Miquel is amazing! Great one on one lessons which have improved my posture, body awareness and strength in other aspects of my life. The floor Pilates class on Thursday mornings is also great, I can’t recommend this studio enough. If you’re a human with a body, Pilates at Contrology is for you.
After some research I waited for an assessment with Miquel & so that I can learn the proper foundations of Pilates I booked a few sessions with him to reap the full benefits. Now I have a glimpse of what Pilates is correctly (as the last time I trialed this with someone else it was not this in depth or thorough) - so it’s very core and proper form focused so that you can learn how to maneuver your body towards a pain/injury free life. I come from a mild running and strength training background so I am learning how difficult, different and how beneficial Pilates can be.

My health took a turn where I did not expect it. After some research and discussion with my physical therapist Pilates was recommended. After digging through bios and reviews there were several incredibly positive reviews from Miquel so I booked my initial assessment with him- it aligned with everything I just learned with what my body is doing from PT. I believe as a newcomer you need some private sessions to understand the foundation, form and technique so I'm purchasing a few sessions to trial. (Also my life in the bay is temporary otherwise I would commit to something more long term.) I still have a lot to learn but so far I've noticed this training method is very core and form specific. Slow and controlled learning how to move my body better and prevent injury. It leaves me on the struggle bus because my body is just torn down and in strength training the approach is different depending on the movement. Although this journey just started for me I can tell and appreciate Miquel for really knowing his craft. He is personable and patient as there are some movements I don't quite comprehend and need extra instruction and he remains calm.
