Alejandro Forbes
PILATES & SCULPT INSTRUCTOR
Mat Pilates & Sculpt Certified | Reformer Certified | Pre-Postnatal Certified
Born and raised in Colombia, Alejandro grew up in a family passionate about fitness, surrounded by soccer and basketball. While he appreciated the discipline of traditional sports, he didn’t always feel fully aligned with those environments. Instead, he found his love for movement in community-driven spaces where fitness felt empowering, fun, and deeply personal.
After moving to Miami, the first class he ever tried was hot Pilates at Fuze House in October 2023, and that’s where everything shifted. What started as curiosity quickly became purpose. After immersing himself in the practice, he pursued his Mat Pilates and Sculpt certifications, later expanding into Reformer and continued teacher training throughout 2024.
His teaching style blends classical foundations with a modern, athletic edge. Expect intentional sequencing, a little spice, and a strong emphasis on connection,both to your body and to the energy in the room. Music plays a big role in his classes, with playlists that often feature reggaeton and high-energy beats to keep you moving with confidence.
