Two years ago my 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis and kyphosis (rounded upper back). After she started seeing an orthopedic doctor, she was sent to physical therapy where she was given a set of exercises that she did with little enthusiasm. I checked into pilates and yoga as a way to help improve her posture and decided to put her into pilates because of its emphasis on core strengthening. I also decided to participate as I had to drive her here anyway. From the beginning of our sessions, all the instructors at The Pilates Connexion have been very attentive to Teresa's needs and very enthusiastic and encouraging. After about 9 months of fairly regular attendance, my daughter's posture was noticeably improved. After a year and a half, her doctor was thrilled with her improvement and I attributed it to the pilates program. He agreed. She walks taller, straighter, and has more confidence in her appearance than ever before. What a gift for a teenage girl! I, too, have had my own share of benefits for my middle aged body. The muscles in my pelvic floor, upper back, across my shoulders, and my legs are significantly toned up.I also stand taller and the stretched out abs from childbirth are being reigned in. And the flexibility in my frequently stiff neck has increased. Mostly though, I am enjoying a shared experience with my teenage daughter and now my husband has joined in on the fun. Thank you for running an excellent program where we see numerous benefits and feel welcomed. Mary L.

Since September, 2007 I have been a client of the Pilates Connexion and have truly enjoyed the workouts. I joined with the idea of improving my flexibility, as I had only been walking for exercise. I love to walk, but my range of motion was growing smaller.I definitely have seen a vast improvement, but have also seen muscles strengthened that I was not even aware of having! Core work finally means something to me, and it is something I think of throughout the day. My posture has improved, and I try to tighten muscles in my abs that have not been worked since pre-pregnancies. I am a grandmother now, so it has been a while. Gayle and Angie are two of the nicest people you could meet. They are genuine and it makes the classes relaxed, interesting, and challenging. They always have a smile on their face, and enjoy what they do!! The class size is wonderful, the attention offered each person is great, and the workouts work, without a lot of sweat!!! I truly appreciate the “connexion” I have with these women, and Pilates. Sincerely, Myra ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Angie and Gayle THANK YOU BUNCHES for the changes you have made in not only with my body, but in my life as well. You and your staff do an awesome job of teaching and instructing the pilates reformer (the only class I have taken in your studio). I first discovered The Pilates Connexion studio in Feb. 2008 and fell immediately in love with the reformer classes. I have been looking for reformer classes for years and was beyond delighted to finally find your studio. In just 4 short weeks of working on the pilates reformer under your wonderful tutaledge, my body went from tone to AMAZING!!!! I have sculpted calfs which I have never had before. I had not played golf in two years due to chronic back problems, and not only did my back problems cease, but I am now back to playing golf better than I have ever played before with my new core strength I developed with the reformer classes. And last but not least, I wore a shoulder and back revealing dress for my daughters wedding last week and my shoulders and back looked amazing in my dress. I was totally confident wearing my Mother of the Bride dress because my body has changed so much with the pilates. Another bonus I didn't expect when I started these classes, is the amount of new friends I have made in these classes. The Pilates Connexion studio has become my new social outlet. I look forward to the days I have classes, I go expecting to see my workout buddies, our instructors work us out hard, but also in a positive attitude that makes it just so much fun and I leave class every single time smiling from ear to ear all day long. My body feels good all day long and my body actually misses the days I don't get to go more than my mind does. You have AWESOME instructors, a very clean and well run studio and I hope anyone who has the slightest bit interest in pilates, especially reformer pilates comes and just give it a try once. It is an instant addiction, you will be so glad you came and will look forward to the next time you can come again. The owners and instructors stay up to the date informed with new exercises and ways to use the reformer by constantly reading new information, watching new DVD's and attending pilates workshops. I haven't been to class once in these past 8 months that there wasn't a new move involved in the class session. THANK YOU ladies BUNCHES and BUNCHES for providing such a wonderful place to come workout and feel good about myself. You ladies are THE BEST!!!!!!! Vickie G. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Angie and Gayle, As someone like you who is in the service business, the best compliments you can receive are comments from a satisfied customer and their referrals. I would like to give you both. My original exercise regimen consisted of cardio, moderate weight training and lifting and walking three to four times a week in hopes of body toning and weight loss. After two hard months my results were minor at best. After investigating the philosophy and advantages of Pilates and taking your four session beginner course, I decided to incorporate it twice weekly into my existing workout plan. It didn’t take long to see the results. Within a five week span I lost 15 pounds and two inches off my waist. I find Pilates to be an enjoyable, challenging, fast paced and mentally relaxing total body exercise program. I always look forward to my next session. Again, I wish to extend my compliments to the both of you. Best Wishes, Rick W. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! I knew I needed to do something drastic to get back on track after losing mobility for over a year. I was unbelievably weak. One day I saw the Pilates ConneXion sign. I knew a little about Pilates, had done some reading about it. Then, passing through the building one day, I picked up The Pilates ConneXion brochure and gave them a call. Angela and Gayle encouraged me to come in and give it a try. We talked about my goals and history. I took the intro session(s) and was hooked! In just a few weeks, my strength was dramatically improved, I was standing straighter, and my clothes were fitting differently. These wonderful ladies have gone out of the way to accommodate my limitations while making the workouts fun AND effective! Angela and Gayle are really invested in their clients. I feel it and I believe others do as well. To me, that spells s-u-c-c-e-s-s. Pilates is something I feel I can do for the long haul. Anyone can do it and this is the greatest atmosphere imaginable to try! Lynne
