Testimonials from Clients"Pat is very knowledgeable about body mechanics and effective in her approach to exercise. She is welcoming, friendly, easy to work with and supportive during each session. I was tentative to try Pilates, and she made it enjoyable to learn a new way to exercise. She is willing to offer modifications and personalized adjustments to ensure I am challenged as well as safe. She has helped me work thru various injuries along the way to strengthen and maintain a healthy body balance. Years later I am still attending her duo sessions and look forward to it each week."
Eve "Today I realized that I have been practicing Pilates with Pat for 5 years! First, only in the summer, and now weekly. We work on the reformer, the mat tower, the chair, the barrel, and most recently, the spine corrector. Pat creates an environment where I feel comfortable to push myself to grow stronger and to try new things. Pilates with her is both a workout and fun." Lynn “Pat is one of the best Pilates teachers I have ever trained with. Her effortless command of the Method both in her own body and how she can teach others is inspirational. Blending her warmth and an intelligent approach to her classes makes a very positive and effective experience.” Joakim Valsinger, Australian Army Green Beret, Owner Bälans Pilates Studio & Treatment Rooms, Perthshire United Kingdom "I cannot tell you how good today's class felt on this recovering body. We were so active in the past 3 weeks. I was actually sore from all of the walking and hiking we did in the states of the former Republic of Yugoslavia." Joyce "The physical changes are insidious; you don’t realize they’re happening. Although I’m older, my balance is better than it has been in years, and I’ve gotten measurably stronger and more flexible. I believe!" T. Meyerson "10 years ago on October 23, I took my first Pilates class with Pat. It’s been an incredible journey that I truly am grateful for each and everyday. Thank you Pat, for continuing to challenge and inspire me - both as a student, and now, as an instructor. " K. Huxford "Just wanted to share with you that I shot the best 9 holes of golf in my life today, a 40 which is 7 strokes lower than my handicap. I crushed everyone in my foursome and I won the "Beat the Pro" competition. I should write down the Pilates routine we did this morning and do it before every match!" J. Metz "As terrible as I felt yesterday, the Pilates was great. Just what I needed. Today when I woke up, the pain I had yesterday had SIGNIFICANTLY decreased. Thanks for being such a great teacher." J. Ely "I have found that my posture has improved more than I could have imagined. Belly dancing encourages a straight form to support the core muscles but I have never felt taller from the Pilates classes. Pilates has made me feel 5 feet 7 even though I am all of 5 feet 2 in. What a way to improve an appearance!" D. Engdahl "Thanks Pat – I love when I feel strong! You are a wonderful teacher, and we always find ways to continue to grow…." P. Reynolds "As for blessings, it's been one for me that you got interested in Pilates and encouraged your fellow tennis players to give it a try. I'm pretty sure I would never have gone this route without your doing that. Your enthusiasm for Pilates is infectious." V. Beyers |
