“As an avid runner/marathoner I have physically benefited greatly from Becky and her wonderful, knowledgeable Pilates instruction. Pilates has increased the flexibility and range of motion in my tight muscles, as well as brought an awareness to breathing that I am able to apply to my running. The low impact of the exercises has been a perfect balance to my high impact running.”
“Becky has really opened my eyes to the benefits of Pilates. She has been a patient and caring instructor and has helped a very non-athletic person like me discover the benefits of core training. My golf game has really improved and I’m getting much more distance from my drives.”
“I have been doing Pilates for over 10 years now and love it! Becky is awesome! She really knows how to make the work out fun and something to look forward to. She encourages and motivates me to perform to my fullest potential and achieve maximum results. My core is so much stronger since I’ve started pilates and the results were much quicker than any other form of exercise I’ve done. ”
“I have been taking private lessons from Becky and have found pilates to be a wonderful work out along with a great means of stress relief for me, She is amazing and so patient with me. Can’t wait for the studio to open! Congratulations what a wonderful addition to the community!”
