Request priority for The FoundationThe precision of the method. The calm of the ritual. The permanence of the result.
THE FOUNDATION
The Foundation is the entry point into Maccio Atelier. An in-person home session of 3 to 3.5 hours to understand your body history, assess your functional capacity and define what continuity makes sense.
It includes anamnesis, functional assessment, gap analysis and a first synthesis of priorities.
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.
METHOD
Functional Target Method
FTM is Maccio Atelier's proprietary method: a precise way to read, organise and train the body's functional capacity in each decade of life.
Everything begins with a detailed anamnesis. Before measuring, there is listening: body history, previous injuries, current discomfort, habits, professional context, family demands, objectives and personal relationship with movement. This information makes it possible to understand the body within a specific life, not as an isolated sum of tests.
From the anamnesis emerges the North Star, the instrument that turns the client's voice into operational objectives. That direction is then crossed with the integral functional assessment. From that crossing comes the gap analysis: the distance between where your capacities are today and where they need to be to meet the demands of your life.
From there, a direction of work is defined: priority patterns, capacities to recover or protect, relevant asymmetries and temporal progression. FTM does not deliver a routine. It builds a criterion.
FTM does not seek to make the body look better. It seeks to make the body able to do what life requires.
FOUNDER
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 adults in mobility, motor control, postural re-education and functional capacity. His work is built on a precise reading of movement: observing how the body organises itself, identifying relevant asymmetries and building progressions that respect each person's real stage.
In 2011 he co-founded a studio in Madrid dedicated to Pilates, movement and postural re-education, where he helped establish the service, worked directly with clients and built quality standards. That stage consolidated a way of working based on continuity, technical criteria and responsibility for the whole process.
Between 2023 and 2026 he worked in an international reference centre in Alicante, maintaining a high volume of private sessions with guests of different nationalities and profiles from thirty to eighty years old. That experience refined a standard of service, presence, discretion and precision that now defines the character of Maccio Atelier.
His training combines Polestar Pilates certification as a Pilates Studio and Mat Practitioner, physical training, myofascial chains, hypopressive abdominal work and applied work with adult and senior populations. He adds specific training in hospitality, communication and intercultural excellence, so that each session carries the same rigour in both the criteria and the way it is delivered.
Marcos Maccio is not a medical doctor and does not practise a regulated healthcare profession. Maccio Atelier does not issue medical diagnoses and does not replace follow-up with a healthcare professional.
CONTINUITY
Inaugural session
320 €
In-person inaugural session of three to three and a half hours, at the client's home. It is the mandatory entry point into the FTM method and the base from which any continuity recommendation is defined.
After The Foundation, if it makes sense, a monthly continuity is recommended according to the starting point, the agenda and the functional objective.
You do not choose a discipline before understanding the method. 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.

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