Dina Matty
“People don’t really know how good their bodies can feel…..we help our clients find within themselves what they don’t even know is there.”
Born in London and dancing from the age of 4, Dina graduated from the Royal Academy of Dance in 1983. Her career in Dance took her across the world many times. From 1991 to 1997, Dina began to focus more on Aerobics, both as an Instructor and as a competitor, as well as gaining her Personal Trainer Qualifications. On this journey, she became the UK Women’s Individual Aerobics Champion on two separate occasions and placed 5th and 12th as the Women’s Individual World Aerobics Champion.
Keith put an end to all of this globetrotting fun by marrying Dina at Sanctuary Cove in 1996, and she has called the Gold Coast home ever since. Moving to Australia from Los Angeles and missing the high standards from her previous training and working environment, Dina soon founded Pulse Fitness & Personal Training, raising the bar for personal training standards on the Gold Coast.
In 2000, Dina was so lucky she studied the Classical Pilates Method with Romana Kryzanowska, Sari Pace & Cynthia Lochard. The teachings of Joseph Pilates so inspired Dina that she continually educated herself in the Classical Pilates Method over the following 20 years, regularly travelling, training and teaching in New York, Sydney, Beijing and Auckland. Surrounded daily by clients, instructors and apprentices, Dina is seeing her community grow and evolve. Now a Level 3 Teacher Trainer, Dina continues to inspire us all; sharing her years of training experience and upholding her belief that anyone, is capable, with willpower and determination, to become their very best through training in the Classical Pilates Method.
kalliopy robertson
Kalliopy was 18 when she moved to Australia to start a new life adventure. Born in Rhodes, Greece, Kalliopy has lived in Melbourne, Singapore, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and New York but has always called the beautiful Gold Coast home.
Kalliopy’s journey into the world of Pilates started in her 40’s when she needed to get fit, fight the flab and menopausal symptoms. Practicing Pilates did just that, and she is proud to say that it has been a daily fixture in her life since 1996.
Teaching at PULSE GC since 2014, Kalliopy enjoys teaching all ages and levels with expertise in helping people with scoliosis, torticollis and spinal stenosis.
My passion and thorough knowledge of Pilates keeps me fit in mind, body and soul, and I love that an also extend this knowledge to my students. I have had the wonderful opportunity to be taught by some of the best teachers around the globe and embracing the thought that I am always learning, even at 68. If there is one thing Pilates has taught me is that you can be strong, fit and happy no matter what your age!”
When Kalliopy is not busy teaching, she is in her garden, cooking or keeping up with her family and friends on Facebook. She also like to travel and take the time to meet new people - all while practicing Pilates of course.
