— About

Hi, I’m Eleni.

Pilates and functional fitness trainer based in Vienna. I run small outdoor group sessions and the occasional workshop because, after more than a decade of coaching, that’s the format I keep coming back to.

How I got here.

I started in classical pilates and quickly drifted toward functional and outdoor training — the kind of movement that shows up in how you walk, lift groceries, climb stairs, sleep. I’ve coached one-on-one, in studios, and in parks. Park wins.

How I teach.

Small groups. Bodyweight first. Mobility before strength, breath before tension. I read the room every session and adapt — there is no fixed weekly script, because the group is never the same twice. Beginners get patience, experienced movers get nudged.

Why outdoor.

Fresh air is half the medicine. The other half is being seen by one trainer instead of being a number in a basement studio. Outdoor group work scales attention, not equipment — and most people’s bodies don’t need more equipment, they need more attention.

Credentials, briefly.

10+ years coaching pilates and functional fitness. Continuing education in mobility, breathwork and movement screening. I keep certifications current and reading lists longer.

Come move.

Weekly sessions in Währinger Park, plus the occasional workshop. Pick what fits — or drop a line and I’ll point you in the right direction.
