Testimonials

Cristal Salinas

“ Five months ago I decided to take a Pilates class, with major hesitation. I am not a big fan of yoga and was not sure that Pilates would be beneficial, challenging, or fun. To my surprise, I absolutely loved the class and that was due to Fiona. Fiona is amazing! Under her watchful eye, clear instructions using relatable analogies, visualization techniques, and hands on guidance, I am much more mindful of how I move my body. I find that I have more energy, less pain in my shoulders from swimming, and it is giving me long lean muscles. Fiona’s classes are challenging and fun!”

If you’re looking for a life-changing, quintessential Pilates encounter, definitely hit up one of Fiona’s classes. Fiona is profoundly knowledgeable and her focused regimens train students to understand the inner and outer workings of their body, improving alignment, tone, and posture! She challenges you to make a mindful connection to go deep into the core, developing total body awareness that improves your overall strength. It was under Fiona’s tutelage that I had my “aha!” moment when I truly connected to my core foundation, specifically my lower abdominals! Fiona’s classes are so unique that one must experience them to fully understand. If you haven’t experienced the magic of Fiona, now is the time!! If you already have, then you already know!! #IYKYK   ~ Frannie

Fiona has changed the way I look at every single workout, whether I am in her class or someone else’s. She has an amazing way of causing you to not just go through the motions of the workout, but rather to focus on every muscle in every movement you are making. My core is so much stronger because of this. I would recommend Fiona to anyone who wants to improve their sense of strength both mentally and physically

Pilates with Leah will work your entire body; improving your balance and posture, additionally; your overall mood changes after your workout, and your flexibility improves making you feel relaxed and less stressed. Her classes fill up fast so be sure to book ahead. Leah, you are a true gem!

Margaret Taylor

I was extremely nervous when I first started taking Pilates. Everything about the reformer intimidated me, and I didn't trust my body or my balance. Alison made me feel safe, confident, and comfortable on the reformer. She is patient, funny, full of energy, and strikes the perfect balance between rigorous and restorative. I love Alison's classes, but I also love that she pushes me out of my comfort zone and has taught me to trust myself to try new things. Her classes combine deep stretching with high intensity sets, and if you take barre, there's a good amount of shaking too. She is always willing to help you modify to make it more challenging, or there to adjust your reformer when you need a hand. I highly recommend taking classes with this amazing lady-- she'll bust your buns and also deeply restore your muscles.

When I schedule a class with Amy I know it will be stimulating not only for my  body, but also my mind and spirit. I feel welcomed, always, and held within a  sense of community because the balanced atmosphere in her studio nurtures me from the time I walk through the door, throughout my class, and out into my  day, from abs to absolutely!    My practice is anchored with a regular reform class. Amy has a talent for  creating a blend of traditional and progressive exercises/moves that keep my  mind focused (no small feat) and my body alert while we work through the layers  of the class. She has an amazing ability to monitor everyone, provide individual  attention as needed and move the group forward while offering levels of the  basic exercise that we can each adapt. Her depth of knowledge is impressive  within the Pilates trainings, and also physiology.   Some days I have an abundance of strength, other days I need to cut back. I have learned this life lesson of physical and mental flexibility on the way to a strong body while appropriately challenging myself. Thanks to Amy.  Amy also has a talent for including excellent teachers who conduct in-depth  classes. I trust and recommend Amy and her instructors.
