Sofia Ricci

Sofia loves apparatus work and runs the tower and chair sessions alongside her reformer classes.

She grew up doing gymnastics in Bologna, stopped at nineteen, and spent the next few years missing the feeling of working against something. The reformer gave that back. She trained in Milan, taught there for four years, and moved to Amsterdam in 2023.

Her classes are the ones where you notice your weaker side. She programmes a lot of single arm and single leg work on purpose, and she is very good at explaining why the exercise is asking what it is asking, which makes it easier to keep going when it is hard.

Sofia teaches Reformer Sculpt on Tuesday evenings and Tower and Chair on Saturday mornings. She also takes private sessions for members who want to work on a specific movement rather than a whole programme.
