About me

Shape Izabela Olek

My name is Izabela. I am a Pilates and Yogalates instructor living in Antwerp, with a huge passion for health and fitness.

Let me invite you to my LADIES ONLY Pilates, Yogalates, and Shape & Burn sessions.



My style

I am a patient and encouraging teacher who likes to make classes fun, varied, dynamic, and—at the intermediate level—challenging.

My classes are small, friendly, and personal. This means I can focus on quality rather than quantity and give everyone the attention they deserve. I can therefore offer a more personalised experience than a larger, gym-style class. Each session is tailored to my clients’ overall fitness levels and goals, as well as the ongoing feedback I encourage.

I conduct my classes in Polish and English (mixed).

Before you start classes with me, let me know what goals you’d like to achieve—I’ll support you in making them a reality (although change won’t happen overnight!).


About me

Aside from Pilates and Yogalates, I love weight training, cardio, and yoga. I enjoy drawing inspiration from these disciplines to add a functional and creative dimension to my teaching. I am also an avid meditator and believe in the importance of using breath and mindful movement to balance our busy, stressful lives.

Pilates has truly revolutionised my life. It has improved not only my posture, core strength, and muscle tone, but also my overall mental and physical wellbeing. I hope you will experience its benefits too after attending my classes. :)

See you soon! 🌿

MAT PILATES - LADIES ONLY

MAT PILATES - LADIES ONLY

“The Pilates Method teaches you to be in control of your body and not at its mercy.”

Joseph Pilates


What is Pilates?

Pilates is a form of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It’s a low-impact workout that focuses on controlled movements, usually performed on a mat. At the time, Joseph called his method Contrology and designed it primarily for rehabilitation — especially for soldiers and dancers.

It’s based on 34 original exercises that target your core and improve your posture. Pilates is gentle on your joints yet challenging for your muscles. It helps you build core strength, flexibility, and range of motion, allowing you to move through your day with greater ease.

And if you’re looking to enhance your athletic performance — Pilates can help with that too!

But wait, there’s more!

Pilates isn’t just a physical workout — it’s also a wonderful practice for your mental health. By focusing on controlled movements, conscious breathing, and mindfulness, you can reduce stress and tension while improving your overall sense of wellbeing.

YOGALATES - LADIES ONLY

YOGALATES - LADIES ONLY

Yogalates is a beautiful combination of the gentle stretch and mindfulness of yoga with the core-strengthening and posture-enhancing elements of Pilates.

It’s quite simply the perfect East-meets-West fitness class, bringing together the benefits of both yoga and Pilates. You’ll leave feeling energised, calm, and perfectly stretched in all the right places!

A Yogalates class may include popular yoga postures such as Downward-Facing Dog, the Warrior poses, and Sun Salutations, along with stretching and intense core and abdominal work. Some exercises may use props such as blocks, resistance bands, or light weights to intensify the effect. Depending on the teacher and style, Yogalates may also include breathing exercises, guided mindfulness, and relaxation. There is always a strong focus on alignment.

Alongside the shared benefits of yoga and Pilates, Yogalates is particularly effective for improving muscle tone, developing a slimmer and stronger physique, and even supporting weight management.

SHAPE AND BURN (Cardio + Strength training) - LADIES ONLY

SHAPE AND BURN (Cardio + Strength training) - LADIES ONLY

My SHAPE AND BURN classes are one of the best ways to combat stubborn body fat while improving muscular strength and stamina.

All major muscle groups are strengthened through moderately intense exercises performed to music.

We often use light weights or elastic dyna-bands to add resistance.

If you and your muscles are already in good condition, this class is an excellent way to maintain your fitness level and keep your body strong and toned.

The workout focuses on strengthening the thighs, glutes, and abdominal muscles while burning calories. It’s also highly adaptable—you can easily adjust the difficulty level to suit your individual needs.

📍 Ruggeveldlaan 645, 2100 Deurne
