Pilates, Massage, Manual Therapy, SimplyBe

Tenía cita para osteopatía el día 11 de diciembre de 2023 a las 12:00 horas. El correo electrónico de confirmación enfatizó la importancia de llegar un poco temprano para una sesión informativa introductoria y declaró explícitamente que llegar tarde no era una opción. Siguiendo estas instrucciones, llegué a las 11:40 a. m., pero para mi consternación, no había nadie disponible para recibirme o dejarme entrar. A pesar de esperar hasta las 12:20 p. m., la puerta permaneció sin abrir. Resultó que simplemente no había nadie en el estudio. Mi cita no fue cancelada ni reprogramada y no recibí ninguna comunicación sobre ningún cambio. Esta falta de profesionalismo y comunicación fue muy decepcionante e inconveniente.

Fui a Barcelona de vacaciones por 3 semanas y quería mantenerme activo mientras estuviera allí. Encontré SimplyBe Pilates y me enamoré absolutamente del lugar. Estas son algunas de las muchas cosas que me encantan de SimplyBe: los entrenamientos fueron desafiantes, Devorah (la instructora/propietaria) fue súper amable y conocedora, los masajes fueron increíbles (y muy necesarios después de vuelos largos) y la ubicación fue muy conveniente. . ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera, local o visitante, de Barcelona que venga a visitar este lugar si le encanta el pilates!

La profesora que da barrepilates los martes y dice que es la dueña del lugar fue terriblemente grosera. Llegué literalmente 5 minutos tarde y ella me estaba castigando por no dar el material (una pelota) y después de pedirlo tres veces me dijo pero llegaste tarde. Incluso cuando lo dio hizo que la clase se detuviera y me señaló que llegué tarde. Después de que terminó la clase, le dije que en realidad eso fue de mala educación y me hizo sentir incómodo. Y sus respuestas me dejaron boquiabierto, después de señalar nuevamente que llegué 5 minutos tarde y hacerle saber que preferiría que no me dejara participar en la clase si 5 minutos tarde era un problema que la forma en que reaccionó y me obligó. Sentir. Ella dijo que ella es la dueña y actuó así porque no le gustaba mi vibra, porque soy demasiado exigente, preguntó mi nombre y que hablaría con alguien… (dijo un nombre que ahora no recuerdo) para prohibirme ir al centro. Todavía en shock por su actitud. Además de esto, sus habilidades de enseñanza son pobres, explica los movimientos demasiado rápido porque habla demasiado rápido.

¡He estado asistiendo regularmente a la clase de Barre durante varios meses y se ha convertido en mi clase favorita! Una gran combinación de movimientos de tonificación y cardio más un estiramiento profundo al final. Me voy sintiendo que he hecho un gran entrenamiento y además, gracias a otros asistentes habituales, ¡también he hecho algunos amigos en la clase!

Llevo unos meses asistiendo a clases de pilate y es un placer participar siempre. ¡Definitivamente he visto resultados en mi cuerpo, más tonificado y flexible! El buen rollo del estudio y la paciencia de los profesores te permiten sentirte seguro y progresar a tu propio ritmo. Lo recomiendo 100%

Masaje y osteopatía, para la curación de lesiones muy graves en el hombro:

Tuve graves lesiones en el hombro por levantar pesas.mezcla de tendinitis del bíceps, otros tendones inflamados y tensión extrema en el hombro izquierdo.en un momento fue tan malo que ni siquiera podía usar el brazo izquierdo cuando conducía un automóvil.

Había tenido las lesiones durante unos 6-7 meses cuando comencé el tratamiento aquí. Ya había intentado estiramientos y descansos del ejercicio.no ayudó.

Inicio de masaje (tejido profundo) y terapia de osteopatía con Devorah en mayo.en promedio 1 sesión a la semana. 2 meses después, estoy libre de todas las lesiones en el hombro y vuelvo a levantar pesas pesadas sin dolor ni tensión en absoluto.

Buen servicio, alta profesionalidad, muy amable.

Recomendado para cualquiera que esté levantando pesas o sea muy activo físicamente, para la curación y prevención de lesiones.

El año pasado fui 5 veces, las clases me parecían correctas, eso que nunca había hecho pilates. La ultima clase fui con una amiga que ella entendía más ingles que yo, y me comentó que la dueña delante de todo el mundo se estuvo burlando de mi en inglés (cosa que yo no entendía del todo bien), diciendo que yo nunca hacía bien las posturas, entre otras cosas que soltó. Me parece una vergüenza y una falta de respeto hacia los clientes, y más los que están intentando aprender.

