INSTRUCTORS
Sepi Koren
Founder & Lead Instructor
I started my career as a fitness instructor and personal trainer before falling in love with Pilates and everything it does for the body. With a degree in Exercise Science and a background in cardiac rehab and corporate fitness, I've always believed that smart, purposeful movement can truly change lives.
As the founder of Fit-Pilates, my vision is to create a refined boutique studio designed to feel like a true wellness escape – warm, intimate and elevated. Every detail with intention. Fit-Pilates is a space where clients can feel supported and inspired. We connect personally with each individual offering precise queuing, hands-on guidance, and an encouraging presence that makes every session feel tailored and purposeful
As the Social Media Manager at Fit-Pilates, my goal is to bring the studio to life through thoughtful storytelling and creative content. With a background in Advertising and Marketing Communications, I’m passionate about connecting clients to the studio and sharing the Fit-Pilates experience in a meaningful way.
In addition to managing social media, I support the studio’s daily operations through app management and bookkeeping, helping ensure a seamless experience both online and behind the scenes.

My name is Deborah Balakhaneh, and I am a certified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor with a strong background in physical therapy and exercise science. My training is rooted in evidence-based movement, combining clinical knowledge with functional strength, mobility, and injury-prevention principles. Having studied and trained alongside several renowned physical therapists, I integrate advanced rehabilitation concepts with dynamic Pilates programming.
I love incorporating creative challenges into my sessions—thoughtfully layering progressions, balance work, and strength variations to keep workouts engaging, effective, and results-driven. My approach is precise, intentional, and personalized to help clients move better, build strength, and achieve long-term performance and overall wellness.

I work to bridge the gap between strength training and mindful movement: building functional strength, control and body awareness while emphasizing proper alignment and moving with intention. I’m passionate about helping clients feel strong, confident and empowered in their bodies, and create a supportive environment where every client feels challenged and encouraged.
Whether you're new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, my goal is to help you move with purpose and feel stronger in every day life.
