Reinhard Michaels

Prior to my career as a Pilates instructor, I was an actor and dancer for 20 years.

I ran my own fitness company in New York as a personal trainer and teacher for 7 years.

During my time as a dancer, I injured myself during my last Broadway show (A Chorus Line) in New York and thought I would never dance again.

The diagnosis was that I had pulled all the ligaments in my left ankle and therefore could not put any stress on my left foot.

Pilates helped me rebuild my ankle and my foot got better and stronger. I gained a lot of agility, subtleness, flexibility and strength.

Not only did I start dancing again, I also took up other sports such as skiing, skating, rollerblading and running.

Since my accident I have practiced Pilates now for over 12 years on a daily basis and have come to love it so much that I decided to become a Pilates instructor myself.

Pilates Certified through Polestar Pilates UK in Mat and Studio
