Our Pilates Instructors – Studio 2 Pilates

Romy Sacks – Studio Owner

I discovered the Pilates method after being involved in a car accident which left me with chronic whiplash. As someone who was always serious about fitness, I needed to find a suitable exercise method that would not only keep me strong and active but would also provide me with much-needed rehabilitation.

I tried various methods of training but didn’t get any satisfactory results until my physiotherapist recommended that I try Pilates. From my first class, I was hooked and within weeks I could feel the change in my body.

This life-changing experience made me a passionate promoter of Pilates so training as a Pilates instructor seemed the natural thing to do. I take great pleasure in the fact that I can spend my days sharing with others what helped me so much in my life.

I come from a professional ballet background and was introduced to Pilates as part of my classical training.

I have also been a Pilates Master trainer and lecturer for many years.

After teaching Pilates for 20 years and running my own studio in Pretoria for 10 years, I’ve decided it is time to come home to Cape Town!

Gilly Eddles – Instructor

I started Pilates as a form of recovery after multiple sports injuries and I have never looked back. Pilates changed the way my body moved, becoming stronger, more mobile, and most importantly less injury-prone.

Training as an instructor was one of the best things I’ve done and I’ve loved helping clients grow from strength to strength. Working with a physio bought me a deeper understanding of the body, with a focus on using Pilates as a tool for injury prevention and keeping your body happy and mobile for years to come.
