Meet Ania

For nearly two decades, Ania Bartosik has built her approach to Pilates around one simple philosophy: every body is different, and every client deserves personal attention. Before earning her Power Pilates certification in 2007, Ania completed 600 hours of comprehensive Pilates training, developing a strong foundation in the classical method, movement, alignment, control, and proper technique. Since then, she has worked personally with clients from downtown Chicago and Lake Forest to Naples, Florida, helping people at different ages, experience levels, and stages of life develop a Pilates practice that works for them. Ania believes the most effective instruction begins with understanding the individual; not simply putting someone through a predetermined routine. Every private session is personally led by Ania and thoughtfully adapted to the client’s body, abilities, goals, and progress. Her teaching combines the discipline and precision of classical Pilates with a warm, approachable style that makes clients feel comfortable, confident, and supported. Today, Pilates by Ania is intentionally focused on private instruction, allowing Ania to provide the level of attention and continuity that simply isn’t possible in a large group setting. Whether a client is beginning Pilates for the first time or has practiced for years, the goal remains the same: to create a stronger, more balanced body through thoughtful movement and a truly personalized Pilates experience
