Coming from a strong sporting background in field hockey and tennis, early on, it was clear for me that my professional life would be spent in the area of sports one way or another. After hanging up my competitive training boots I moved to the UK from my native area, the Black Forest in Germany, to pursue a career in the fitness industry.

Working as a personal trainer for many high-end clubs in London I developed my unique way of connecting with my clientele and helping them achieve their personal fitness goals using a multitude of strength and conditioning modalities. It was in 2010 that I eventually entered the boutique group fitness domain when joining Heartcore Fitness in London where I was first introduced to the dynamic pilates method on the Lagree Proformer by Jess Schuring. Realising the methods’ effectiveness I spent many years teaching it at Heartcore and developed my own style over the years. During my time there I also created one of the first group TRX programmes in London as I felt it was a great progression and complement to the low impact dynamic pilates training style, but more athletic in nature.

After all this time spent in the “heat” of London...it was time for my family and I to look for a new and sunnier location to continue my efforts in helping people improve their overall health and fitness, using effective training techniques. Soon enough my partners and I realised there was a gap in the Dubai fitness offering and so the idea for Reform Athletica was born. Fast forward nearly 4 years after moving to Dubai and I am happy to say that we’ve been able to create an amazing team over the years delivering highly enjoyable and effective group classes as well as a beautiful studio and experience for the Dubai community in our Jumeirah studio. If you haven’t tried our classes or been to our studio yet, then I would love for you to come by and see and try for yourself and I will be more than happy to help you along the way. See you soon..

• Music you’ll hear in my class: In my classes you can expect a very house music influenced playlist with some hip hop or latin sounds thrown in for some flavour..
• Favorite treat meal: Treat meal is difficult as I enjoy all sorts of cuisine, but you’re probably hinting at the ‘treat meal’ being the new ‘cheat meal’, so ICE CREAM or a BURGER usually wins here..
• Netflix series I Iast binged: Late to the party I suppose, but I’m on the 3rd season of SUITS and I’m very much enjoying it
• What’s one thing about you that surprises people? Probably the fact that I’m not german even though I still carry a somewhat german accent from growing up there..

My name is Louise, I was born and raised in South Wales, UK and have called Dubai my home for the last 6 years. Prior to this I had the pleasure of travelling the world Dancing on Cruise Ships.

My interest in health and wellness began during my undergraduate studies at Portland State, where I studied Public Health. Fitness has been a major part of my life since childhood - I played basketball for 10 years, and going to the gym was always my favorite “me time.” My career in fitness began as a freelance personal trainer, and shortly after moving to Dubai, an opportunity came up to teach group fitness. Being quite introverted and soft-spoken I was initially hesitant, but I eventually went for it and found my voice and my place in the group fitness space; expanding my background from Strength and HIIT, to eventually being trained to teach the Reform Method. I’ve now stepped back from the teaching side of the fitness world and have been focusing on the behind the scenes work that goes in to help keep the studio running alongside an amazing team.

Hi! I'm your proudly Portuguese instructor, born and raised in Madeira Island.
I moved to Dubai in January 2019 and felt drawn towards the multicultural environment of this city.

My fitness journey started back in my teen years and that led to pursuing a degree in Physical Education & Sports, complemented with a Master's Degree in Teaching.
We are the result of different people that inspire us and I've had the privilege of learning from great mentors in school (P.E. class), in previous jobs and, undoubtedly, at Reform Athletica. Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be an idol for his ambition, determination and hard work.

I've always had a strong attachment to the Gulf and decided to move to Dubai in 2013 after having spent 5 years studying in Toronto.

Fitness, wellness and everything in between has been my life. It began with Pilates in Australia, complementing my ballet training, and continued throughout my years at The Royal Ballet School and over the duration of my professional, international ballet and dance career in Europe and Australia.

I completed my Diploma of Pilates, having taught, presented at conferences and educated throughout London and Sydney.

