FERAL PILATES & PHYSICAL THERAPY SIARGAO
There Is A Wilderness Within You
Location: SOS Gym in Malinao
SIARGAO'S FIRST & ONLY REFORMER PILATES STUDIO
Intelligent movement. Clinical precision. An untamed spark.
Feral is where Pilates meets physical therapy. A studio built for people who want more than exercise. Whether you're a surfer chasing power, a traveler seeking recovery, or someone ready to rebuild from the ground up, this is movement with intention. Small classes. Expert guidance. Results you can feel.
A systematic review of 14 clinical trials found Pilates is one of the most effective interventions for chronic low back pain, outperforming aerobic exercise. When a licensed PT is guiding your session, that's not a workout. That's targeted rehabilitation. (Source)

GROUP CLASSES & SCHEDULE
The Reformer is where transformation becomes tangible. Springs create resistance. Resistance creates strength. And strength, built slowly with intention, becomes the foundation for everything else you do in life.
Unlike gym machines that isolate muscles, the Reformer trains your body as a unified system. Every exercise demands core engagement, breath control, and precise alignment. Four students maximum per class. Four reformers. One hour of focused, intelligent movement that you'll feel for days.
Why train at Feral?
Clinical Expertise
Led by a Philippine Board Certified Physical Therapist. Your form isn't just corrected. It's understood.
Small by Design
Four reformers. Four students. The attention you'd expect from a private session, at group class pricing.
Themed for Purpose
Every class has intention. Choose based on what your body needs today: power, flexibility, recovery, or play.
CHOOSE YOUR CLASS
LONGEVITY
Move well for the long game.
Longevity classes focus on joint health, mobility, and the movement patterns that keep you active for decades, not just seasons. Less intensity, more intention. This is Pilates as preventive medicine.
BEST FOR: Anyone prioritizing sustainable fitness, injury prevention, or aging with strength.
SURF
Built for the water.
Surf classes develop rotational power, shoulder stability, and the hip mobility that translates directly to performance on the wave. Train the patterns your body actually uses: paddle strength, pop-up power, and the core control that keeps you balanced when the ocean won't.
BEST FOR: Surfers of all levels, SUP paddlers, ocean athletes.
FLEXIBILITY
Strength through length.
Flexibility classes use the Reformer's spring resistance to safely deepen your range of motion while building control at end ranges. This isn't passive stretching. It's active mobility work that your body will actually retain.
BEST FOR: Anyone feeling tight, restricted, or wanting to complement strength training.
FIGHT
Controlled aggression.
Fight classes build the rotational power, core stability, and hip drive that combat sports demand. Quick transitions, explosive movements, and the kind of conditioning that doesn't quit when you're tired.
BEST FOR: Martial artists, boxers, CrossFitters, anyone wanting athletic power.
GROUNDWORK
Where it all begins.
Groundwork covers the fundamental Pilates principles: breath, alignment, core activation, and precision. Whether you're new to Pilates or returning after time away, these classes rebuild your foundation so everything else works better.
BEST FOR: Beginners, anyone returning to movement, those wanting to refine technique.

“Allegra, with her expertise and genuine dedication, not only diagnosed my levoscoliosis but also provided me with a profound understanding of the importance of awareness, intent, and discipline in achieving overall wellness. It wasn't just about exercises; it was about fostering a deeper connection with my body and cultivating habits that contribute to long-term well-being. What sets The Feral Physio apart is Allegra's personalized approach. She took the time to understand my unique needs, tailoring the sessions to address not only my physical concerns but also my overall lifestyle. Her guidance has not only alleviated my physical discomfort but has instilled a renewed sense of vitality.”
PRIVATE SESSIONS
One hour. One instructor. Complete attention on you.
Private sessions aren't just smaller classes. They're a different experience entirely. Your instructor watches every movement, adjusts every angle, and builds a session around your body's specific needs. No waiting for others. No modifications shouted across the room. Just focused, intelligent work that meets you exactly where you are.
CHOOSE YOUR SESSION
PRIVATE SOLO
The ultimate in personalized attention. Your instructor designs the entire session around your goals, limitations, and progress. Every cue is for you. Every adjustment is immediate. This is where transformation accelerates.
We begin with a brief assessment: posture, movement patterns, areas of concern. Then we work. Expect to be challenged in ways that group classes can't offer, and supported in ways that make hard things possible.
BEST FOR: Anyone wanting faster progress, working around injuries, or preparing for a specific goal (event, trip, competition).
PRIVATE DUET
Bring a partner, friend, or travel companion. Duets offer the personalization of private sessions with the energy of shared experience. Your instructor manages both of you, adjusting exercises to different levels while keeping the session cohesive.
There's something powerful about transforming alongside someone you know. You push each other. You witness each other's progress. And the cost per person drops significantly.
BEST FOR: Couples, friends traveling together, or anyone who thrives with a training partner.
CLINICAL PILATES
Where rehabilitation meets strength. Clinical Pilates is private instruction with a physical therapy lens, designed for people managing injuries, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or conditions that require extra care.
Allegra's background as a Philippine Board Certified Physical Therapist makes this possible. She reads your movement differently. She understands what's compensation and what's dysfunction. She knows when to push and when to protect.
This isn't gentle stretching disguised as therapy. It's rigorous, progressive work within safe boundaries.
BEST FOR: Post-injury rehabilitation, chronic pain management, pre/post-surgical conditioning, hypermobility, scoliosis, or any condition requiring clinical oversight.
PRIVATE SESSION PRICING
Private Solo: P2,300 (60 min)
Private Duet: P3,800 total / P1,900 per person (60 min)
Clinical Pilates: P2,500 (60 min)