No he vuelto ni volveré más. Para nada recomendable, sobretodo por su Dueña.

Publicidad engañosa tanto del tipo de clase como del precio. Atención al cliente grosera al tratar de resolver el problema, experiencia general muy desagradable.
PUBLICIDAD FALSA: anunciaba Pilates y la clase era de estiramiento y tonificación con solo unos pocos ejercicios y en su mayoría estiramientos muy fáciles.
SOBRECARGA:
Hubo un sobrecargo, me quejé y el servicio de atención al cliente me llamó para culparme por el uso incorrecto del cupón, me gritó y me notificó que si quería un reembolso, una comisión (2 euros) correría por mi cuenta. ¡¿Qué tan mezquino es? ! La mujer fue grosera, agresiva y nunca se disculpó por la situación.
Les doy los pocos centavos que me deben, simplemente no quiero que me traten así nunca más, por supuesto, no en una clase de Pilates donde vienes a hacer ejercicio y relajarte. Me costó más nervios que los tres abdominales que jamás repararían. Terrible actitud del cliente

Had my first barre class there with Dora! It was an amazing experience, she is so nice and I really enjoyed the class and the atmosphere in the studio! Highly recommended! I will definitely come back:)

One of the best massages I've ever had. An Osteopath giving a relaxation massage had the extra benefit of her finding the areas that needed extra attention after dragging my suitcase around for weeks. The perfect balance between therapeutic pressure and relaxation. The building was beautiful, the room was private and I was treated to a beautiful service.

Laura is an amazing teacher, she’s equipped me with a personalised Pilates programme that I can use everyday to help with my mobility. Her massages are also great. Would highly recommend for anyone in Barcelona looking for a quality Pilates teacher.

So happy I found Devorah. I‘ve been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for months. The osteopathic treatments make me feel better again. She released the trigger points and explained what the issues are. Now I’m doing my mobility exercises and feel good again. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Gracias Devorah for help with my sports injury and general body work. Amazing deep tissue and general rehabilitation work - definitely feel on the road to recovery after the sessions at SimplyBe! Hasta pronto!

SimplyBe is a wonderful bright and spacious Pilates studio! The teacher is very professional and always make sure to correct our position if we are doing bad movements. Recommend to everyone:)

Been going for several months now, I was new to Pilates but had done yoga for years, and almost gutted I didn't go sooner as Devorah is a great instructor who clearly has a lot of experience in teaching! My back issues are becoming a lot better, plus the lessons are high energy and super fun:)

So, I signed up to one of these classes the day before and happened to be sick the day of the class. I texted the teacher to ask her if it was possible to reschedule and she went like: nope sorry 24 hour notice. Although I understand that they need to secure the spot I didn’t ask for any reimbursement just to be able to come to another class.
Funny enough you can sign up up until 3 hours before the class (just in case they could earn more money), but the other way around doesn’t work. That shows me that this person is only after money and lacks empathy and flexibility.

El mejor sitio de Barcelona para hacer pilates! Mucha variedad de horarios y flexibilidad para reservar desde su sistema en su web. Desde que hago pilates aquí me siento mucho mejor y hay mucha variedad de clases también. Devorah es un amor y te ayudará en cualquier cosa! 100% recomendable.

Had an amazing first osteopathic treatment and massage from Devorah. She was totally amazing! For someone with chronic back and neck pains caused by scoliosis, I frequent the chiropractor a lot and regularly receive physical therapy and massage. Hands down the best massage I've ever received (and I get a massage in every country I visit). I am very particular with massage and the problem areas. So I'm really impressed at how extremely accurate and strong Devorah was. From beginning to the end of the session, she was very thorough with every single muscle connected to my problem areas and paid close attention to what I needed more of (including the specific type of exercises I need to do). The chiro massage that I got combines manipulation/adjustments and massage well; and my treatment was completely customized to my needs. I would recommend this strongly to anyone visiting Barcelona esp with all the walking the city requires. I already booked another appointment and I'm looking forward to it! Also the studio, and location is really nice!

I had one of the best massages I've ever received at SimplyBe. I was visiting Barcelona while 7 months pregnant and wish I could have packed Deborah up in my suitcase. She is so knowledgeable and offers true deep massage pressure that is very therapeutic. I'm so grateful I stumbled upon SimplyBe and will certainly go back for another massage and try the pilates classes whenever I'm back in town. Thank you for providing such great services to help women stay strong in their pregnancies.

It was a blast. I’ve been at a lot of good therapists/massagers over the world, I have to say that this Sportmassage was one of the best I’ve ever had. Thx for that.

