Celine has always had a keen interest in fitness and movement starting with teaching Group Exercise classes during her university days. Her first experience with Pilates was in 2004 and she has been a convert ever since! Celine started her career as a lawyer and continued to practice while teaching Pilates.
Shortly after she had her first child in 2011, it was a natural progression to retire from the
corporate world and focus on teaching. Celine has not looked back since. Celine has been teaching with The Moving Body since 2011 and she recently took a short hiatus when she moved to Hong Kong from 2018-2020 where she also taught a little Pilates there. She is now back in Singapore, and is teaching at the East Coast studio.
Having had 3 kids herself, Celine has a particular interest in working with prenatal and postnatal clients and believes in the benefits and rehabilitation that Pilates brings in this area. She has also pursued further education in this respect and hopes to do more.
Celine also loves teaching group classes and enjoys the energy and flow from the classes.
She hopes to make each class challenging yet fun and enjoyable.
The strength and flow that comes from a regular Pilates practice has continued to inspire Celine over the past 10 years and she hopes to similarly inspire and convince her clients of the benefits of Pilates and regular movement!
Out of the Pilates studio, you will also find Celine dabbling in some boxing and strength training which she believes is a great complement to Pilates!

Gen first started Pilates 8 years ago, in an attempt at finding a solution to scoliosis-related back pain,and it changed her life. She credits Pilates for her having a pain-free, smooth pregnancy in spite of scoliosis. Gen lives by the mantra, “Everything Happens for a Reason”, because having been a litigation lawyer, and then spending many years in the commercial insurance industry, Gen’s route to joining the movement industry was not a straightforward one. She became a Pilates instructor chiefly to share the numerous benefits of regular Pilates practice with as many people as possible.
Gen strongly believes that the mind-body connection fundamental to Pilates practice makes for safe and effective movement. Regular Pilates practice results in functional movement because it builds not only strength and flexibility, but also trains balance and proprioception. This means that Pilates can complement practically every lifestyle and fitness regime, whether a person is into high-impact sport, low-impact flow, or just wants to be able to balance better on a crowded bus!
Pilates exercises can be modified almost limitlessly, making Pilates suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions (professional athletes, those with injury/chronic pain, pregnant women, etc.)

Meha used to be a retail buyer for home textiles - while always wanting to pursue a career in fitness, although she didn't know exactly how. She chanced upon Pilates when raising her baby boy - and was amazed at how the accumulated years of chronic back pain started fading away, then disappeared completely, thanks to a regular Pilates practice.
Meha realised that her many years of gymming and weight training in the past had been done with incorrect posture - all of which had contributed to her back aches. The precise bio-mechanics of Pilates exercises earned her the strength and flexibility she could not achieve previously. She became a Pilates convert and signed up for her Pilates Instructor course months before Covid struck, persevering through the challenges and disruptions of these uncertain times with her desire to benefit others through Pilates.
Today, Meha is fully certified by Polestar Pilates and has been teaching Pilates for the past two years. It brings her great joy to see the transformation of her clients - from having postural problems that cause chronic pain, to achieving strength and pain-free freedom of movement. She plans to make this her lifelong career.

Takako describes her first experience of Pilates as “fascinating”. Already a busy mum to two teenage daughters, Takako had moved from her native Japan to Singapore and given birth to a baby boy, when she began taking Pilates classes as a form of self care. She was surprised and fascinated to find that this precious me-time quickly began doing wonders for her mind as well as her body.
The mental clarity, body awareness and posture improvements that Takako experienced for herself made her a passionate advocate for the practice. In fact, she credits Pilates for helping her to gain even more enjoyment from raising her children, due to the positive changes it brought about in herself.
It wasn’t long before Takako sought to share the joy of Pilates with others by becoming an instructor. She studied with the Pilates Academy to gain her Mat and Reformer certifications, and is also certified in Anatomy, Biomechanics and Postural Analysis. Her specialisms today include helping her clients to improve their flexibility, alignment, core strength and full-body conditioning.
Takako's warmth and passion have made her a wonderful and dedicated instructor, and we are thrilled to have her joining the SmartFit team; enabling us to open up our practice to Japanese clients and help them gain for themselves all the life-changing benefits that we know and love.

Felicia has been an avid Pilates practitioner since 2012 and has then decided to take it further by becoming an instructor, giving her a deeper appreciation for the importance of movement. Now a mother of two, she is convinced that it was through Pilates that she was able to have had her two pregnancies pain-free (her high threshold for pain definitely helped too!), having had smooth labourand easy postpartum recovery from both.
She believes that with the mindfulness that comes with practicing Pilates, one can gain a combination of strength and mobility that would greatly improve quality of life until old age. This inspires Felicia to always look for opportunities to improve her practice, and to strive for clients to have a happier relationship with their individual bodies. She shares her love for Pilates through working together with clients to meet both their goals as well as her goals for them as an instructor – whether it's finding practical solutions for their chronic aches, or simply finding joy in movement.

Amelia was first introduced to Pilates in 1994 and has been passionately committed to the method ever since. Initially drawn to it to complement her classical ballet training, she quickly recognised the depth and effectiveness of the practice—not just for dancers, but for overall movement quality and physical well-being. She began her Pilates journey in Melbourne under the guidance of Andrew Baxter, training at the Australian Ballet Centre and later continuing at his own studio, Body Concept Studio.
With a strong foundation in Classical Ballet, Amelia also explored Jazz, Contemporary, and Ballroom dance styles, which broadened her movement vocabulary and deepened her understanding of coordination, control, and body mechanics. This lifelong immersion in movement naturally led her to appreciate the precision and intelligence behind Pilates. Her growing passion for Pilates eventually inspired her to pursue formal training, and in 2019, she became a Certified Polestar Pilates Studio Practitioner, further refining her skills in mindful, functional movement and rehabilitation-based approaches.
Following her certification, Amelia taught at Isofit in Hong Kong—Polestar’s Asia Headquarters—where she gained valuable experience working with a diverse clientele. Since relocating to Singapore, she has continued to share her passion for Pilates by leading group mat classes in the corporate space, helping her colleagues build strength, improve posture, and boost energy through movement. Amelia’s teaching is grounded in precision, fluidity, and a deep respect for how Pilates can support every body across all stages of life.
