"Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things."

-Joseph Pilates

You've now entered your Reformer Pilates Era--A new chapter where you can have complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. 

About us

Michelle Reed is a certified Pilates instructor with Pilates Instructor Academy in all-apparatus. She worked in three different Pilates studios in the U.S. before moving to beautiful Altea, Spain, which has her heart. Michelle is also trained in yoga, massage, and nutritional health coaching. She is the best-selling author of 6 books and is a former journalist and TV personality. 

 

After two giant cysts in her spine temporarily paralyzed her, Michelle discovered that private Pilates Reformer sessions were the only thing that truly helped rehabilitate her. She went from learning to walk again, to private sessions, to group classes, and finally completed an arduous Pilates teacher training and mentoring via Pilates Grup in St. Petersburg, Florida. She filled in as manager when her supervisor was out sick, as Michelle had owned and managed a yoga studio previously in California.

 

Michelle soon became the strongest and most fit she's EVER been in her entire life, and she discovered that teaching Pilates was her life's purpose and passion (along with writing books).

 

Michelle was moving her commercial grade Elina Reformer with Tower into her home in Altea when she decided to ask Fabi of Fabi's Fitness to help her and her husband lift the heavy boxes. Fabi was recovering from some of his own back injuries, and offered to let her rent a large vacant room inside his gym! 

 

Michelle will formally launch Mpower Pilates at its new gym location starting 1 July 2025. Eventually we will offer yoga classes and massage as well. Please follow us on Instagram and Facebook @mpowerpilates.altea for the latest updates and, of course, a Grand Opening Party! I am obviously English speaking but also estoy aprendiendo español, so patient Spanish speakers are welcome. :)
