The Full Story

About Me

Who is Wendy Vandendries?

​

I graduated as a Biotechnologist and work in a lab. Professionally I have been problem solving and improving the efficiency and effectiveness (= optimization) of processes for years. Confession: I'm a science nerd and Pilates is the perfect match.

​

Movement optimization is my specialty!

​

Pilates gives me the opportunity to work with different bodies, each with different challenges and different minds with different goals. The challenge: To give people a better quality of life through movement, not only physically, but also mentally. I'm the eternal optimist who lives for one goal: to help people achieve their full potential and I like to pass on those positive vibes in my sessions.

​

I am always up for a challenge and that makes the following quote very appropriate: If your pilates instructor calls an exercise fun, there is a 100% chance you are going to die. But don't worry, every session is tailored to the client's level.

​​

I am a Peak Pilates Comprehensively trained instructor, so I love teaching the system as a whole, not just mat. Because that's how it was intended to be taught and that's how you will benefit most.

Mission & Vision

My Mission is to help people get the most out of life by way of a healthy lifestyle. Helping people reach their goals and showing them that they are capable of much more than they initially thought. Show them that things that they could no longer do, become possible again, with the right training. Pushing boundaries to become stronger, not only physically, but also mentally. 

​

My Vision is to create a community of people who spread positive vibes, who help each other push their limits, who like to explore the world and enjoy life, who go through or want to go through life healthy and fit and can take on anything life throws at them.
