About us: the Body Zone team in Finale Ligure

We're Gioele and Sabina. We teach in small groups because we want to get to know the people who come to us: how they move, what they're looking for, what they need today.

The team

Two people, one way of working: explain clearly, correct calmly, adapt every exercise.

How we work

Before we ask you to do a single exercise, we sit down and talk: how you feel, what you enjoy, what worries you. From there we choose the discipline and group together. Then, in the studio, we stick to four principles.

  • We listen. Your needs come before the programme.

  • Small groups. We have time to watch and correct you.

  • Exercises made for you. In the same group, everyone does their own version.

  • One step at a time. We only increase the difficulty when the movement is under control.

Born within Belli dalla Testa ai Piedi

Body Zone is an amateur sports association (associazione sportiva dilettantistica) born within Belli dalla Testa ai Piedi, the beauty and wellbeing centre at Via del Cigno 2d. Classes take place in our studio at Via Generale Arnaldi 1, also in Finale Ligure, with the same spirit as the centre: a warm welcome, care and no judgement.
