Meet Paola
“PBB is more than just a method. I designed my method to not only deliver an efficient workout but to also build a strong, supportive community. My platform is here to enhance and elevate you to be the very best version of yourself!”
Paola's passion for health and fitness began three decades ago in Australia, and led her to study at the Pilates Institute. Fifteen years ago, she revolutionised the fitness industry in London by developing her unique PBB Method before the fitness explosion. Paola wanted to create an edge and fun to the traditional ways of teaching Barre, Pilates and Yoga. She is a true trailblazer with her fusions and style, leading many in the industry to flock to her for inspiration when she first came onto the London fitness scene.

PBB SIGNATURE
PBB Signature defines the Paola's BodyBarre method (PBB)- created by founder Paola Di Lanzo.
It's dynamic, empowering, and intelligently designed using small Pilates apparatus and resistance (thera) bands. PBB Signature is a low-impact, yet high-energy workout, that seamlessly blends Pilates, ballet barre conditioning, and yoga flow for the ultimate full-body sculpt. Expect to flow barre to mat to keep you on your "toes."
You’ll move through a thoughtfully curated sequence that activates deep stabilising muscles while challenging the larger, global movers - creating long, lean lines, better posture, and a seriously strong core. The flow keeps you moving with purpose, intensity, and just the right amount of burn.
Expect results you can feel after just a few sessions - strength, tone, and confidence from the inside out.
Multi-level and suitable for all experience levels.
Barre socks required – no trainers needed!
PBB Burn & Sculpt
Mat-based, prop-powered, and seriously effective - PBB Burn & Sculpt delivers a full-body workout that fuses floor barre, contemporary Pilates, yoga, sculpting, and cardio intervals into one dynamic experience.
This barre-less class moves through flowing sequences on the mat, designed to challenge balance, refine posture, and elevate technique, all while staying grounded on the mat. We dial up the intensity using heavier hand weights, thigh bands, ankle weights, and bursts of plyometric cardiovascular bursts to keep your heart rate high.
Expect sweat, strength, and serious sculpting - all with that signature PBB mind-body focus.
Intermediate to advanced level. (Not recommended during pregnancy or postpartum recovery).
Barre socks required – no trainers needed!
