Service: Provided physiotherapy sessions for back and neck pain
I had a good experience with Wesley for my back and neck pain. I saw him a few times and he was very professional and friendly, explaining exactly what he was doing step by step and what I might feel during the pressure and afterward. He also gave me info for after the sessions, and after two days I had no pain at all. I really recommend him.

Service: Dance fitness class instruction at a gym
Dafne teaches a dance fitness class at my gym called Dance Feeder, and it’s amazing. She’s patient, has a very good attitude, does a proper warm-up, and it’s a good time and we sweat - I wish I can dance like that. There are two classes right now - Monday at 6 and Thursday - and she even asked everyone about the schedule to make it work, plus she starts on time but is flexible if the group chat says folks are running late. Price feels very affordable, and we’re even learning a routine for an 80s and 90s party where the DJ will play our song and we’ll all jump in like a little mob dance; she switches between Portuguese and English which helps.

Service: Private reformer pilate sessions on Karin's studio or at my home, once a week for about an hour
For more than two years, I've been attending private Pilates sessions with Karin, and it's been an incredible experience. She creates a comforting and personalized environment, always ensuring that we use the right muscles and taking special care of my back and neck issues. The sessions have transformed my flexibility and strength, striking a perfect balance between progress and challenge, all while maintaining a positive and calming atmosphere.

Service: Online 1:1 workouts focusing on weight loss
Working out was never my thing, but Andrea changed that for me. I've been training with her once a week for a year, and it's helped me feel stronger and more dynamic. Even though we do our sessions online while I'm in Paris, her attention to detail makes every session effective and engaging.

Service: Installed state-of-the-art gym facilities and provided high-quality yoga classes
I think the quality of the services and the install is the best I’ve seen in Lisbon. They put in a proper sauna and a cold plunge similar to a polar plunge, worked with Loud on the sound, and the teachers are top, with Cameron as head teacher who makes every class feel like a science class where a little light goes on and I discover how my body works. I used to do gyms in and out, now I grab a coffee, train, then do rehab with sauna and ice bath and end up spending two hours there most days. The weight training area isn’t huge and is more for personal trainer or guided training, which is fine, and the membership feels not expensive to me, though drop-ins can feel expensive.

Service: GyroTonic Fitness Instructor, Sophrologist
I've been with Bernardo since 2020, taking weekly sessions with my husband. He ensures everything is safe and caters to all ages, which I value greatly. The environment is welcoming and the price reflects the quality service he provides.