My introduction to Lagree was at Heartcore in London, where I was impressed with how it introduced me to a new perspective in strength training.

Hi I’m Jay!

It’s been quite the journey:

Blessed to have been raised in sunny South Africa, with the obligatory sticks of biltong (think beef jerky but better) and rugby ball in hand.

Having fallen short of my artistic goals as an oil painter - I decided to enrol at the local boxing gym to let off some steam and maybe build up my confidence! Within a year of my first introduction to boxing, I was hooked on fitness and had qualified as a Level 3 Personal Trainer.

In 12 years, I have gained qualifications in everything from tumbling on trampolines, to TRX, Pilates, Spinning, Kettlebells and EMS (Electro Muscular Stimulation). I’ve worked on cruise ships and have flown to many a bucket list destination, most recently finding myself training VIPs in Saudi Arabia.

This journey led me here, to RA in Dubai, where I’m excited to share all that I have learned with you.

Hey I’m Vicki! Born and bred in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. As a professional dancer performing onstage 8 shows a week, I gained a deep understanding of safe, effective movement. Aside to my dance training, Yoga and Pilates played a huge part in me sustaining a career in Theatre for 17 years. I’ve been lucky to travel the world whilst doing what I love, which has given me exposure to various styles of practice & the ability to learn from many great teachers/artists across the UK, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Asia & the USA.

The progression to teach, for me, was a natural one. I am extremely passionate about movement, the mind-body connection and having versatility in your chosen training methods. I hope to encourage you to bring absolute awareness to all of your daily movement, not only in the studio, so that you can learn to trust your body, and most of all - learn to love it.

Hi! My name is Hiba Abduljabbar, and no, I am not related to Kareem Abduljabbar, although that would be cool. However, I was on the varsity basketball team, if I must say :)

I am originally Iraqi, but I grew up in Washington DC, USA. I have been living in Dubai for 15 years and have visited every workout studio you could possibly think of as a gym fanatic.

Previously, I was an ABA therapist for young children and worked in a nursery as a principal for many years, but I left my full time job to be an indoor cycling instructor (my passion) which I have been doing for 8 years.

Before Megaformer was “a thing” in Dubai, I used to fly back to the states and visit as many of the Megaformer studios as I could- I would go everyday, sometimes twice a day. The first time I tried RA my heart skipped a beat (not literally) and I fell in love with the studio. Now, I have the opportunity to teach it and I am so excited because I hope I can make someone else fall in love with it as much as I did. I love helping and guiding people, and I cannot wait to meet you!

“I have always been interested in wellness and fitness, but it came as a surprise to me when this was the direction my career took!

My professional fitness journey started 7 years ago as a Barre instructor in Nairobi, Kenya. Having always loved the practice of yoga, I decided to complete my Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (500 hr) and after becoming a mother myself, I knew I needed to share my love of fitness with mothers and mothers-to-be, and studied Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga.

I have now added Lagree to my repertoire of fitness disciplines and I must say, I find myself slightly obsessed with it. If I am not teaching a class, you'll find me sneaking into one!

My style of teaching combines traditional and creative sequencing. I love planning my classes and ensure to give each class a unique flavour.”

• Birthday: 11 May
• Favorite holiday destination: I love to travel and explore new countries, food and cultures. If I had to choose 1 place that my heart connects to, it I would be Bali. And for some reason, Portugal is currently pulling many heartstrings (so I hope for it to be my next travel destination).

My journey with yoga began during my time in university when a friend invited me to join her for a yoga class. After experiencing the transformative benefits, almost instantly, and deepening my understanding of the practice, I felt called to share this practice with others, which inspired me to complete my yoga teacher training in India. Since then, I have completed additional trainings in breathwork and Anusara yoga, which I incorporate in my classes.

