Paola Franchi | Owner EQ
Paola moved to Georgia from Chile in 2014, by then she was already working for years as a Physical Educator in schools & colleges, as a Pilates instructor and recognized gymnastic coach in her country.
​
After years of experience, as well as being part of the Chilean National gymnastics team since she was 16, she realized it was extremely important for her to find an effective way to help her gymnasts gain strength to avoid injuries. It was when one of her friends in college ( Master trainer of Stott Pilates) introduced Paola to the Pilates program, and Paola asked to get certified through her and work in her studio.
After years of teaching, and going through a second comprehensive Pilates certification, Paola decided to open her own Pilates Studio in Santiago, Chile (2010). As part of this journey, she traveled to California to gain Probridge certification in BASI Pilates. Later, she pursued the Mentor Program and Master I, specializing in Pathologies and injuries as well.
​
Paola also has a master's degree in Psychology for infants and youth, as well as specializing in the 65 plus population, certified in TRX suspension training Group, TRX personal trainer, TRX camp, TRX sports & medicine, and TRX RIP trainer.
She has worked since 2015 in a physical therapy center helping patients to regain muscular balance and functionality, as well postpartum clients. Paola has also worked in different studios and gyms in Georgia teaching Pilates.
​
In her own words, she says, “Teaching is my passion, hobby, life, and Pilates is for me a nonstop teaching/learning cycle. I love to educate movement, and through the movement empower my students with knowledge.”
