I saw changes in my body after only 4 weeks!! No other exercise class or fitness program has provided me with the same results so quickly.
I love Milates and I am someone that finds working out very tedious. Mila has an exceptional disposition and because of her workouts I feel strong and confident about my body. I have never experienced this feeling before and it feels amazing!! – Glenda Rissman, Principal, q30 design Inc., Toronto, Canada
My heavy migraines have almost vanished (my boss can confirm it), my body improved in shape (my husband can confirm it), I lost some weight, and most important of all – my life energy increased several times, my mood improved significantly (I feel much happier now), and I can watch TV in the evening without falling asleep at 9:00pm. – Newsletter of the Embassy of USA, Belgrade, Serbia
Milates is an intense program which challenges each muscle in the body and leaves you feeling tighter, firmer, stronger and leaner. Its like your core is an elastic band stretched to a divine tautness. And you stay that way: walking taller and feeling svelte. Within 2-3 classes, my waist and hips are shapelier, and my arms and tights look as if an inch has been delicately shaved from them.
In preparation for my wedding last June, I joined Milates for 8 sessions. Through a series of balance, light weights, resistance bands and ball exercises, I was pleased to witness my once-saggy upper arms transformed into finely-sculpted artwork; in addition, I toned my midsection to near flat, and legs to lean. The highlight of the program, however, was the positive state of mind created through a community of supportive women.
Milates choice of music brings tranquility into the over-stimulated brain, and her enthusiasm and charm keep you smiling while you sweat. No wonder she’s had the same clients for years, and her classes are always full! – Larissa Chmil, High school Teacher, Toronto, Canada
Milates has re-energized my once stiff body and has made me move again, giving me more energy than ever before! I just feel so energetic and happy! – Karin Hertach, Accounting Manager at Envision Sales Inc., Toronto, Canada
Mila made me a happy and healthy person like I have never felt before. – Tanja Vecerka, Embassy of the USA, Belgrade, Serbia
Milates is worlds better than Pilates! I‘d done Pilates in South Africa (2 yrs) & UK (6 months) before moving to Canada where I looked for somewhere that would offer Pilates close to my apartment. I found Milates and thought I‘d try it. The basic methods of core strength being important is about the only similarity, otherwise Milates was a much more holistic form of exercise. After only 6 months I felt stronger, had better body definition & generally had more fun in the classes than I had had for any previous Pilates sessions. Mila was always very aware that most of us worked desk jobs & she‘d have exercises to counteract the negative influences of sitting too long, of bad posture, & generally relieving stress and tension. What also impressed me was that Mila always remembered who had what injury, and she‘d have specific/different exercises for that person so as not to exacerbate their injury, but rather to help them get over it. At one stage we had 3 pregnant ladies who were at class almost right up to the births! – Zoe Brocklehurst, South Africa
Milates has provided me with a passion for fitness. Every class is unique, fun and challenging and brings new life to routine-exercising. Not only does Mila make me never want to miss a class, she also motivates me to exercise outside of the program. Milates truly makes fitness a lifestyle. – O.Y., Toronto, Canada
Milates helped me develop muscles that I had not been using and it placed less emphasis on building up the ‘rectus abdominis’. The result was that I could now finally locate, isolate and strengthen my pelvic floor muscles, and this allowed me to sneeze, jump and move my body with greater confidence. The added bonus of the Milates program for me was seen in my ‘enhanced sexual response’ – and I consider this a nice treat to an already fun and very worthwhile program. – Anonymous, Toronto, Canada
My core is stronger than it has been in years, thanks to Mila for educating and pushing me.” – Else Pedersen, Founder and HR Consultant of Perceptive Edge, Toronto, Canada
As a person chronically fixated on her weight, which always seems 10 lbs over the target no matter how hard I try, it was an awesome experience to be trained by someone who showcased that, my butt was getting tighter, but who also wanted me to believe in my progress and LOVE my body for what it is. Mila is all about love, self-respect and self acceptance and is also a major dose of good fun and laughter. That’s just what I needed back then, when we trained together almost 7 years ago. Now after 2 kids and a whole lot of pasta, I’m definitely ready for another dose of Milates!
