Katelyn is normally the instructor I go to and she does an excellent job of understanding my body's previous injuries and adjusting the exercises accordingly.

I spent the better part of 9 months with Cindy and only ended things because I moved and I couldn't…read moretake her with me! The hour with Cindy was always more than I expected. She pushed me beyond my perceived limits, gave tough love in the way I needed, made small adjustments that made significant changes to my form, and educated me on the fundamentals of strength training (I've met trainers that could not do this!). As someone who works in healthcare/medicine and has scientific understanding of the human body, this was extremely huge to me as I don't believe in doing things for the sake of doing them. I appreciated that the trainer-trainee relationship we have had also evolved into a friendship as it is rare to have that. The only regret I have is not starting training with her sooner than when I did :)

I have worked with Cindy over the past two years and can't say enough about how great she's been…read more When I first saw her, I was dealing with sciatic pain and looking to return to strength training after being away from it for a few years. I am now pain free and stronger than I've ever been. She is great at identifying and addressing your specific needs, teaching you how to lift safely, and helping you get the most out of every workout. If you want to see results, she'll deliver.

As a health practitioner and an athlete, its always challenging to create a trusted network of…read morelike-minded professionals. Luckily I got it right with Alissa. She has been seeing my patients for as long as I have known her (almost 3 years) and I have heard nothing but praises. I tell my patients its not JUST pilates you need, its guidance, and that is what Alissa is great at, guiding your body in the right direction to reach optimum balance and sustained overall health. Pilates is the preferred method of rehab and core strengthening, and Alissa is the right person to get that job done. I have had the pleasure of experiencing her work first hand, and seeing amazing results with my patients, which gives me great confidence knowing she is capable and knowledgeable to handle the most delicate cases. These are unique characteristics not found in my instructors. I highly recommend this dedicated professional not only because she is good at what she does, but also because she has a wide knowledge base and most importantly... a caring heart.

Well, 2 years since my first review and I can't sing Alissa praises enough! Unfortunately I have…read morerecently moved and I miss Alissa's workouts SO MUCH! I went to her weekly before I was pregnant, throughout pregnancy and also postpartum. She is very knowledgable about the postpartum body. I have had some problems since delivery (ab separation and some minor low back pain and uneven gait) and Alissa was helping these problems. Since I moved I tried a new instructor and it made everything worse!! So now I'm in physical therapy, doing really well, and guess what exercises I'm doing with my PT? The same ones that Alissa would run me through! I so wish I could continue to see Alissa for the amazing whole body workout and seriously, the stress would just melt away! I miss you Alissa xoxoxo!

Ashley is truly the best trainer I've ever worked with. I've been working with her for almost a…read moreyear, and I'm now the strongest -- and most pain-free -- I've ever been. When I first started, I was dealing with a lot of pain, partly because I wasn't properly engaging some of my major muscle groups. She was incredibly patient and intentional, guiding me step by step to activate those muscles in the right order. That foundation has made a huge difference in how my body feels and performs. What really sets her apart is how personalized everything is. She consistently tailors my workouts based on what my body needs-- whether I'm recovering from an injury or preparing for something specific like a surf trip. In buddy or trio sessions, she shows up fully prepared with customized programming for each person. It's clear she puts a lot of thought and care into every session. She's knowledgeable, attentive, and unbelievably prepared. She truly doesn't miss. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Every session is unique and personalized; I'm always amazed that Ashely shows up every time with a completely new program, tailored to each of us and built on top of the work that we've been doing together. She is warm, thoughtful, and motivating. My husband and I both feel stronger and more energized. I can't recommend Ashely enough!!

Birgitte is the bomb! N No matter how I feel when I arrive,…read moreI feel amazing after a good training session with Birgitte. She knows just how much to push her client (me) and she is incredibly compassionate. And recovering from an extended period of illness, Birgitte has helped me regain fitness. Also, last, though absolutely not least, Birgitte pays attention and she is incredibly knowledgeable. I can't recommend Birgitte highly enough for both the beginner and the advanced pilates student, she will meet you where you are and take you and your practice much further!

Most importantly, Birgitte has an impeccable eye for proper form, which really makes all the difference. That's why I'm sore. But a good sore. Thanks B!!

