About

My Pilates journey began in 2020 when I moved to Australia. I didn’t grow up with a sports background, and for years I felt disconnected from my body. Pilates was the first form of movement that made me feel strong, capable, and truly in control. It showed me that strength isn’t about pushing harder or chasing perfection. It’s about moving with intention and learning to trust your body.
What started as curiosity quickly became a passion, and in 2022 I became a certified Mat Pilates instructor. Since then, I’ve taught over 1,000 in-person classes across different styles including mat Pilates, reformer, barre and Lagree.
Through my own journey, I lost 10 kg, but what matters far more is what I gained along the way: confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection to my body and mind.
Through Sculpt by Marleen, I help people build real strength without burning out, sculpt their bodies with purpose, and feel stronger, more confident and joyful in everyday life. My goal is to make Pilates accessible, empowering, and something you can truly enjoy wherever you are.
I believe in sculpting strength from the inside out and building a foundation you can carry into every part of your life.
If you’re ready to feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to your body, I’d love to guide you.
With love,
Marleen 💋