I started attending mat pilates classes with Devorah about half a year ago, and it has tremendously helped with my posture and back pain. The classes are always fun and energetic and the ambience of the studio is friendly and welcoming to all! I highly recommend SimplyBe:)

I started my pre natal pilates classes when I was 6 month pregnant and I have to say it was the best decision I took during pregnancy. Classes can be intense but also relaxing with a lot of stretching. The intense classes made me realize that I could still be very active in my day to day while still giving me awareness of what I shouldn't do. Size of classes are small enough so that the instructors can correct everyone, if needed. I practiced until two weeks before my baby boy was born and my recovery has been exceptionally quick and smooth. Thank you, Devorah, for the amazing service you provide. You're definitely contributing a lot to people during a very special moment in their lives. I'll be forever grateful

Very good services!

Professional, great facilities, skilled and very flexible.

Special mention for the osteopathic sessions!

Amazing! Got 3 appointments in a week after a flight from Oz left me very stiff and sore. Am sure D helped me enjoy the rest of the time in Spain instead of missing out. Highly recommended.

I found Devorah at SimplyBe when I was looking for help with sciatica pain in the third trimester of my pregnancy. My pain had gotten so bad that I could barely walk. Through osteopathy massage sessions, Devorah completely guided my recovery, and in just a few sessions I was able to move around pain free. Her massages and advice were truly a lifesaver, and I highly recommend her services for anyone suffering from sciatica/back pain during pregnancy!

Absolutely recommend! The classes of Deborah physically have helped me so much, then in 3 post operations helping me re-gain strength during such immense changes. And of course they have all helped mentally.thank you!

Only few words are not enough to describe how great this pilates academy is. Devorah is very experienced and responsible professional. She's always monitoring how well students are following, correcting and listening to students need. Signing up her classes for several months, my core body & thighs have strengthened a lot, surely will get better and better if I continue longer which I am going to do so. For anyone who wants to find a quality place for your body, try this school.

Me encanto el masaje con osteopatía que ofrecen. La masajista me ha quitado muchos tensiones y contracturas y salí del centro flotando. Muy recomendable

Simply put I have never felt so stable, flexible and comfortable in my posture after a massage here. Had about three massages whilst on holiday in Barcelona which says a lot. Looking forward to be back! /Emil

SimplyBe is an incredible Pilates studio! Devorah is a true professional and expert in Pilates with a team that backs her talents. The classes are professionally run, providing a range of levels week on week- it's a great workout that respects the integrity of the Pilates code. The studio is bright and spacious and it feels like joining an extended family of like-minded enthusiasts! I've been going for a year and love joining my classes week on week. Recommend to everyone of all levels. Dee, thanks for keeping the studio innovative and challenging!

He recibido clases de pilates para embarazadas, ideales para manteneme en forma durante este proceso. Las clases son muy dinámicas y aptas para todos los niveles. Déborah es una excelente profesional, se preocupa por todas sus alumnas, sus clases son bilingües, las recomiendo.

Wonderful Pilates classes and therapeutic massage. Amazing, very firm and deep massages for my shoulders and neck that have helped immensely with recurrent pain there. In combination with Pilates to strengthen my body overall, this is a practice I will keep returning to for years to come.

I really enjoy the classes. I had done Pilates before at other places, but here it’s so much better and never gets boring.

My experience with Simplybepilates has only been positive.
I had never done Pilates before but I was very well taken care of and I saw a great deal of progress in only a few months
I can highly recommend going here for Pilates classes because in my five months in Barcelona I have never felt more strong and flexible in my whole life.

Best pilates classes in town, dynamic and organized. The space is big and well kept. Would definitely recommend to anyone. It’s my third month here and I absolutely love it!

Devorah is a phenomenal masseuse and healer. I sought help for serious neck pain and was suffering from recent foot injuries. She is caring and has a good approach in treating injuries.

If you are looking for a great mat pilates instructor (in both English and Spanish), Devorah’s classes are excellent and diversified for all levels.

I am grateful for the relief that SimplyBe's osteopathy and message therapy has brought. Devorah has provided a blend of active and passive therapeutic interventions, creating a planned approach for targeting my back pain. She is an excellent communicator; Devorah speaks multiple languages, confirms schedules, and shares her passion in a positive and encouraging manner. Thank you!

Excellent place for Pilates. I love the reformer Pilates machine. I started with super low mobility in my left shoulder and before the end of the 10 session pack I could lift my arm all the way above my head.
Thank you for pushing me even on the days I feel lazy!

