It's been a long time since I've met someone who approaches their work with as much passion and dedication as Monika. Thanks to our regular Pilates sessions, I've been able to stop taking pain medication, no longer need rehabilitation, sick leave, or hospital referrals. And as an added bonus, I've gained a body I'm truly proud of—one that keeps getting stronger and healthier with every session—as well as a wonderful boost of endorphins that stays with me long after each workout.

I truly believe it's worth it. After all, investing in yourself is the best investment you can make.And it's even more rewarding when you're guided by an exceptional teacher like Monika.

I found Monika by chance while looking for something to help me regain strength after giving birth. Before that, I'd tried online fitness programs, spent a few years on and off at the gym, and attended group fitness classes.

It wasn't until I discovered Pilates that I finally found what I had been looking for. My body became leaner, the effects of spending years sitting at a computer—especially my chronic slouching—gradually disappeared, I felt more relaxed, and I even lost inches. I became much more aware of my body, and even my menstrual pain disappeared. I had originally come simply to strengthen my core after pregnancy, but I gained so much more.

Pilates taught me that the body should never be treated as separate parts but as one connected whole. I now understand that isolating muscles on gym machines isn't the path to building a truly strong body—one that supports you in everyday life.

Pilates gives back exactly what you put into it. That's why finding a teacher like Monika makes all the difference. She is a true educator who always looks for the right solution and carefully tailors each exercise to the individual, ensuring every session serves individual needs.

I've always loved staying fit, but I've never enjoyed repetitive workouts. No matter how good my gym membership was, my motivation would usually disappear after about three months. Actually, I should say all of that in the past tense.

Last August, I discovered Monika and Classical Pilates at The Pilates Studio Warsaw. I signed up for three months… and I'm still here. And I have no intention of leaving. For the first time in my life, I actually miss my workouts when the studio is closed on my usual Monday session.

Why Pilates? Because I can genuinely feel the difference. My breathing is deeper and more effortless, and I notice it every time I sing. When I go ski touring, windsurfing, or trail running, I suddenly have the strength and endurance I used to wish for.

Why Monika? Because she has the rare ability to be both incredibly caring and wonderfully focused. She knows exactly when you need encouragement, a kind word, or praise—and when you need a gentle push to work a little harder. I recommend her wholeheartedly—with all the strength in my core that I owe to her.

My urogynecological physiotherapist recommended Monika as the only person who could truly help me with my abdominal muscles and diastasis recti—and she was absolutely right.

Monika is demanding, but she explains everything so clearly that you always know exactly how to engage each muscle. After just a few sessions, I could already see real progress.

If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and can guide you step by step, I wholeheartedly recommend her.
