Zel
Lead Instructor
Pilates | GYROTONIC® | GYROKINESIS®
Zel’s strong belief in the benefits of mindful movement for a confident, comfortable and pain free life stems from her own personal experience. 20 years ago, Zel suffered lower back pain and shoulder impingement which became a debilitating daily occurrence to her. She spent thousands of dollars on TCM, physiotherapy and more in the hope of finding relief from her daily pain, with no success. Little did she know that the life-changing moment would finally come in the form of Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method. The combination of these two movement practices not only healed her body and removed her pain, but they also opened up a whole new career path.
Fast forward to today, Zel has achieved her optimal fitness level and helped countless clients to enjoy the same transformative benefits she felt for herself. She is determined to continuously deepen her knowledge of topics such as injury rehabilitation, fascia training,
chronic pain relief, postural misalignment and sports massage to relieve compensation issues. As any of her clients will tell you, Zel is a joy to work with: observant, patient and eager to help those from all walks of life.
Zel teaches in English and Mandarin and conversational in Malay.

Abigail
Junior Instructor
Pilates
Abigail is a Pilates instructor who believes that movement is an essential part of living well. Having been involved in dance from a young age, she developed an early appreciation for movement and body awareness. After stepping away from regular physical activity for several years, she made a conscious decision in 2018 to prioritise her health and reconnect with movement through exercise.
Over the next six years, Pilates became a consistent part of her life alongside other forms of training such as boxing. Through her own practice, Abigail experienced firsthand how Pilates can develop greater mind-body connection, build strength, and increase awareness of how everyday habits influence the way we move and feel. Inspired by these benefits and a desire to deepen her understanding of movement, she pursued instructor training and transitioned into teaching.
Prior to becoming an instructor, Abigail worked in Human Resources within the corporate sector. Her experience has reinforced her belief that movement plays a vital role in supporting overall well-being, particularly in today’s increasingly sedentary lifestyles. She is passionate about helping clients build confidence in their movement, develop body awareness, and discover the positive impact that consistent practice can have on everyday life.
Known for her energetic and encouraging approach, Abigail strives to create a welcoming environment where clients feel supported, challenged, and empowered throughout their movement journey.
Abigail teaches in English.