Just joined these classes, so happy to have found them. Perfect Pilates environment, clean studio with breeze flowing through the stunning open doors. Largest class I've attended had 7 people, perfect for "proper Pilates' as Devorah can check on everyone for for every exercise to ensure you are managing and doing properly. Also no where to hide, if like me you need someone spurring you on. Have really enjoyed both classes so immediately signed up for the month plan. I left both classes feeling wonderful both physically and mentally. I felt my body had been challenged in all the right places and that in turn left me feeling like I'd really achieved and ready for the week. Devorah was very welcoming and relaxed and I felt at ease and in safe hands. I recommend these classes to all abilities as the class suits all with Drvorah adjusting each exercise to suit you. I haven't done Pilates in 10 years and I'm greatly out of shape so was feeling very nervous about starting. I needn't have worried. Thanks Devorah

Devorah is not only fantastic in her knowledge but also the way she treats you & really cares about your well-being. I suffer from a very complex problem but thanks to Devorah with the great work she's doing the symptoms have been reducing.

Un centro de pilates maravilloso! El personal es profesional y simpático. Asisto a clases de pilates para embarazadas y me ayuda muchísimo a mantenerme en forma y cuidar mi espalda de forma segura para el bebé! Además, la profesora es bilingüe inglés español. Estoy encantada! Lo recomiendo 100%.

He realizado las clases de Pilates para embarazadas durante tres meses y estoy encantada.las clases son muy entretenidas. Deborah está siempre pendiente de que las embarazadas estemos haciendo los ejercicios correctamente y sin hacernos daño el ambiente en general es muy agradable. Muy puntuales y responsables. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Gracias.

En mi viaje a Barcelona pasé demasiado tiempo en el el avión y caminando conociendo la ciudad. Necesitaba un lugar para encontrar la paz y relajar mi cuerpo, así que busqué un estudio cerca de La Dreta de l'Eixample y así fue como encontré a Devorah en Simplybe. Sin ella mi viaje se habría arruinado.

Received a great massage from Giuliana the other day. Very knowledgable therapist, enjoyed the combination of shiatsu in her treatments. I had an old injury flare up and Giuliana performed a lymphatic massage. Helped immensely and she also gave me some useful follow up exercises too. Seeing her again and highly recommend. Thanks!

I started with Pilates classes at the beginning of my pregnancy and I love it! I do both private and class and I very much enjoy both. Devorah really takes into consideration the pregnancy and the different levels/stages and is an absolute professional. By far the best work out you can do during your pregnancy. The center is more than just a Pilates studio as I also had a couple of massages done during the physically challenging pregnancy weeks:) highly recommend!

Una profesora muy capacitada y sobretodo preocupada por cada condición o problema que tenga el alumno, siendo la clase más personalizada. Yo llegue con mucho dolor de espalda y poco a poco el dolor está desapareciendo gracias a los ejercicios de pilates, yo recomiendo la clase de Simply be Pilates!

I've been going to Devorah's pilates classes for 1,5 years now and I absolutely love it! Devorah is extremely knowledgeable, I like the pace of the classes and she's also an incredible osteopath.

If you need a real massage she's your person in Barcelona!

The team that keeps my back and shoulders from hurting! Especially after working from home for the last six months.

Highly recommend the pilates classes for a regular stretch and workout. The studio has a nice, calming ambiance that welcomes you every time. The restorative massage was great as well!

I have had the pleasure of being part of a small class devorah has taught at her studio in the eixample. I have gotten so much out of her classes, both mentally and physically. Devorah is a knowledgable teacher, she makes her classes adaptable, she encourages you to do your best for you
I always look forward to one of devorah classes as I know I will be feeling calm and centred after the class. I would recommend everyone to try out one of her classes, you won’t regret it!

Una excelente profesionalidad con destreza y conocimiento yo he probado sesiones de osteopatía y la verdad es que me fueron super bien! Aconsejable cien por cien!

Fabulous pilates and yoga classes in English and Spanish. Devorah is w wonderful instructor who is always introducing new moves. The classes are small enough that she can make corrections. Highly Recommend.

I've had back problems all my life so decided to start private pilates and osteopath sessions at SimplyBe. Devorah has been great. She's taken me through the exercises step-by-step and explains everything very clearly. She's the first person who I've been to who doesn't simply give me generic stretches to do but rather takes time to understand my particular challenges and customises the sessions accordingly. Would definitely recommend.

