Our daily lives and our routines can be detrimental to our muscle and peritoneal function, even if we exercise on a schedule with dedication. The wrong repeated movements, whether they are included in our daily activities or in the gym, lead to chronic pains which in turn and with mathematical precision, cause from bad mood to depression.
Dafni Roilou, as a university gymnastics graduate specialized in Greek traditional dance, a master’s degree in the ‘Exercise and Quality of Life’ Program and a specialized in prevention-intervention-rehabilitation as well as an experienced group exercise leader in Pilates; through her personal path as an instructor, knows firsthand both the possibilities and the vulnerabilities that our bodies face. The strictly gym approach of Pilates in relation to the differentiation of the physical needs of each practitioner, was not her vision for personalized exercise and so she decided to establish DaFit at 40 Konstantinoupoleos Street, Nea Smyrni.
Within the small groups or personal classes and a wide range of training options based on one’s individual needs and capabilities of each body, here you will find all the necessary tools that will help you find your personal physical well-being. Using both Pilates Equipment (Pilates Reformer, Springboard, Exo Chair) in person and Pilates mat for online classes, Dafni provides all the appropriate instructions that promote uprightness and functionality of the musculoskeletal system during training and prevent the risk of injury.
Great emphasis is also placed on the good functioning and release of the fascia, which is rarely focused on in various training sessions, nevertheless being a very basic factor of physical flexibility. In the indoor services you will also find a stationary bike where you can practice your cardiorespiratory endurance individually and in a safe way, or incorporate it into the practice of Pilates equipment for a holistic workout. In each lesson or in separate targeted lessons, instructions are given for the correct physical positioning, so that we can enjoy a functional and discomfort-free body in our everyday life.
So even if you don’t like or have to stay away from any kind of exercise, at DaFit you will find all the information that will help you banish chronic pain in your daily routines. Dafni is a person who loves activities close to nature and this love has also been included in DaFit. With her you can enjoy outdoor Pilates, aqua aerobics, aqua Pilates, sup, sup Pilates and yoga as well as traditional Greek dances in nature, or hikes on the most beautiful trails (she is also a certified animator for outdoor leisure activities), get to know places through excursions and activities, such as wine tasting and connection with what each destination offers.
As practitioners and also as individuals we know very little about the structure and capabilities of our bodies and therefore many times out of ignorance and unconstructive zeal in practice, we cause more harm than good. Dafni and DaFit are the antidote to physical exertion of any kind and for this reason, in addition to the scheduled classes, she often organizes thematic sections of classes, useful for our everyday life, such as ‘exercise for office employees in a standing position’ or ‘Myofascial release with Foam Roller’, while in the future the studio will include yoga classes for those who wish to combine physical exercise with balancing the nervous system and relaxation.
DaFit is definitely not a place for sterile training that only aims for the obvious muscle training. Here your body is listened to, taken care of to develop its potential, with attention to every detail, outside the narrow framework of a gym mentality. The relationships built here are above all human and lasting and this is reflected even in the very affordable subscription packages. Give your body the opportunity to exercise in the right way and with a beautiful approach, indoors and outdoors.