ALLEGRA DE BORJA, PTRP
Co-Founder, Head of Pilates · Philippine Board Certified Physical Therapist · Merrithew-Trained Stott Pilates Instructor
At 18, Allegra was hospitalized with vasculitis, an autoimmune condition that nearly destroyed her kidneys and heart. Lying in that cold hospital bed in British Columbia, she heard a whisper: "Your body is all you truly have." She left her physics degree and returned to the Philippines to study Physical Therapy, eventually passing the national board exam and training in Stott Pilates under Merrithew. She's practiced in hospitals across three Philippine islands.
Her own scoliosis led her to Pilates. Her unmedicated childbirth proved its power. Now she brings both clinical precision and lived experience to every session, whether you're rehabbing an injury, preparing your body for surf, or simply learning to trust what it already knows.
“Through pain, I found purpose. From the wound, I found the medicine. Through love, I found home.”BOOK A SESSION WITH ALLEGRA

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need Pilates experience to attend a group class?
No experience needed. Our group classes welcome all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Instructors provide modifications so everyone works at their appropriate level. If you're brand new, start with a Groundwork class to learn the fundamentals.
What's the difference between Reformer and Mat Pilates?
Reformer uses a specialized machine with springs that provide variable resistance, allowing for more precise muscle targeting. Mat Pilates uses your body weight. A network meta-analysis in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found Pilates among the most effective interventions for chronic pain, outperforming aerobic exercise (Source). Most people find the Reformer more engaging for strength. Mat builds core stability you can practice anywhere. Try both via our class schedule.
How many people are in a Reformer class?
Group Reformer classes are limited to 4 participants. We have 4 reformers. This small size ensures you get personalized attention and form corrections in every session.
What should I wear / bring?
Wear comfortable, form-fitting workout clothes. Avoid loose or baggy clothing that can catch in the equipment. Grip or regular socks are required for Reformer classes (available for purchase at the studio). Bring water and arrive 10 minutes early for your first class.
What are the class themes?
Each theme targets specific movement patterns: Surf builds rotational power and balance. Fight develops core strength and explosive power. Longevity focuses on mobility and joint health. Flexibility improves range of motion. Groundwork covers fundamental Pilates principles, perfect for beginners.
What's the difference between Solo, Duet, and Clinical sessions?
Solo sessions are private one-on-one instruction tailored to your goals. Duets let you share a session with a partner or friend. Clinical Pilates is specifically for injury rehabilitation or chronic conditions, led by our licensed Physical Therapist. View private session options and pricing.
Can I attend if I have an injury?
Yes, book a Clinical Pilates session instead of a group class. Allegra is a Philippine Board Certified Physical Therapist who specializes in rehabilitation. She'll assess your injury and build a safe program around it. A systematic review of 14 clinical trials found PT-supervised Pilates is one of the most effective interventions for chronic pain (Source). For lighter recovery options, explore massage, yoga, or sound healing across our other studios.
Where is Feral Pilates located?
We're inside SOS Gym in Malinao, Siargao. 1st Floor, Unit 3. About a 10-minute drive from General Luna/Cloud 9.