With a frantic need to find someone to help my back pain I discovered Devorah online. My first consolation and osteopath session I knew I had found the solution to my daily back discomfort. I quickly signed up for my osteopath sessions and immediately walked and felt wonderfully different and painfree. I am convinced she has magic healing powers! I now go to her fantastic pilates classes twice a week which I love. She is passionate about pilates and fitness and very talented and professional. Cannot recommend highly enough:)

The Pilates class is the best I've been to. A well structured small class that meets the needs of all the students. Devorah is a experienced and knowledgeable teacher who will adapt exercises according to needs.

I came for a massage. The therapist, Julie, was amazing. She knew exactly what was my issue and knew how to help me with my back and neck problem

I recommend to go. I got herniated disk and took private pilates classes twice a week. My mobility improved a lot and I also became pain free in just a month.

Fui hace unos años a estas clases de pilates y, aunque ahora me quedan lejos de casa y del trabajo, he vuelto a ir porque son buenas. Devorah hace las clases muy animadas, te corrige y además hace ejercicios adecuados a las dolencias que tengas. Noto como voy mejorando y cómo me encuentro mejor de la espalda. Devorah es osteópata, así que más de una vez me ha dado masajes también.

Get my best recommendation! I have a disc hernia and had a lot of pain. As an osteopath Dovorah is so talented and you are always comfortable in her hands and you always feel better when you go home. For Pilates class she gives individual focus and guidance so everyone gets most out of the class. It’s nice to come as new! Dovorah always has a big smile so even if you are in lot of pain you day will be better! She can do magic

Pilates "de verdad"! Deborah es fantástica y sus clases de pilates son serias (que no aburridas ;) y eficaces, tanto en suelo como en reformer.

I highly recommend Devorah's Pilates classes! Dynamique, fun, and very professional. The venue is great with a nice atmosphere!

Devorah’s classes are great!
It’s a fun dynamic class that is tailored for each person as Deborah knows exactly how far to push you (considering injuries and levels etc). You always come out of class feeling fab!

My Husband and I both have a history of back problems and where in urgent need of some therapy after traveling in Europe for 2 weeks. Simplybepilates gave us the fix we needed. Devorah is an excellent osteopath, in particular she takes the time to explain what the issues are and what she is doing, giving a better understanding of our bodies. Will highly recommend this place.

Ich habe lange nach einer Pilates Lehrerin gesucht, die fordert, detailliert und präzise arbeitet und zeitgleich super lustig und entspannt ist! Ich freue mich auf jede Pilates Stunde wie ein kleines Kind.und endlich sehe ich meine abs wieder

Devorah is a wonderful teacher. I was hesitant to try Pilates but between her private and group classes I'm now a huge fan.

I’ve recently moved to Barcelona and needed to find an Osteopath urgently, as well as Pilates instruction. The team at SimplyBe covers all of my needs at a high level of excellence and a lovely, caring style. My back pain has reduced and my fitness levels improved. Very glad I found this place! (also, the multi lingual environment is extremely useful!)

I started coming to Devorah's pilates classes in April 2017 and I have seen huge results. Since coming twice a week for the past year and a bit, I am stronger, leaner and more toned than ever before. Devorah is an excellent teacher with the perfect match of pace, technique and humour. She also differentiates for different levels without disturbing the flow of the session. I would definitely recommend her classes!

Devorah is a great Osteopath. She is very down to earth and provides a relaxing environment within which you can explain the history of your particular problem and receive diagnosis with an appropriate osteopathic manipulation and massage treatment. In just a couple of sessions the root of my injury problem became clear and I saw an improvement and a healing process was underway.

Devorah also takes Pilates classes and these are also relaxed but hard working. She will take into account individuals flexibility and any physical issues during the class, in order to guide you through without damaging yourself. The five stars I have given are hard earned and reflect the quality of the treatment you will receive!

He estat anant a les classes de SimplyBePilates des de la setmana 16 de l'embaràs, tant a les privades (pilates reformer) com a les grupals per embarassades. Devorah és una experta del pilates i una excel·lent, simpàtica i dinàmica professora que s'adapta perfectament a les necessitats de cada sessió. A més, els seus coneixements d'osteopatia i massatge també han jugar un rol significatiu en alguna de les seves classes. Les classes són entretingudes i de qualitat, i preparen el cos per gestionar millor el procés de part i per tenir una recuperació post-part més ràpida. Des de que vaig, jo em sento més forta, flexible, i amb millor postura i confiança en el meu cos. Molt recomanat!

Having never done pilates before, I saw a massive difference in my body following three months of pilates with Devorah, especially strength in my core, neck, and arms. As another reviewer says, I think her classes have a perfect balance of work and rest. It has been many more than three months now, and I still look forward to my classes with Simplybe Pilates.
