Annie Blanco Zakka

Annie Blanco Zakka is one of Lebanon's well-known Pilates instructors. She teaches the one-on-one Reformer Pilates sessions at Active Health Clinic in Achrafieh, Beirut, with a focus on back pain, posture, and core stability, and also gives Pilates classes at the Deir el Kalaa Club in Beit Mery.

Her long teaching experience across Lebanon covers a wide range of students, from beginners discovering the method to long-time practitioners who make Pilates part of their wellness routine.

Her approach

The studio is equipped with two Reformers, so sessions can be held one-on-one or in duo with a partner or friend. Either way, the group never grows beyond two: every exercise stays adjusted to your condition, level, and goals. Annie works with close supervision and safe, gradual progression, whether you are building core strength, improving your posture, or returning to movement after a long break.

At Active Health Clinic, Pilates is offered as a complementary wellness method: a way to maintain posture, mobility, core strength, and overall well-being, alongside the care provided by the rest of the team.
