Benefits of Pilates

Strength

"I was in two rear-end collisions and had constant neck pain when I started doing Pilates at Reach. I worked slowly at first, gaining strength in my core and in my neck. Within six months, I stopped having pain I was able to pick up my son again. I have been very happy and proud of the strength I have since starting Pilates and know that it is one of the best things I can do for my body. Thank you Michele!"

Flexibility

"Reach Pilates is the best thing I do for myself. I get a great workout and always feel good afterward. After almost two years and I am stronger and more flexible than I have ever been. Michele makes sure that I am working at a level that is appropriate for my body and as a result, I have worked out injury free since I started."

Focus

"Pilates saved me during my pregnancy.  I was not is shape when I got pregnant and then after some complications early in the pregnancy, I had 8 weeks of restricted activity.  Pilates gave me a way to gain strength to carry a good sized baby well and without much back pain.  I do believe it was Pilates that allowed me the increased strength to stay active.  I also very much believe the exercises Michele had me do also helped be during my labor and delivery. "

Balance

"I was searching for an exercise program that would help me both physically and mentally. I found my answer at Reach Pilates with Michele and the results show. Not only do I think more clearly, but physically, I no longer suffer from the backaches I lived with for years. Michele takes the time to make sure each exercise is done correctly, and more importantly, she takes time to understand the needs of the individual."

Rehabilitation

"I had been in severe back pain for years when a friend recommended Reach Pilates and Michele. It took several months of both private lessons and mat classes until I started feeling better, but I have been pain free now for three years. This weekly appointment is one I make sure that I never miss! My exercise routine has progressed and I am back to activities I haven't done in a long time. I have a great deal of respect for Michele and her knowledge of Pilates. "
