ensuring that I got the most out of each exercise while preventing any strain on my healing shoulder. I was amazed at how Pilates could be so effective for rehabilitation.
The class was a perfect balance of challenge and relaxation, leaving me feeling both invigorated and centred by the end.
I highly recommend her Pilates class, especially if you're recovering from an injury or looking to improve your overall strength and flexibility. Marta's expertise and the studio's welcoming environment create a winning combination for an excellent Pilates experience.

My introduction to pilates and to Marta was in 2013. I had really hurt myself due to a fall off a horse and private pilates with Marta was just what I needed.
Marta is a very caring and knowledgeable pilates teacher. She really helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses and tailors her instruction to ensure you build strength, knowledge and confidence. Marta also coached and encouraged me at Crossfit Pickering. Crossfit was a new adventure for me and it was awesome.
Marta is an excellent teacher/coach and is always looking to improve your skills and strength is a very safe and supportive way. I not only have experienced small class pilates with Marta but now I maintain my skills with her via virtual pilates and have just started semi private pilates with her at her new studio.
Once you try a class with Marta, you are hooked! Give it a try. You'll be amazed at how much you learn and improve.
Tania R. :
I took Pilates regularly for over a year to help strengthen my core after a back injury. Marta is highly knowledgeable about Pilates and provided many modifications for me and my back. Her expertise ensured that every participant, regardless of experience, could benefit from the class and each movement. After attending classes regularly I did notice significant core strength that improved my posture and back injury. I truly looked forward to attending class each week due to the positive and fun atmosphere.
