Still not convinced? Here's what people like you are saying about the results they are getting at Body Conscious PilateSpa:
Putting it in Reverse
It was the slippery slope of aging
with a bleak future of
knee replacements
a crippling scoliosis
incontinence
stiffening joints
an out-of-touch body.
Everything was tight except what was supposed to be tight.ENOUGH!!!!!
When I walked into the PilateSpa studio on March 17, 2005, this Irish Lass said:
ENOUGH!!!!!
That day I began
PUTTING IT IN REVERSE.With Kathleen and Bree as my guides, I began and I continue week after week. The infrastructure was and is as instrumental to my progress as the motivation to feel and look different. My budget was reworked so the cost of the sessions was built in for the “long haul”. The sessions became as vital as groceries and trips to the Opera. The drive from the West side to the East of Madison became a part of my routine without grumbling about construction on University Avenue or the football crowds that made me late for Saturday stretch class.
The two beautiful dancers that became my teachers allowed me to fantasize and reminisce about the years of my youth as a dancer. That helped me believe I could Put It In Reverse. My trust in their patience, kind suggestions, demanding perfection, and in-depth understanding of movement and the body, carried me on a wave of belief in myself and propelled me forward each week.
As I write this I am submerged in the fourth year of a Pilates practice that honors my body. The day I tossed the mini-pads away, I giggled. The days I bike and have no knee pain knowing I did it without surgery, I smile. Each day my spine feels straight without the aching fatigue of the past.
I stand straighter and prouder of how I am keeping it in reverse and loving it.
Changed My Outlook on Life
Pilates (and YOU) have totally changed my outlook on life! I used to think I had no control over this aging body and was getting pretty depressed about it. I can't believe the changes.
Now that I see what is possible with Pilates, my motivation to take care of myself has been completely renewed! My boyfriend says "no matter what ... don't ever QUIT Pilates" LOL !!
Pants Aren't Tight Anymore
My clothes fit differently since I've been doing pilates at Pilatespa--all my pants that used to be tight, aren't tight anymore.
It's a very welcoming community of people who come and enjoy the practice and the instructors.
I think the instruction is excellent. In my opinion, this is as good as any class in the country. I really think so.
I'm definitely living life more gracefully, thanks to Body Conscious PilateSpa.
Total Relief of Pain
In just six weeks of classes at PilateSpa, I had a total relief of the arthritis pain in my hip. It amazes me that could happen.
Every time I come to Pilatespa I feel like I get more strength and balance in my body.
I love the instructors. I like that I don't feel forced to compete with other people -- I can go at my own pace. It's a very welcoming environment.
Lost 26 Pounds
Coming to Body Conscious PilateSpa has been an important part of my losing 26 pounds.
Plus, it's been a really wonderful experience for me. It's helped me be a lot more in touch with my body, and really helped me stay motivated to lose weight.
If you are afraid of trying pilates, or that you won't be able to keep up, don't worry -- The teacher, Kathleen, is really great because she lets us trust our bodies and move at our own pace. It's a friendly and accepting environment.

My seven recent private lessons with Kathleen took an inch off my waist.

Felt At Ease Right Away
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to cut it in here, but I felt at ease and at home as soon as I started the first class.

The classes are really fun. I really like Kathleen, she makes it fun. After every mat class I remember that it's always great to go to mat class.