Keely is the best. I've been working with her once a week for about a year, and I can't recommend…read moreher enough. She's extremely knowledgeable and skilled at adapting workouts on the spot to meet my needs while still challenging me to improve. I've noticed consistent progress in my strength, body awareness, and overall fitness. I have a history of ankle sprains which used to make me nervous about working out, but Keely completely takes that anxiety away. She creates a safe, supportive environment where I can focus on getting stronger without worrying about re-injury. She also has an incredible ability to identify the root of any soreness or discomfort I might be feeling and recommend targeted exercises or stretches that actually make a difference. It's like magic. Except it's not. It's Keely's skills, expertise, and depth of knowledge. Relatedly, Keely is passionate about educating her clients on how their bodies work. I've learned so much about different exercises and muscle groups from her. Beyond her technical expertise, Keely has a bubbly and compassionate personality. I genuinely have fun talking to her during our sessions. She's attentive and truly cares about her clients' progress and well-being. Working with her has been one of the best investments I've made for my health, and I look forward to our sessions each week.

I'm not the type of person that naturally loves working out but Keely makes me look forward to it…read more She's discerning, inquisitive, kind and funny and knows everything there is to know about the human form. Like I said, my natural opposition to all things physical has sadly prevented my brain from absorbing much of this knowledge permanently but she is undeniably patient with me as she has to repeat what a Bulgarian split squat is for the hundredth time. Thank you for never giving up on me! I started working out with Keely before my wedding in 2021, when my biggest concern was feeling confident in a midriff-exposing dress. Looking back on that time, Keely was truly comforting and helped me recognize and celebrate my strength. I kept going back to work out with her because she helped me understand that working out can be...dare I say it...fun. In addition to the fun, i wanted to maintain healthy ways of managing pain. I struggle with neck pain, tension headaches and migraines. Keely has helped me manage the pain by building and maintaining back strength. She's also imparted a wealth of techniques related to breathing and stretching exercises, which have helped me to get out of my neck in my daily routine. Without her I'd most likely be crying in fetal. Recently after a new diagnosis of TOS, Keely did her own research to offer the right exercise plan to not exacerbate any issues. Her dedication and individualized care for her clients is unmatched. Keely has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to every session and feel lucky to work out with her every week. Much love, Keely!

If you have the opportunity to work with Valerie Loo, it will change your life! I came to her…read moreinitially to help with persistent hip pain. Our work together has gone far beyond getting out of pain. Valerie's understanding of the body is unparalleled. She has an incredible gift for recognizing how to improve alignment - identifying patterns that pull us out of alignment and teaching very precise Counter-shapes that help us regain alignment. Not only have I eliminated the hip pain, but I've regained mobility I didn't know I had lost! I haven't felt this good physically in many years, and the journey with Valerie is just beginning. The unexpected, and truly wonderful, aspect of working with Valerie is the strong community of people who work with her in small group settings. I learn from my fellow students in each class. It's a gift that's benefitting my life every day.

Then I found Valerie Loo, and wow--she's incredible! Instead of just treating the pain, she finds what's out of alignment and teaches me how to correct it using Counter-shapes tailored to my body's unique movement patterns (quirks really). I don't think I've ever worked with a PT who truly understands how everything is connected. One time, my shoulder was hurting, and she had me do a foot exercise--not touching my shoulder at all-- the pain went away. So wild! What she teaches is like self-massage that actually gets to the knot--not just by pressing on it, but by using movements to retrain my body. Now, the pain stays away for days! And when it sneaks back in, I know exactly what to do to reset and feel good again! Valerie doesn't just "hand me the fish" so to speak--she teaches me how to fish, so I can take care of my body (at home) instead of relying on constant treatments. So grateful for this woman and her work. If you've noticed limits in your movement or want to move better while improving your posture and alignment, this is for you. She calls her method "prehab" (preventative rehab)-- it's a game-changer!

Not only does Mary focus on the body but she also incorporates mind and balance health. I have a history of back issues, so Mary's expertise and mindfulness of these challenges is so appreciated.

I have worked with her consistently for months and my posture, strength and body feel fantastic. I can't say enough positive things about Pilates Mary!
