“CHANGE HAPPENS THROUGH MOVEMENT AND MOVEMENT HEALS.”
- JOSEPH PILATES
Isabel is an excellent instructor who has not only helped me to recover after surgery, but has given me the confidence and the tools to be an even stronger version of myself.
I am stronger now than I have ever been, and I credit Isabel with my progress. She took the time to get to know me and she definitely has "magic hands" - she just knows where the stress is in my body and how to correct it. Her teaching and encouragement have been essential for me and she makes a point of showing you how pilates movements can really change the way you move your body. I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with her - she really is a wonderful, caring person who truly cares about you as a whole individual. Anyone would be lucky and privileged to be her student!
-ALEESHA
Isabel is my favourite pilates instructor -
she has an incredible range of knowledge and when my family were in town, I knew I wanted to take them to visit her. I decided to do a private class with my mum and sister and was not disappointed - she knew how to cater to each of us so we all felt the benefits, despite our different physical capabilities. Excellent teacher, and I can't wait to do another class with her!

"I have seen Isabel on a weekly basis for about 4 months to help with pain and mobility issues that I have as a result of severe scoliosis"
Since seeing her, I have developed my muscle strength to a point where my spine is supported by my body and I rarely have any pain. She has shown me how to take my practice outside of the studio and incorporate life changing techniques and exercises in my daily life. I am so grateful for her knowledge on healing injuries and ailments because it has changed the future of my health and quality of life.
-GABY
"I have been doing private pilates with Isabel for a little over 3 months and there is an obvious and noticeable difference in my strength, flexibility, and posture."
Isabel perfectly scaffolds sessions so that I experience the perfect combination of rigor and mindfulness. She is open to feedback and will modify movements on the spot to accommodate my body and how I am feeling that day. Her positive personality is infectious and motivates me to push through even the most difficult of exercises. I leave every session feeling refreshed, relaxed, and connected to my body in a personalized way that group classes cannot provide!
-SAMANTHA
I've been training with Isabel all through covid virtually.
Her training has transformed my fitness. I was suffering from a variety of sports injuries that prevented me from running or going kayaking. Her knowledge of Anatomy and constantly changing workout regimen has allowed me to start these activities again. Also, my abs have never looked better!
-ALEXANDRE
I have loved working with Isabel.
I noticed an immediate difference after just one session in my breathing, posture, and core strength. Isabel's training really helped me get out of the COVID and work-from-home slump. We have a great time doing creative and interesting movements - each session has been really fun!
-ANNIE
Isabel is fabulous to work with.
She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to identify the root problem of your pain, explain it to you and develop a tailored treatment plan. She was very patient when teaching me the exercises I should do at home to speed my recovery. I can't recommend her enough. She is not only a great professional, but also a kind and approacheable therapist that will go above and beyond to help her patients!
-CRISTINA VEGA
As I was getting ready for my very first Broad Street Run (and my very first 10 miles), I was very anxious about the weather, the distance, and whether my body will be able to handle it.
So I called Isabel a few days prior and asked if she could see me on Saturday to help me stretch and get prepared. And even though she had a full day of work already scheduled, Isabel said yes! I came over on Saturday evening and in just 30 minutes, she showed me the simplest moves (I cannot believe I didn’t know or do them already) that literally made me feel looser and better almost instantaneously! And because Isabel can read a human body like a magician, she also pointed out things that I need to work on that I didn’t even know I had issues with!
-Valeria
Great space and a really perfect experience. Isabel is a body work genius😀😀👍🎉

"You can tell this studio’s community is driven by an authentic love for building the mind-body-soul connection."
What a gorgeous studio! The building is filled with stunning natural light, and there are luxurious candles on each floor that smell heavenly and create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming, and Elona was spectacular! Her expertise and passion truly shone as she led us through a class that was equal parts fun, challenging, and empowering. You can tell this studio’s community is driven by an authentic love for building the mind-body-soul connection. Highly recommend!
-LYN SYLK
"I can’t recommend this studio enough. I always look forward to class."
I have done my research to find a really good studio. I have been coming here for a few months now. For yoga, mat pilates and sculpt. All the classes are great and challenging. All the teachers are so nice too. The environment is calm and welcoming. I can’t recommend this studio enough. I always look forward to class.
-MARINA COHEN
"SOLMAR is a welcome, accessible, and all around great spot to start a journey to better fitness & well being!
I'm a huge fan of SOLMAR. As a gentleman, I have struggled over the years to find a studio that is comfortable and welcoming, without overdoing it (basically someplace I don't feel out of place). I've really found it at SOLMAR. I started with a one-on-one pilates session, then moved on to the group sessions (the group is only 4 at most, which is perfect). Each instructor I've had (4 now) has been welcoming and kind; while striking just the right balance of constructive instruction without making me feel like I'm doing it wrong or being talked down to. They've all been just perfect, which I would attribute to excellent leadership of the owner! I know Isabel is very passionate about training and empowering her instructors with her vision and ethos, and it clearly shows.
-CHRIS HARNISH
"All the classes I’ve joined so far have been very enjoyable as someone who is new to Pilates."
I found the studio walking by on South Street and signed up for their New Client Package. Isabel was wonderful to chat to during the new client assessment and provided some great feedback that was specifically for my body and what I hope to accomplish in my fitness/health journey. All the classes I’ve joined so far have been very enjoyable as someone who is new to Pilates. The instructors are very kind, offer variations based on your individual needs, and are very attentive to each person in their class.
-SARAH
"I’ve been telling everybody I know about Solmar!"
I only joined Solmar a couple of weeks ago, but my experience so far has gotten me so excited to keep going back and working on my fitness goals. Isabel, the founder, has been very communicative and easy to reach when needed. The mat Pilates instructors have been great and so encouraging when they see you having trouble with something. I also loved that I was easily able to include my SIL who was visiting from out of town.
