Trainings & Certifications
Martine Vuursteen discovered her love for Pilates & Barre in 2007 while living in the US with her family. It was an instant connection, and it beautifully blended her passion for Movement. She started dancing when she was three years old- with a focused & effective workout routine. She quickly realized that both practices provided her with strength, length, and a renewed sense of alignment in her body. To this day, it serves as her daily meditation practice.
In 2014, Martine completed an intensive Barre training program at Forme Barre in the US. Upon returning to the Netherlands, she started teaching barre as one of the first ones in The Netherlands.
Martine quickly expanded her expertise by completing her Stott Pilates Mat training in The Hague, Hot Pilates Teacher training, and recently Hot Yoga Teacher training (both at Movements). This diverse knowledge of complementary movement styles enriches her understanding of how the body moves. Martine has lead several Barre teacher trainings, and she has been part of the Hot Pilates Teacher Training team at Movements for 3 years.
Martine is dedicated to teaching & has been teaching for over 10 years now. Her classes are full of energy & have a strong focus on alignment. She loves witnessing the transformation in her clients. She enjoys seeing them arrive with a smile and leave feeling stronger, energized, and aligned after each class.

Steph.
Trainings & Certifications
Steph Ingerman is originally from New York and has called Europe home for the past 7.5 years. Her fitness journey began in New York, where she discovered how much regular movement could do for her mental health and wellbeing. She fell in love with Pilates after an injury led her to physiotherapy on the reformer, which sparked a deeper appreciation for the method.
With a background in corporate brand strategy + activations, Steph made the leap into teaching fitness full-time. She holds globally accredited certifications in group fitness instruction, personal training, mat and reformer Pilates, and barre. She is Balanced Body certified and is currently completing her BASI Comprehensive Pilates certification.
A natural helper, Steph loves helping people of all backgrounds feel safer, stronger, and more confident in their bodies. She is equally driven by helping instructors develop their own teaching styles. She believes clear communication, thoughtful cueing, and making clients feel understood are what separate a good instructor from a truly great one.
While she loves the precision of classical Pilates, Steph also has a serious soft spot for sweaty, beat-driven sculpt classes like Pilates Burn, where the music takes over and everyone can switch off from the outside world.
After calling Movements her “second home” for almost 2 years, Steph is incredibly excited to step into her new role as Lead Pilates Teacher alongside Martine, mentoring the next generation of instructors and leading the Hot Pilates Teacher Training!
