How this woman is helping people get stronger every day

Onelife Studio is celebrating their 10th year

Just like how the weather can get colder during the ‘ber’ months and warmer during summer, a woman’s body goes through different seasons. Going through these physical changes can be challenging, and this is where Onelife Studio comes in—to make women stronger so that they can go through life with more ease.
Onelife Studio, the first and only fully Filipino-owned Clinical Pilates and Physical Therapy studio in the Philippines, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. In 2013, Onelife grew from a general fitness studio to a space that champions each and every woman. The studio prides itself on providing them with highly personalized programs to help nurture all aspects of their lives. “We wanted to create a space where women could work on their health without feeling self-conscious, intimidated, or overwhelmed. Onelife is committed to bring every woman the specialized care she needs as she goes through her different seasons,” says Tanya Maria Aguila, founder of Onelife Studio. Boasting one of the largest teams of licensed physical therapists and internationally-certified pilates coaches, Onelife Studio is able to combine and deliver the best of Pilates, Physical Therapy, and Functional Training. They also developed the Onelife Care Tracks which determines the specific program a woman needs at a certain life stage. This includes General Fitness for those starting and tracking their journey back to health, Weight Loss & Toning for those who want to shed a few pounds, and Posture Improvement for those who want to address body pains, and adapt and sustain a healthy lifestyle to bring their bodies from better to best. There are also Care Tracks that are specific to a group of people. There’s the Injury Rehab & Management for women who have chronic orthopedic conditions or who are recovering from an injury. For new and first-time moms, there’s the Pre/Post Natal Fitness to help them prepare for motherhood and heal from giving birth. Onelife Studio carries the complete Pilates equipment including the Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze Table, and Pilates Chair among many others. These are available in all branches. Single In-studio Personal Training sessions start at P1,250, but new clients can take advantage of the New-To-Onelife Starter Pack for P5,000 which includes one Health, Fitness and Posture Assessment session, three personal training sessions, and one Physio-Led Stretch.

Women for women

Reaching one year is already a big achievement but hitting a decade of running a business led by women for women is a feat worth celebrating. For its 10th anniversary, Onelife Studio is going back to its roots and putting the stories of every #OnelifeWoman at the fore with the #MovementForHer campaign. Aly Yap-Vicencio, first time mom at 31, shares her postpartum journey with Onelife Studio. “I felt so pathetic that I couldn’t seem to work out without feeling like my insides were going to come out of me, because of my Diastasis Recti. Going into the program, I just wanted to close the gap so that I can work out “properly” again. I slowly started to see it as more than just a workout or rehab. I’ve come to realize that it’s also therapy—physical, emotional, and mental therapy.” Physical changes in a woman’s body are usually associated with pregnancy. While that is true, women still experience changes they may need help with addressing – like injuries and other body pains. Being a studio that specializes in both clinical Pilates and physical therapy with licensed professionals, women can be confident with their healing process with Onelife Studio. Hear it from 43-year-old Kathlyn Cham, a mom of 3, who has had chronic pain in her neck and shoulders. “I was told that I have some degeneration in my spine around 4 to 5 years ago. During the pandemic, I finally decided to pursue strength training by way of Pilates. I feel that by working on exercises that avoid putting strain on my neck, I am able to work out my entire body in a session. The stretching exercises have been a great help and I noticed that I have fewer episodes than before.” This proves how much care and detail Onelife Studio puts in making sure that every #OnelifeWoman has the proper care they deserve—and more. Whether that’s through finding solutions for body pains, ensuring a healthy pregnancy and postpartum healing process, or simply adapting a new training program that works for them and their schedule, Onelife is present every step of the way. “Through the years, we’ve had countless women walk through our doors and we’ve become part of their journeys back to health and more. As we enter our 10th year, I’m proud to say that we know women best,” adds Aguila. So if there’s another thing that these women can agree on, it’s that Onelife Studio is the key to achieve the best and healthiest version of themselves as they go through different seasons and different changes in life. *Visit [www.theonelifestudio.com](http://www.theonelifestudio.com) for more information.*
