I’ve been athletic my whole life: I started with swimming, then I was doing ballet for 6 years. I moved on to fencing, a few years of synchronised ice skating, and ultimately horseback jumping. Whenever I’m doing a sport I give all in, I train hard, I strive to be the best, and I paid the price when in 2017 I had a serious injury. I was looking for a workout which was safe to recover yet challenging, and within 6 months of discovering the magic of Pilates I transformed my body.
I tried dynamic Pilates the first time in New York, then it became a true love in Miami. This is the ultimate workout: it’s controlled yet fun, challenging and highly transformative.
I realised if I want this experience in Budapest I need to create a place where the benefits of traditional Pilates meet athletic movement. A studio where you can focus on yourself, meet other likeminded men and women and get your body in the best shape.
Since I opened BFF, the first dynamic Pilates studio in Hungary, I am constantly rewarded by my team and our clients. I’m always on the hunt for the newest trends in fitness, I regularly take workshops around the world to bring fresh ideas to Budapest.
I hope my work inspires others to follow their passion and dare to be original :)

Sport has been always a part of my life: I was playing tennis for 8 years as a kid, then I tried other sports. I found yoga, and when I tried Bikram I felt a sense of arrival. My body loved the heat of the practice.
I was working in an office at the time but I was looking for an opportunity to get away from the computer an work with people. Then I took a leap of faith and did the Bikram course. It was the opportunity I had been waiting for: I immediately started teaching yoga.
I like challenges, this is how I found Pilates. Interestingly enough I started with a special method called Inferno Hot Pilates. Can you tell I love the heat? :)
After meeting Dóri I tried dynamic Pilates in her studio and it was a window to another world. This workout is a perfect challenge for everyone regardless of gender or age or fitness level.

“Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things.”
My name is Dalila, I started dancing when I was three years old and there is where the passion for sports began! I have always been an active person and I consider every sport as a physical and a mental challenge.
When I tried Pilates for the first time, I fell in love with it immediately! After years of practise, Pilates completely transformed my body and my mind. That’s why I decided to study and improve my technique, to become an official qualified Pilates instructor.
I’m always trying to help people to find the best solution for their problems, as the Pilates method does.
I cannot wait to see you all in a class!