‘ Io sono una persona quasi ossessionata dal mio peso, cioe ho sempre una immagine negativa di me stessa. E’ stata un’esperienza fantastica essere allenata da qualcuno che sottolineava che, si, il mio sedere era piu sodo, ma che voleva anche che io vedessi i miei progressi e provassi amore per come era il mio corpo in quel momento. Questa e’ Mila — amore, rispetto per se stessi e accettazione — ed inoltre una buona dose di risate e ironia. Esattamente quello di cui avevo bisogno 7 anni fa quando iniziai a fare lezioni con lei. Adesso, dopo due bambine e un po’ troppa pasta, sono pronta per un altra dose di Milates. – Allison Smith, International non-profit development professional,Rome, Italy
Mila is my best instructor ever. Not only she knows how to apply your effort to serve your body best, she also inspires you with her great passion to building your perfect self. Actually, the best compliments to my body I ever heard were after her classes. Maria Babikova, Software engineer at InduSoft Ltd.
Mila worked one-on-one with me for a number of months and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is an unquestionable professional and an expert in the fitness field — constantly seeking new courses and workshops to stay ahead of the learning curve! However, even more important than her credentials is the fact that Mila is one of the most comforting, personable, and caring individuals I have ever met in all my travels around the world. She knows how to motivate, nurture, and build training programs to the specific needs of her clients. Mila did more than simply help me lose weight. She helped me connect with my body and taught me how to recognize its needs. For that I will always be grateful. – Petra Zabriskie, U. S. Diplomat, USA
Milates classes are incredibly unique, fun, challenging and effective. She blends expertise and enthusiasm that makes working out with her a lot of fun. Every exercise works out muscles in a new way, and then the next exercise stretches the muscles you just worked while finding new ones in the next activity. There is nothing like it, you will have a blast an absolutely love the way your body looks shortly after taking her amazing classes. – Nicole Sirak, Chief Executive Officer at American Red Cross of Greater Idaho, USA
With the introduction of Kundalini yoga and meditation my progress has been incredible. Mila taught me so much about myself and the best way to exercise for my lifestyle and truly has had a massive impact on my life. – Fiona Logan, Senior Account Director – International at NRS Media, Sidney, Australia
I feel very fortunate to have had Mila as an instructor! My biggest problem with exercise is falling into the same routine and getting bored easily. Working with Mila eliminated all of that! Mila always came to class with new and exciting exercise routines. Meeting the needs of everyone in a group can be difficult, but Mila listened to everyone’s needs and made sure her routines fulfilled those wishes. I was also pregnant with my first child and it kept Mila on her toes to come up with alternative exercises to meet my cardio needs without harming my baby; her workouts truly helped ease childbirth, too. I truly miss working with Mila! – Maureen Riordan, Teacher at Fairfax County Public Schools
Milates focuses on every day issues that most of us have (back problems, posture, inflexibility, pain, etc…). It focuses on muscles we all neglect but which are so important for our overall body functionality and health. Milates has taught me to be aware of every movement and every muscle in my body. It showed me that simple, small exercises can make such a big impact on the overall fitness level of our body. – Tamara Oswald, Account Executive at Foss National Leasing, Toronto, Canada
“The first time I met Mila was at the insistence of my Chiropractor. I had had a long history of minor but chronic trouble with my back and she recommended Mila’s class to strengthen the muscles. I had never been what you could call sporty: coming from a family of avid and prolific tennis players, I was the one playing the piano and baking cakes, but Mila’s class changed my entire outlook on personal fitness. I had tried, throughout my life, various forms of exercise but nothing really kept me that interested for long. Until I started Mila’s class, that is. Something about the energy in this amazing woman is entirely contagious and I found that I couldn’t bear to miss even one class. On top of the amazing benefits to my historic back problems, I found myself growing stronger, fitter and happier by the week. For the first time in my life I was happy with my own body: a very rare thing for women the world over! I also found joy and deep personal satisfaction in learning to challenge myself and seeing how much stronger my body was becoming. As someone who has always suffered from depression, I can honestly say that this is more than just a physical exercise class: it’s a technique that lifts the spirit and overall level of happiness in one’s day to day life. Mila changed the shape of my body; but she also changed my outlook on what I was able to achieve, on what my body could accomplish.” – Robyn Pols- Vickers, Photographer Director, London, UK
Thanks to you and Milates, I’ve been exercising for years now. It keeps me fit and sane :). Well done and good luck in the future!!!!! Love,

The Milates program has given me a feeling of increased energy and overall well-being after each work out, and because of this I would highly recommend it to anyone. – Jane Darling, Industrial Design and Business Process Professional, Toronto, Canada
After my first class with Mila I felt that I had found the best instructor ever and now I truly know that this is true! I have been in the fitness world for some time and have even worked as a fitness instructor for a while myself. What I can say is that there is no person as caring, passionate, and motivated as Mila! She moved and inspired me much more than any other trainer, and she broadened my views and taught me to maintain the body which I will continue to use for years.
