My husband and I first met Mao 6 years ago while searching for a gym close to our apartment in the center. As Americans new to Rome, we wanted a gym with classes and equipment. We quickly came to be regulars in Mao's mat and cardio classes there. Fast forward to a couple of years later and Mao moved to another part of Rome and opened F&P. We were hooked by then and followed him to the new studio. The new location is out of our way, but the benefit of doing Pilates twice a week with Mao far outweighs the commute from one side of the city to the other (except when the buses decide not to come!). Mao is professional, fun, adapts the sessions to our abilities, and over the years he also has become a friend. Highly, highly recommend this studio for Romans and expats alike. Mao was born in NY, lived for a time in the U.K. and speaks English well.

I've wanted to get closer to the world of pilates for a long time and now I've finally found the perfect studio 🤩 Mao is incredible, super professional and attentive in every way! A warranty. I highly recommend it! With Mao you never get bored, it's not just about physical training but also mental training! It is the perfect place to feel good, where time passes at a gentle pace that is good for the heart

A super welcoming pilates studio where you will be looked after with passion and great care by Mao. You will find professionalism and great experience but also enthusiasm and joy. With Mao you never get bored, because while you recover your physical well-being you spend carefree moments where laughter never fails!!

I am really happy to have found out about this center. Mao is an extremely trained professional and a special person, who follows you step by step throughout the lesson and who cares about your health. I'm sorry I didn't know about it before. Absolutely recommended centre!

I met Mao following the recommendation of some of my friends who frequent his studio and they strongly recommended him to me... and they were absolutely right. Mao is prepared and professional and you can sense that for him pilates lessons are not a simple "job", but a passion. For this reason he is always cheerful and friendly, fundamental aspects to make the lessons enjoyable and which are always fun and never boring (as single pilates lessons could be), and are now indispensable for my physical well-being. Lastly, the studio is studied in every detail, so lessons are taught in a very pleasant and relaxing environment. I highly recommend it!.

I met Mao following the recommendation of one of his former students Manu by participating in his online lessons during the quarantine period. From my previous experiences, I could immediately appreciate his high professionalism, his preparation, his teaching (in addition to explaining the exercises very well, he was able to correct our mistakes without seeing us!!!!), his kindness. I waited for the Center to reopen and went to meet it in person (I have postural problems linked to a road accident that occurred years ago). I must say that my expectations were not disappointed at all. Mao is unique, serious, prepared, professional, nice.....I dare say brilliant...... The studio is a real jewel.....very clean, welcoming, familiar, with attention to every detail, relaxing I would say...a harmony of sounds and scents..... I highly recommend it.

The studio is welcoming, clean and equipped with many machines. Mao is an extraordinary teacher — in addition to being very knowledgeable, you can feel his love for his work. Fusion Power Pilates is a complete physical and mental experience, and after trying this method I could no longer abandon it.

The studio is really very welcoming. Mao, the teacher, is a highly trained person who has managed to solve all the problems I had in various parts of the body with Pilates exercises, having undergone five spinal operations... As for me, I will never leave him more!

The "weight" of age began to make itself felt and I had no doubts who to turn to to "straighten" my troubles and ailments! Mao is a highly trained professional and very attentive to personal needs. The journey to get there is really worth it!

When you arrive at the F&P studio you immediately feel at home. Once you cross the threshold, you are surrounded by a relaxing and familiar atmosphere; among the harmony of sounds and scents that only this corner can offer, master Mao follows his students with seriousness, preparation and professionalism. A place where you want to return more and more every time.

Wonderful experience!!! I was skeptical and I changed my mind, the instructor is an incredible person, very knowledgeable, empathetic and multifaceted. The atmosphere is private, welcoming and very relaxing. Excellent level of cleanliness and availability in finding useful times for appointments. In addition to the physical benefit, the psychological one should not be underestimated, in short, a 360° cuddle!!!

MAO is an extraordinary and very knowledgeable teacher and has the great quality of making you work hard while smiling, time flies by and you don't notice the effort!!! Fantastic, thank you!!!! What a great fortune to have found you! 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️👏🏻🎉

The teacher is very knowledgeable, I solved all my back problems where years of therapy had not solved them. Furthermore, the studio is very beautiful and welcoming and you are pampered as if you were in a spa... super recommended

Great place, professionalism and courtesy. Thanks to "Mao", the owner and a delightful person, I solved the hip problems that had been plaguing me for a long time. Thank you very much