My teaching approach focuses on posture alignment and precision, inviting students to deepen their connection to themselves by fully experiencing the benefits of each pose. As someone who is passionate about understanding the human experience and helping others unlock their full potential through movement and breath, I left a career in tech and consulting to fully devote myself to this mission. My intention is to share my knowledge and help others feel strong, confident and grounded. Although I am originally from Syria, I consider the UAE My home. When I’m not teaching, you can find me exploring nature, reading and spending time with my loved ones.

I was born and raised in Brazil, and during all my childhood I've always been attached to moving my body, doing gymnastic, ballet, pilates, yoga, and even Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For that reason, I decided to graduate in Physiotherapy in one of the best universities of Brazil, and even before finishing me studies I was already teaching Pilates. Since then, I have never stopped. In 2021 I became certified in Yoga and continued teaching - and practicing - both modalities. My focus today is to use Pilates and Yoga to keep improving myself - trying to keep my body and mind healthier than yesterday - and helping my students to achieve the same objective. I moved to Dubai in late September 2022 and I feel very grateful to be part of the Reform Athletica, a place where I can fulfill my dreams while doing what I love the most.

As a full time dancer and performer, I’ve always appreciated how fitness challenged my body differently and heightened my sense of body awareness.

I’ve always thought that my dance training was enough and anything outside of the dance studio was just a waste of time. Up until a friend invited me to a barre class and I immediately fell in love with the energy of a group fitness class! After a few months of attending a various classes, I jumped on an opportunity to become a group fitness instructor (Barre and Zumba Fitness) and have never looked back since.

Fitness definitely opened doors of opportunities for me. In 2018, I was offered to work in Riyadh for a little over a year and then mid pandemic, I was invited to work in Dubai. Carrying the same eagerness that I had since I began my fitness trainer journey, I aim to continually inspire women to honor their strength and find joy in movement!

Hello! My name is Karen Ramento ,born and raised at the Heart of the Philippines “Tarlac City”.

I am a person who always see the beauty of everyday experiences. I call it cast of mind.

I just came here in Dubai last December 2021. I’ve been in a corporate world for 11 years, worked both in office administration and customer service. For me being a customer service is not just making a customer satisfied but to also ensure that they are “delighted” on the services we can offer, going beyond their expectations. I’m a people person since I took up Marketing Management where I build my PR skills and also do event organizing and hosting. I am also a fitness enthusiast ,I love joining marathon, biking and do my own workout (tabata/cardio) and now I’m loving the Reform method by RA. I will be supporting the Front of House and it’s a privilege for me to be part of the team.

I love to meet and talk to people, the reasons why I've been in the customer service field for 8 years now (since I started working). I believe that focusing on customer needs and building relationships are most important for delivering great customer experiences. I like making people laugh with my corny jokes (I guess). I enjoy hiking, camping and looking forward to doing my exercise using the Mega/Micro former in RA studio :)I will be joining the Front of House and I am so blessed to be part of an amazing team.

I’m Danicka Mae Reyes from the Philippines and I’m super excited to be part of Reform Athletica.

I’ve been in Dubai for almost 6 years. Since then, my work has been primarily focused on customer relationships and satisfaction. My experience in this field so far has truly made me believe that whatever you do, it’s important to do it with passion and courage and everything will fall into place. Along the way, this will give you opportunity to make new friends, enjoy both work and life and make memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Aside from work, I also love physical activity like dancing (my favorite), going outdoors having conversation with my friends, hiking, climbing and lastly other workouts.

Hello there! You may call me "Mia" for short. I believe in the saying, 'A coffee a day keeps the grumpy away!' However, more coffee a day keeps even more grumpy away!! lol

I have more than a decade of experience working in customer service. Having a good attitude, being kind to customers, and always staying optimistic are essentials for providing excellent customer service. Once you touch the customer's heart, you'll definitely gain their trust and sympathy. Conversely, facing and interacting with different types of people also helps me become a better person in everyday life.

I'll be joining as part of the 'Front of House Team', and it's my pleasure and great excitement to be a part of the Reform Athletica family.
