About the Trainer - Jerry Teo

Jerry is an energetic and dedicated teacher. His mission in life is ‘To teach and inspire people to take changes that would improve their quality of life.’ Jerry’s greatest fulfilment in teaching came from experiencing how physical changes in his students’ bodies transformed other aspects of their lives.

Jerry studied with many world-renowned teachers. Pilates Master Teacher and Elder, Ron Fletcher’s (1921-2011) emphasis on excellence influenced him to constantly explore ways to develop his teaching skills. Jerry’s greatest strength is his ability to adapt and adjust teaching methods to different learning personalities or complex physical issues, to make learning simple yet effective. Jerry is actively involved in mentoring Pilates Teachers so that they can in turn bring more impactful change to more people.

In his last 19 years of teaching in the fitness industry, Jerry has frequently helped people with knee, back, shoulder and neck problems. He especially loved and taught many runners, golfers, tennis players, skiers, yogis and dancers to improve their sports performance using Pilates. Jerry’s most recent stint is teaching Pilates to the elite Cirque Du Soleil’s Kooza to prepare them for their high level performance. Coupled with his experience in teaching people with serious lower back pain in his ‘Get Back On Track’ program, Jerry strongly believes that Pilates is a critical foundation to any movement program.

  • Dr Emily Splichal

    Podiatrist and Founder of Naboso Technology and Evidence Based Fitness Academy Global.

    Dr. Emily Splichal, functional podiatrist and human movement specialist, is the mind behind Naboso. With a spirit to challenge conformity, Dr. Splichal has taken her conventional Podiatric Medical degree and combined it with years of experience and expertise in human movement and sensory science to found Naboso.

    Dr. Splichal believes that our experience in this world is built around sensory stimulation and our ability to process, perceive, and integrate this information effectively. Since 2012, Dr. Splichal has been traveling the world to share her unique approach to human movement, foot function, and barefoot science. Having taught in 35 countries and to over 25,000 professionals, Dr. Splichal has quickly become a sought out leader in barefoot training and rehabilitation.

    "Life is sensory. This means that all our movement patterns are fed by and led by sensory stimulation. Sufficient sensory stimulation must enter the body to create proper motor patterns"

    – Dr. Emily Splichal

    The concept behind Naboso and its proprioceptive products came from Dr. Splichal's global travels and the realization that little has changed as far as surface science and insole design. To date, most of the focus has been on minimal footwear and barefoot training. However, what our feet are touching is just as important as switching our shoes or going minimal.

    This led to the evolution of a textural pattern that could stimulate the nerves in our feet, allowing us to get even more out of human function and performance. The potential applications of enhanced foot sensory stimulation are limitless.

    From optimizing a child's sensory stimulation during their peak window of neuroplasticity to rehabbing an athlete who just suffered a concussion, Dr. Splichal is ready to impact the world and share her passion for the belief that #LifeIsSensory.

    Dr Splichal's work has been featured in various outlets including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Rachael Ray Show and Meredith Viera Show, as well as on top podcasts including Ben Greenfield, DocJenFit and Exercising Health. Click here to view her full media kit.
