What our clients say

If you’re truly seeking depth in Pilates, SmartBody is absolutely the place to go. The teaching, the training programs... everything is conducted with great care and dedication by highly skilled instructors. I can’t imagine there’s another place that offers this level of focus and intensity.
Mirjam
If you are looking for some serious Pilates, this is the place in Amsterdam. Teachers are well trained, they have a passion for body movement, and they all have their own style of teaching. After every class, I feel stronger, longer and happy. Pilates gives me focus, a better breathing/strength combination and stretching of the muscles.
Nathalie
I succesfully conducted my mat and reformer teacher training at Smartbody! The bar during the training was set high. There was a lot of individual attention. Every lesson I could feel the passion for pilates and the Smartbody teaching principles! If you are considering taking a teacher training at Smartbody - do it! You will not regret it.

After struggling for years with back, shoulder and neck problems, discovering Alexander Technique was like a miracle. Not only has it drastically reduced my pain; I feel now that I know how to deal with pain when it recurs and take the necessary steps to reduce tension and stress on my own.
Francesca de ChatelResearcher
Classical Pilates taught by professional teachers with an enormous knowledge of the anatomy of the body. I've been a student at Smartbody for over 8 years and I have a long and strong body and feel more flexible and healthy. I've been training over 2 years with them online classes and it doesn't feel much different then being in the studio.
Wendy
Absolutely love this place! I have been taking private lessons with the amazing Kristen. She is such a gem. No more hip pains, less tension in my body and actually enjoying these movements. They are open, body inclusive, super professional and most importantly kind and fun. Highly, highly recommend to start Pilates here.
Eliza
Smartbody Pilates is THE place to be for pure pilates. After 70 years of doing yoga and sports Diana teaches me very precisely and very dedicated the fundamentals of pilates and how to connect body and mind. She opens a new world and changes my walk through life 🙂
Piet-Heijn
From working with Patrick at Smartbody I’m really getting in shape – walking taller, standing straighter, projecting more physical presence – and all by releasing and relaxing.
Tim GordonAccountant
Beautiful serene studio which feels magical as soon as you step in. The classes have a human and intimate scale which allows the teachers to really pay attention to each participant. I am a beginner in Pilates and find it usually hard to commit to a routine but Jelena makes the practice fun and challenging and I am hooked only after a few weeks 🙂
Simon
I discovered Smartbody about 18 months ago. I had knee surgery and found Pilates helped significantly with my recovery and rehabilitation. I highly recommend SmartyBody. Jelena and the teachers are high quality and keep health and wellness front and centre in their approach.
Lucy
I started with Smartbody few months ago for prenatal Pilates private training. I was searching for professional guidance and protected place to be during pregnancy. I truly enjoy all my sessions with Diana Jaspers. She is not only super knowledgeable and passionate about pilates, but also caring and always comfort me through this pregnancy journey.
XueZhu
I am so glad for chosen Smartbody studio. Never had done Pilates before but I was looking for something to help me reduce my lower back pain and improve my posture. Both mat and reformer lessons have helped me a lot. Also works as a self-care activity, helping me to relax mentally. Teachers are amazing and knowledgeable!
Camilla
I did the 12 week reformer foundation training through Smartbody and it was fantastic. This is a very classical reformer training that leaves you really strong in both your practice and your teaching skills. Could not be more happy with my experience!
