About Us
John McCallum – 3rd Generation Pilates Instructor & Studio Owner
I am a Fully Certified Comprehensive Pilates Teacher of the 3rd Generation and the proud owner of The Pilates Studio, Jalon. His fascination with Pilates dates back to 2006, sparked by a profound interest that took root after experiencing a debilitating injury resulting in three slipped discs. Faced with the recommendation of surgery from medical professionals, John discovered the immense benefits of Pilates during this challenging time. With unwavering dedication, he transformed into a devoted Pilates student, regularly participating in classes. Through rigorous Pilates practice, he successfully rehabilitated his discs, ultimately avoiding the need for surgery.
Witnessing his own remarkable recovery journey through Pilates, John decided to deepen his connection with the discipline by becoming an instructor. His goal was to share the transformative potential of Pilates with others. He has since achieved full certification as both a Mat and Studio Teacher. John’s educational journey continues as he immerses himself in the Advanced Pilates curriculum provided by the Pilates Centre Malta and other prestigious Teacher Training Programs.
Committed to professional growth, John has embarked on extensive journeys to the USA and Europe, consistently refining his expertise. His ability to inspire serves as a testament to his genuine dedication to the Pilates method. Clients, ranging from those referred by medical practitioners to athletes seeking enhanced performance, collectively acknowledge John’s profound impact.
Anita Horry - 2nd Generation Pilates Luminary
My introduction to Pilates came as a response to chronic back pain, and it turned out to be my salvation. My journey began with Power Pilates/Universal Pilates training in Spain. Venturing further, I pursued education in the United States under the tutelage of Pilates Elder Lolita San Miguel, engaging in an enriching two-year Pilates Master Mentor Program.
To deepen my expertise, I dedicated another year to the LEAP Program guided by the late Master Teacher Bob Liekens. These transformative experiences underscored the significance of merging the Classical Pilates methodology with functional innovations in movement – a philosophy that defines the essence of Pilates Centre.
My personal commitment revolves around instilling alignment not only in my own life but also in the lives of those I encounter daily. My aim is to contribute to making their presence on this planet more positive. It's an honor for me to carry forward the invaluable teachings of Joseph Pilates to my students.
Witnessing profound physical transformations and witnessing the incredible mental connections between mind and body aligning harmoniously within our students is an immensely gratifying experience.
As a co-founder of the Anita Horry Academy, I am dedicated to offering a Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training course, alongside other workshops and courses tailored for fitness professionals.