Not only is Mila an excellent coach, her personality and ability to see more in every person is what makes her really outstanding. She can see our limits but she can also see if we have something we are not aware of. She brought out the best in me, taught me to maintain my body and also taught me about the perfect type of training that will do all of this for me. I am so happy that I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet her! Thank you Mila! – Jelena Lukic Petrovic, Art Director at Filmmastermea Events, Dubai, UAE
Mila’s class was awesome and totally got me back into shape after a long period of inactivity. Her encouraging and positive attitude made the workouts fun, even when I didn’t think I could do another rep. =)” – Kerstin Buettner, International School Teacher, Minnesota, USA
I have been practicing Pilates for almost a decade and I have found Mila’s style and moves to be a refreshing and unique approach to core and overall body conditioning. Milates classes seem to go by very quickly but the work-out is strenuous and fun and every muscle group is worked to the max!
To me, the best part about Milates is Mila’s warm, engaging and fun personality. The fact that Mila customizes the work-out around each participant’s injuries is truly appreciated. Also, it seems that every class is completely unique so boredom never sets in after attending multiple classes. – Adele Wootton, Director, Client Services at Creative Niche Inc, Toronto, Canada
Mila explains the purpose of the exercises and this is important for me because this encourages and motivates me to do the exercises if I know their benefits. She is meticulous and ensures that you do the exercises or poses properly by demonstrating not only the right form but the wrong form as well. – Vivian Santos, Business analyst, Toronto, Canada
Mila’s vigorous passion for exercise and a healthy lifestyle – both physically and spiritually – is nothing short of contagious, therefore brings nothing but success to her clients. One of her greatest talents is in creating a great combination of exercises that are effective and adaptable to each and every one. – Allison Gilbert, Nina Milosevic, Aida Kuric, Embassy of the USA, Belgrade, Serbia
If we enter the room tired, we will always be more energized after a tough class. – Teachers from the International School of Belgrade, Serbia
I am amazed at how my training sessions with Mila have given me added flexibility, balance and strength. – Chuck Larsen, President at Celplast Limited, Toronto, Canada
Milates offers a workout that is quite distinct because very muscle in the body is involved – whether you know it or not. Each class within the program is different, providing key variety to prevent boredom of mind and muscle. – Karen Henricks, Owner at Suntree Natural Foods Marketplace, Port Hope, Canada
I would highly recommend that anyone male or female, young or old hire Mila to whip them in to great physical and mental shape. She has great de-stressing techniques with her extensive knowledge of yoga. – Catherine Bonch, Owner at Accpro Services, Toronto, Canada
Mila is a great motivating coach but very understanding of individual abilities -she coaches for long term results – everyone I know who works with Mila enjoys the time spent and looks forward to coming back for more.” – Kathy Murphy, Owner at Starting at Nine, Toronto, Canada
Milates is great fun-your body definitely knows it’s had a workout! Mila adept at meeting client needs regardless of physical issues or desired challenge. – Lynda Knezevic, Vancouver, Canada
I like Milates because it focuses on body core and strengthening. Other Pilates workouts do as well, but Milates makes exercise fun and Mila never repeats the same class. Some programs out there do the same thing every class and offer no variation. I also like that Milates workouts focus on a variety of different things like bands, balls, etc. I have really enjoyed the classes and just wish I could do Milates every day!! – Barb Prevedello, Teache at York School, Toronto, Canada
“I loved Mila’s classes, they were a perfect balance of hard work and good fun at the same time. When the class was finished I felt so tired, but it was a really good tired.” – Janette M., Sidney, Australia
