Life happens to everyone, that’s a guarantee. Boy did it happen to me. During my pregnancy back in 2019, I was diagnosed with a rare syndrome; HLH (Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis). For which I needed a cancer treatment, a so called allogeneic stem cell transplant. I’ll spare you the details. Most doctor’s said it would be very uncertain if I could not have my life back. However, I proved them wrong. And bounced back. Even a second transplant couldn’t knock me off my feet. Can you believe it? So, what can you learn from a 5-year sick bed? That injuries can actually be your best friend. It’s about your agility and your resilience. How did I do it? Well, a Psychology Master of Science (MSc. University of Leiden) helps, together with a 3-year in-depth post-master in the following methods: NLP, Transactional Analysis and Systemic Work: where I learned to guide people in unraveling ineffective behavioral patterns. But do you want to know what really supported my healing? Just scroll on to see what LS Pilates can do for a better you…

Sven Mol2024-08-03Lieske, the instructor at this boutique Pilates studio, with her positive vibes and highly motivational skills, always pushes me to my limits. Her guidance has significantly improved my core strength, flexibility, and shoulder injury recovery, perfectly complementing my weekly strength training routine. The studio's calming atmosphere and state-of-the-art equipment (Basi) make every workout a pleasure. I highly recommend Lieske and this studio to anyone seeking an outstanding pilates experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Rick Verheij2024-07-31LS Pilates, is a beautiful Pilates studio in the Jordaan, in the center of Amsterdam. Even though it’s in the center it’s in a calm street so parking can be an option! The lessons themselves offer a great variety of different Pilates workouts with the options of: Classical Pilates - Mat Pilates - Contemporary Pilates & Reformer Pilates. You can tell Lieske (Teacher/Sensei/The best!) what’s your personal preference and what level you like to work towards. But before you move to the next level their are a few key point that have to match: breath, concentration, centre, control, precision & flow. Because of my precious Yoga/Bikram background, Lieske gave me a new understanding about the importance of a perfect workout rather than just pushing yourself over your limit. But if you like to, she can really push you to the edge! Plus with the cooldown moment at the end of each session (you know when you’re there…), you really feel reborn. I do so highly recommend everyone, beginner or more experienced, to start practicing at LS Pilates! Thanks for everything! 🙏Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Since joining, I've seen significant improvements in my strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their health! 5 stars!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Nellie L.2024-06-11Pilates with Lieske has been a really great experience all around. Lieske is a wonderful teacher and guide—very knowledgeable, patient, caring, and motivating as she works with me carefully through each session. I came to her as a beginner in Pilates, and after two children I’ve struggled with diastasis recti. She has taught me a lot in order to understand this condition and my body as it relates to our Pilates practice. With each session Lieske tailors it to my needs and comfort. She is just what I needed in a private instructor—not only to teach me, but also be a supportive and motivating guide in order to get my body whole and strong. Bonus!!— I love that she has a background in yoga and psychology education—best of both worlds I think. This explains her calm, grounded energy and intelligence! She will always greet you with a cup of tea and a huge smile. I love our chats each session. Her studio is lovely and serene, with big windows to bring in a lot of light while facing a quiet canal. Really an ideal space for one-on-one sessions. I look forward to continuing my Pilates work with her :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Marinke Roebersen2024-05-21Prachtige Pilates studio in hartje Amsterdam. Door de lessen bij LS Pilates ben ik in korte tijd sterker en flexibeler geworden en heb ik minder last van een spierblessure. Hele fijne, persoonlijke en deskundige aanpak; daardoor is elke sessie op maat gemaakt. Lieske traint naast de grote spieren ook de kleine spiergroepen, waardoor deze beter samenwerken (als een op elkaar afgestemd orkest) en je in korte tijd resultaat bereikt. Ik loop elke keer met een glimlach naar buiten. Echt een aanrader als je in korte tijd resultaat wil behalen.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kris van Laerhoven2024-05-17Elke week is weer een feestje voor zowel mijzelf als voor mijn lichaam. Ik heb mijn lichaam in razendsnel tempo zien veranderen en veel getoned-er zien worden. Ze heeft verstand van wat ze doet, en is ook heel eerlijk als iets niet naar expertise is. De studio is prachtig en schoon. Ondanks mijn haat-liefde verhouding met sporten, kijk ik hier elke week weer naar uit! LiefsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Fleur Peters2024-05-07Lieske offers me high end 1:1 practice which is rare to find. Her professional approach combined with warm and thoughtful dedication makes me walk out the studio feeling healed and energised every time again, noticing a better posture, strong core muscles already after a few sessions. Her tastefully decorated studio is a special and vibrant space, equipped with the all the real pilates tools (eg chair, reformer and Cadillac) you need for a perfect work out. Go book a class with Lieske, you won’t regret!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Berit Burema2024-05-01Lieske's pilates lessen zijn next level. In een prachtige studio begeleid Lieske je op een enorm kundige manier. De les op de reformer geeft een hele nieuwe dimensie aan de pilates. Lieske heeft ontzettend veel kennis van zaken en je voelt je met de les sterker worden. Worth every penny!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Amber Juliette van Oirschot2024-04-30Lieske's LS Pilates sessions are truly a sanctuary of love and care. Lieske takes you on a journey to your best self. Her warmth and attention make each session a gift for both body and mind. After a LS Coaching and Pilates session, I feel serene, safe, and strengthened. The sessions are not only effective, but each movement is thoughtful and purposeful, resulting in feeling stronger, more flexible, and emotionally balanced. Lieske's guidance as a teacher is the best - empathetic, attentive, and knowledgeable. The studio radiates tranquility, a true home away from home, with the best Pilates equipment that enhances the overall experience. I highly recommend Lieske to anyone who is committed to better themselves and see the best possible results!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Lizette Jaques2024-04-30LS Pilates is een prachtige, high-end studio waar je geweldig wordt begeleid door Lieske Stokkers, die duidelijk veel kennis en ervaring heeft en de oefeningen heel goed weet aan te passen op jouw wensen en mogelijkheden (bijv. Pre en post natal!). Je voelt je snel thuis onder haar bezielende begeleiding. Pilates op de reformer en andere apparaten en dat met de juiste begeleiding maakt je in vrij korte tijd sterker, soepeler en flexibeler juist door zulke kleine bewegingen goed te leren uitvoeren. Ik voel me in de watten gelegd en tegelijkertijd uitgedaagd. Een top combinatie! Een absolute aanrader als je in een fijne omgeving, privé pilates coaching wil hebben!
