Fuerza Pilates

"I have been taking Pilates at this lovely studio for nearly a year and a half. Instructors are experienced and engaging, the equipment is excellent, and location is perfection, nestled into the heart of downtown Madeira!"

"This studio is terrific. Heidi has created a pleasant and fun atmosphere with a group of wonderful teachers who offer challenging classes and that also accommodate everyone’s needs and levels. There’s great care in addressing form and helping clients both get stronger, and use Pilates to work on issues like pain and injuries. My weekly classes at Fuerza have changed my body and are good for my mind. Highly recommended."

"I can’t say enough great things about Heidi and this studio. It is a very laid back, supportive and encouraging atmosphere - every single time, regardless of who your instructor is. It’s the perfect place whether you are new to Pilates or have been doing it for years. The instructors will meet you exactly where you are each time but at the same time will still encourage you to try something new that you didn’t think you had in you. Spoiler alert: most days you find out that you do in fact have it in you to try something new. But even on days you don’t, you will always be celebrated for showing up and giving it your best."

"Fuerza Pilates has consistently provided challenging sessions with knowledgeable instructors that care about each individual in class. Heidi does an amazing job of working with me to tweak my movement, intensity and form allowing me to improve my practice with each class!"

"This is hands down one of the best Pilates studios I have been to. The instructors are amazing and the owner Heidi is a complete gem. I’m so lucky I found this place!"
