Our instructor

“I am inspired by the philosophy of authentic Pilates, which consists of adapting the method to the specific needs of each person. That is why I only do individual sessions that allow me to customise the exercises and focus my attention on each person who comes to the studio, as the master Joseph Pilates used to do. I enjoy helping people achieve their personal goals and seeing how their quality of life improves after each training session, making Pilates part of their lifestyle”.

Hugo Montoya is a certified teacher of the Romana’s Pilates Method. He trained for two years under the tutoring of Javier Pérez Pont, a worldwide reference on the Pilates Method and the only representative of Romana’s Pilates in Spain.

As a certified instructor with the Romana´s Pilates® Diploma, Hugo Montoya has completed a much more rigorous and comprehensive training programme than that offered by other organisations. He has followed an intensive training at the Teacher Training School and has completed several theoretical, oral and practical exams to achieve a high quality of the teaching, preserving the integrity of the authentic Pilates Method.

Before, Hugo Montoya worked for 15 years as logistics coordinator for the medical-humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders, offering his technical knowledge for the benefit of people affected by conflicts, epidemics, nutritional crises or natural disasters in countries such as Angola, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Colombia and Zimbabwe. In between humanitarian assignments, he worked for Osakidetza, the public health services of the Basque Country (Spain).
