How is the right trainer chosen for you?

In the complimentary assessment session at the start of your membership, we talk through your goal, your movement quality and your weekly availability. Trainers are assigned on those three points: pairing a member who prefers morning sessions with a trainer who teaches in the evening slot is not practical. Just state your preference (a female or male trainer, a particular class format) when you apply.

In group classes the choice of trainer is yours; you can pick any class from the weekly schedule and decide by trying different trainers' teaching styles. Current times and which trainer teaches which class are on the weekly schedule page.

Studios and classes

Our trainers work across separate studios at our facility in Cevizli, Maltepe: O'Reformer (8 Balanced Body reformers), O'Studio (mat Pilates, yoga, barre, core), O'Strength (strength and conditioning), O'Ride (indoor cycling and HIIT), O'Pool (heated indoor pool, sauna) and O'Care (sports physiotherapy). You can see which trainer teaches which class on the weekly schedule.

Training one-to-one

Alongside group classes, you can arrange a personal training session with a trainer whose class you attend. One-to-one reformer, kickboxing, swimming, sports physiotherapy and dietitian services are coordinated through the same calendar.

Joining our team

Trainers who would like to work on the Maltepe–Dragos side in reformer Pilates, fitness, yoga or conditioning can send their CV through the inquiry form . Applications are reviewed by our sports manager.
