About me
From a professional ballerina and circus artist turned passionate fitness coach, with 25+ years of experience of movement and 10+ years of helping women discover the potential of their bodies.
What you will get with PaleyFit programs:
A different approach
I will not only name the exercise and count the reps for you.
Instead, I explain how to do each movement properly:
-
how to breathe
-
what you should feel
-
(and what you definitely shouldn’t).
All in an easy, and humorous way.
Open communication
If you ever have questions about technique, feel unsure about an exercise, or just need someone to vent to — I’m always here.
We can all share our wins and struggles in the group chat — because it's just more fun reaching goals together!
My core principle
It’s important to me that you see real results.
I’ll do everything I can to make your path to the mat as smooth, encouraging, and enjoyable as possible.
And so you come back for more!
Try before you decide. I want you to hear my voice, see how I move, and feel what this method does in your body — before you invest a single euro. One free session. No strings attached.

My Method
Most fitness programs throw you into the deep end — fast reps, big promises, little understanding. This leads to frustration, poor results, or even pain.

FAQs
I’m a complete beginner with no fitness background. Is this right for me?
Absolutely — this is exactly who the Beginner’s Guide was designed for. You don’t need any prior experience, and you won’t be thrown in the deep end. Every exercise comes with a full explanation of how to do it, how to breathe, and what you should (and shouldn’t) feel. We start from the foundation and build from there.
What equipment do I need?
You don’t need a gym — but a few props make a real difference. Here’s the full list:
• Pilates ball
• Tennis ball
• Franklin balls (soft, 10–12 cm) — or just a pair of rolled-up socks
• Loop resistance bands
• One long light resistance band
• Dumbbells 1 kg (for arm and back exercises)
• Dumbbells 2 kg+ (for legs and glutes)
• A comfortable yoga mat
• Yoga blocks (optional, for support)
• Foam roller
• Space on the floor and a clear wall space
• A sturdy chair (used in some workouts)
Most of this is inexpensive and widely available online.
How much time do I need per week?
The Beginner’s Guide is built around 30-minute sessions, 3 times a week. That’s 90 minutes total — manageable even on a busy schedule. The Bulletproof Body Club offers variety in both workout length and intensity, so you can choose based on your day. And if you have just 10–15 minutes, Pocket Workouts have you covered.
I have back pain / knee pain / a weak pelvic floor. Can I still train?
Yes — and these are actually the exact issues the program addresses. The Beginner’s Guide was specifically designed for women dealing with back pain, knee pain, and pelvic floor weakness. That said, if you have a specific medical condition or have had recent surgery, please check with your doctor first, and see the contraindications below.
What’s the difference between the Beginner’s Guide, Pocket Workouts, and the Bulletproof Body Club?
Beginner’s Guide — start here. A structured 10-week foundation course: movement, breathing, building strength safely from scratch. 30 min, 3x per week.
Pocket Workouts — short 10–15 min sessions split into Light, Medium, and Heavy. Perfect for travel, busy days, or adding movement whenever you have a spare moment. No schedule required.
Bulletproof Body Club — for women who’ve completed the Beginner’s Guide and want to keep going. An ongoing membership with varied workouts, light to moderate intensity, with and without weights.
Not sure where to start? A 1:1 session with me is the fastest way to figure it out.
What are Pocket Workouts?
Pocket Workouts are short, focused sessions of 10–15 minutes — designed to fit into your day rather than around it. Whether you’re travelling, short on time, or just want to move without committing to a full workout, these are for you.
The workouts come in three levels:
• Light Pockets — gentle movement, great for recovery days or low-energy days
• Medium Pockets — a solid session when you have moderate energy and 15 minutes
• Heavy Pockets — more intense, when you want to push a little
You can use Pocket Workouts on their own, or stack them alongside the Beginner’s Guide or Bulletproof Body Club to top up your training on busy days.
Do I need equipment for Pocket Workouts?
Most sessions require little to nothing — that’s the whole point. Some Heavy Pockets may use a band or light weights, but you can do the majority with just your body and a mat (or even a hotel room floor).
Can I do the workouts if I haven’t exercised in years (or ever)?
Yes. “Beginner” here means genuinely beginner — not “beginner who secretly does CrossFit.” The program is built to meet you where you are and progress at a pace that works for your body.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Many students start noticing changes within 3 weeks — less tension, better posture, lighter back, more awareness of how their body moves. Visible strength changes typically build over the full 10 weeks.
Is this only online, or can I train with you in person?
Both options exist. The courses are fully online and self-paced. I also offer 1:1 sessions online and in person, and teach Pilates group classes at studios in Berlin. Contact me to find out what’s available.
How do I book a 1:1 session?
Head to the 1:1 Class page and reach out directly — I’ll get back to you to find a time that works.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes, you can cancel the Bulletproof Body Club membership and Pocket Workouts at any time, no questions asked.
When should I NOT train?
Please avoid training if any of the following apply:
❌ Pregnancy (any stage)
❌ Osteoporosis (any degree or at1-2 stage at your own risk)
❌ Acute inflammatory processes
❌ Diastasis recti wider than 4 cm
❌ Less than 10 weeks post-caesarean or 8 weeks post natural birth
❌ Other medical contraindications
❌ Your doctor has advised against exercise
When in doubt, check with your healthcare provider first.
