The precision of the method. The calm of the ritual. The permanence of the result.

WHAT IT IS

Maccio Atelier is a private movement studio for adults who have decided to age with criterion.

It integrates functional training, Pilates Studio and Mat, and postural re-education within the proprietary FTM method (Functional Target Method). It is designed for adults between forty and ninety who understand movement as a long-term investment, not as an aesthetic routine. Each client receives a programme designed from a complete initial assessment and works one to one with a professional trained in the method, with no shared facilities and no group classes.

ABOUT

Marcos Maccio is the founder of Maccio Atelier. Originally from Argentina and based in Alicante, he has spent more than twenty years working one to one with demanding adults in postural re-education, motor control and mobility. His training, begun in Argentina and completed in Spain, includes Polestar Pilates certification as a Pilates Studio and Mat Practitioner, as well as specialisation in myofascial chains, hypopressive abdominal work and physical training applied to adult and senior populations.

In recent years he has worked one to one in an international reference centre in Alicante, serving guests of different nationalities with a standard of service, presence and discretion that now defines the character of Maccio Atelier. His work has been featured in an internal publication of the centre, where he designed ten mobility exercises for people with limited time and no equipment.

METHOD

The FTM method

Functional Target Method

FTM is a proprietary functional system designed for adults between forty and ninety. It articulates three sequential operations: an integral initial assessment that measures the body's real capacity in each decade of life, a self-definition instrument called North Star that translates the client's voice into operational objectives, and a gap analysis that determines precisely which movement patterns to prioritise and within what timeframe.

FTM does not seek to make the body look better. It seeks to make the body able to do what life requires.

PLANS

Inaugural session

The Foundation · La Base

390 €

In-person session of three to three and a half hours, at the client's home. It combines the Anamnesis — a structured functional interview by blocks — and the Integral Functional Assessment by Decades, a complete evaluation of movement, strength and balance calibrated by age. From this session emerge the client's North Star, gap reading and continuity recommendation.

If after La Base the client begins a recommended continuity plan, 50% of its amount is integrated as a credit in the first month of work.

Individual · required before any continuity · calendar opens on 1 September 2026.

Continuity plans

You do not choose a discipline. Pilates Reformer, functional training and postural re-education are used as tools within FTM, according to the assessment, the client's phase and their functional objective.

Continuity For sustaining a precise, stable and technically careful practice.
Capacity For building a more consistent functional reserve through greater weekly exposure to the method.
Anti-fragility For stages that require closer guidance, more evolution reading and more adjustment between sessions.

The frequency, format and monthly amount are defined after La Base, according to the professional recommendation.

Golden Maintenance

A later phase for clients who have already built a sufficient functional base and need to preserve criterion, capacity and long-term continuity.

Available by recommendation after a continuity cycle.
