The Israeli violinist Maya Meron, who has played with the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony and Barenboim\u2019s West-Divan Symphony, is experiencing long-term nerve damage.<\/p>\n
Maya Meron has filed a claim against Heartcore Fitness Limited, a personal training studio in Hampstead, London founded by Jess Schuring. Schuring, also known as Jesse Blum, has trained celebrity clients including Victoria Beckham and Robbie Williams and was reportedly one of Meghan Markle\u2019s favourite teachers.<\/p>\n
Meron visited London\u2019s popular Heartcore pilates studio to regain fitness after giving birth to twins. Schuring instructed Meron into a downward-facing dog position on a pilates Reformer machine before the machine collapsed. Meron fractured her left elbow and experienced abdominal injuries following the collapse.<\/p>\n
Rob Aylott, a personal injury lawyer in London who is representing Ms. Meron, described the ill-maintained nature of the Reformer machines at Heartcore. The studio has denied responsibility for the accident.<\/p>\n
Meron has turned down considerable work while undergoing elbow surgery, abdominal reconstructive procedures to her abdomen, and still experiences wrist pain and a loss in finger strength. Aylott described the catastrophic nature of the injury, stating, \u201cMy client was enjoying a glittering career which was unceremoniously halted by a trip to Heartcore.\u201d Meron is no longer able to play complete orchestra programs, although she has expressed that some of the orchestras she works with have offered to have her play partial programmes with them.<\/p>\n
