ATELIER FIRENZE
Atelier Firenze - Pilates City Center
Lungarno Vespucci, 28
The Atelier welcomes clients in a unique and striking location, with pink-toned rooms overlooking the beautiful Arno River that caresses Florence. It consists of two large rooms: the first features three innovative Body & Exercise Pilates machines, for small-group Pilates SCULPT classes, with a training method developed by Cristiana Desantis. This is the first center in Tuscany to offer this type of workout.
The second room features three COMBO machines, which can be adapted to either REFORMERS or CADILLACS, depending on the instructor’s preference, for maximum variety and engaging classes. All machines are BASI Systems.
Large changing rooms, showers, and bathrooms are available to all clients to ensure maximum comfort during their stay.
Be You clothing line: born for movement, designed for every day
In addition to the large workout area, the Atelier features a modern showroom where you can preview the latest additions to our ACTIVE Wear clothing line. The collection is the result of a collaboration between Cristiana Desantis, who has translated years of practice into garments designed to naturally accompany movement, and Pamela, a fashion designer.
Two entrepreneurial women united by a strong friendship and a passion for what they do. Although they come from different fields, they share the same determination and desire to make their dreams come true.
They are creative, ambitious, and always ready to take on challenges to grow and improve. It was from this combination of their passions that the idea of creating a line of athletic yet feminine clothing was born, designed for women of character, strong yet refined.
The line is aimed at those looking for comfort without sacrificing style. A modern and versatile look, perfect for a Pilates session or even an aperitivo with friends.
Every woman should be able to express herself through what she wears. Style isn’t just about clothes: it’s a reflection of who we are, an extension of our identity.
Each piece is crafted from the highest-quality fabrics, chosen for softness, comfort, and breathability—essential for activities like Pilates and yoga. But the line’s true strength is its versatility: ACTIVE Wear garments are designed to be worn outside the gym, perfect for a casual yet sophisticated look in everyday situations or even for social occasions, thanks to a refined design and elegant details that blend style and functionality.
The ACTIVE Wear line is an authentic expression of Made in Italy: ethical, sustainable, and designed for those who choose to take care of themselves and the world with style and awareness.
