I read how a body actually moves — where it's tight, where it compensates, what's holding a movement back — and I build the training around that. Flexibility, mobility, and recovery work, for athletes and for everyone else. Based in Las Vegas, working with people from anywhere.

Biomechanics-focused training — Las Vegas & worldwide
who I've worked with
Professional and national-team athletes come to me with something specific: a skill that won't score, pain that limits load, a season that can't stop. Three recent cases, briefly.
Professional boxing
A professional boxer came to me with shoulder pain that capped how hard he could train. I found the specific trigger point behind it. Two sessions later the pain was gone and he was back at full intensity.
National-team taekwondo
A national-team athlete came to me mid-season with low-back pain and hip impingement — no time to stop and rehab. I built two short sequences, one before training and one after. Four sessions in, he was kicking at full power at European-level camps.
Competitive gymnastics
A young gymnast couldn't hold her split through a switch-leg leap on beam. The fix was mechanical: inner-thigh activation plus controlled lower-back extension. Six to eight weeks later the skill scored higher in competition — and she broke into the US national top 10 for her level.
My studio is based in Las Vegas — but the work doesn't stay there. Athletes travel, compete, train across time zones. So do I. Wherever the season takes you, the work continues.
the approach
Tight shoulders aren't a cosmetic problem — they're a signal. Stress, a habit, a compensation pattern. My job is to read those signals and act on them.
Every session starts with questions and physical testing: try this, hold this, tell me what you feel. Only after that do I build the actual program. The label might say Pilates or stretching, because people need a word to search for. What happens on the mat is closer to biomechanics work, one body at a time.
My group classes run on the same intake forms and the same live check-ins as my privates. I know about your old injuries before you step on the mat, and I'd rather you interrupt the class than push through something that feels wrong.
With regular work: a body that feels stronger and more organized, better posture, easier breathing, and the ability to sense what your body needs before it becomes pain. Without regularity I won't promise anything — and I'll tell you that to your face. Weight loss is sometimes a side effect. It's never the goal.
Fitness develops physical qualities. What I do is about getting to know your body — and living in partnership with it.
— Coach Ilona
Serious athletes with something specific in the way, and everyday people who want a body that works. My 80-year-old client maintaining his condition trains on the same principles as the national-team fighter.
Sports and disciplines: gymnastics, dance, boxing, Muay Thai, taekwondo, swimming, tennis, running, karate, desk workers.
Eight hours at a screen leaves its mark — a stiff neck, shoulders up by your ears, a lower back that complains by mid-afternoon. I unwind those patterns and give you mobility and recovery work that fits around a working day.
A skill that won't score, pain that limits training load, a season you can't pause. I find the mechanical cause and work around your competition schedule, not against it.
No sport, no performance goal — just a body you'd like to understand instead of fight. I work the same careful, individual way with anyone who wants to move and feel better.

the studio
My studio is small on purpose — my own comparison is a hard-to-find restaurant you end up protecting once you know it exists. Wood, plants, daylight, and nothing extraneous. This is where the private and group work happens; the practice itself travels with my clients.

First sessions start with a conversation and simple physical tests, not a workout you have to survive. You'll leave knowing what's actually going on — and what to do about it.
