She is amazing! I have been taking Pilates classes with her. I have seen improvements in my strength, flexibility, posture, and overall well-being since starting with her. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and tailors each session to fit my needs. Highly recommended!

SW art of Pilates makes working out extra fun! And boy do you feel it the next day. I live out of town but visit frequently and this is a for sure stop as often as I can when I am in town. The best part is that my daughter loves to join me when she is also in town. I highly recommend this studio! It’s beautiful, clean, and the instruction is second to none. Check it out – you won’t regret it!

I love South West Art of Pilates! This is my first experience with studio Pilates, and Yavuz and Filiz are consummate professionals. My husband and I take weekly classes together with Yavuz. Yavuz is a dedicated instructor who guides our practice down to the smallest details. He notes every lifted shoulder, every bent knee, every slight spinal misalignment and helps us to adjust our positioning to maximize every movement! And he reminds us to breathe properly through it all. I really feel so strong and empowered after each session, and I am beginning to notice flexibility and strength gains along with improved body awareness. The studio is very clean and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and try it out!

Incredible private Pilates sessions! The master teacher, Filiz, is highly skilled and delivers a killer workout every time. I always leave feeling stronger, aligned, and energized. Best Pilates studio in Naples!

I’m very happy with my lessons here. The trainer (owner) is great with a very individual focused approach. Along with having a fantastic location. I’ve also seen plenty of results from going here and if you are considering going here I would highly recommend that you give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Pilates at SW Art of Pilates is truly an hour in heaven! I walk out feeling calmer, happier, and stronger every single time. Filiz is absolutely amazing – she has a knack for pushing me just a bit more with each class, helping me grow and challenge myself while keeping it enjoyable. I can't wait for my next session - and the one after that. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been doing pilates with South West Art of Pilates since Oct 2024. This has been our first experience with pilates and we are hooked! Yavuz & Filiz are fantastic teachers. They are patient, knowledgeable, appropriately challenging, and so very encouraging.
I have found that pilates has helped me recover from two surgeries (broken clavicle & cervical spine fusion) that I’ve had in the past 2 years. My strength and flexibility have improved significantly. Pilates has helped me to improve several areas of weakness and imbalance from past injuries. I see pilates remaining a permanent part of my fitness routine going forward.
I look forward to continuing to practice with Yavuz & Filiz at South West Art of Pilates!!

Filiz is an exceptionally talented, calm, and grounded Pilates trainer. I’ve worked with many experts over the years, including during my time in London, but Filiz has truly outshined everyone I’ve come across here in Naples, Florida.
After moving to Naples, I struggled to find the right studio or trainer to regain my momentum — until I found Filiz. Since then, I genuinely feel blessed. Her deep knowledge, intuitive approach, and expert guidance make me feel like I can continue this journey for a lifetime — growing stronger, more aligned, and more confident with every session.
She has a unique ability to elevate anyone’s practice, taking them to the next level with gentle yet firm encouragement. Working with her is not just training — it’s transformation. Highly recommend!
