Speranza Pilates Studio: A Year of Hope, Movement, and Becoming BGC’s Top Pilates Sanctuary

Speranza Pilates Studio: A Year of Hope, Movement, and Becoming BGC’s Top Pilates Sanctuary

May 20, 20254 min read

This isn’t our studio launch. It’s the launch of our stories.

Speranza Pilates Studio has been fully operational since 2024, quietly becoming a home for hundreds of clients seeking more than just a workout. And now, nearly a year in, we’re finally launching our blog—not to introduce ourselves, but to honor the journey we’ve all taken together.

From our very first class, we’ve always believed that Pilates is more than exercise—it’s empowerment through motion. What we didn’t expect was how much our community would carry that belief with us.

In less than a year, you—our clients, supporters, and believers—made Speranza Pilates Studio the #1 search result for “Pilates near BGC” on Google. That’s not just a number. That’s a reflection of the trust you’ve placed in us, the referrals you’ve shared, and the transformations you’ve allowed us to witness.

We’ve guided soon-to-be moms through mindful pre-natal movement. We’ve helped career-driven professionals rediscover strength and clarity. We’ve seen quiet moments of breathwork turn into breakthroughs. And none of it would have happened without you.

A Studio Rooted in Purpose

Speranza—means hopewas never meant to be just a space. It was always about intention: expert-led movement, personalized care, and a sense of community where everyone feels seen. Whether in a 1-on-1 session or a full group mat class, our mission has remained the same—to help you understand your body better and live well, intentionally.

The studio was founded by Nadine Sta. Ana, a wellness advocate whose own life was transformed by the practice of Pilates. With mentorship from Ms. Vivian Zapanta—one of Asia’s most respected names in Pilates and the Philippines’ only licensed STOTT PILATES® training center operator—Nadine brought Speranza to life with a vision of excellence, grace, and deep human care.

We are proud to serve from our location at Unit SE 203 C2 Building, Bonifacio High Street Central, 7th Avenue corner 28th Street, BGC, offering a wide range of Pilates programs that honor the body and uplift the spirit.

What Makes Us Different

Our team of certified instructors doesn’t just teach movement. We guide you through a process of understanding your body, embracing progress, and building sustainable strength from the inside out.

Here’s what you’ll find at Speranza:

  • Private 1-on-1 Pilates Sessions using world-class Merrithew™ equipment

  • Clinical/Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Pilates customized for expecting mothers at every trimester

  • Group Classes including Mat Pilates, The Fascianator, V2Max Reformer, Total Barre, and more

  • Rehabilitation & Postural Programs informed by STOTT principles

  • STOTT PILATES® Training Ground for aspiring instructors in partnership with Ms. Zapanta

At the heart of it all? A belief that wellness should feel welcoming—not intimidating.

A Message from Nadine Sta. Ana

“When we opened Speranza, it wasn’t about the space—it was about the people. I had one dream: to build a place where movement felt safe, empowering, and intentional. A place where people could reconnect with themselves. The fact that so many have made Speranza a part of their weekly rhythm is something I will never take for granted. This blog is our way of giving back—sharing insights, stories, and conversations that matter.”
Nadine Sta. Ana, Founder and Owner
