"I have never been known to be the athletic type, and never liked working out, but I absolutely love Pilates For Life! I actually look forward to my pilates sessions every week. I had done mat classes and 1 reformer class before, but my sessions with Cathy trumps them all. In 10 weeks, I was able to see more definition in my arms, my clothes fit better, and I feel healthier. Cathy gives you the support that you need, while at the same time, encourages you to challege yourself. I'm so glad I found her!! If you have done pilates, or have always wanted to try, I would highly recommend you giving Pilates For Life a shot!"

"I play a lot of soccer indoor and outdoor and had knee surgery about 2 years ago. I am in my 40's and after my knee surgery I was always pulling a muscle, really sore after games I thought that I was just getting old and would have to find something else to do besides play soccer or basketball. I am very athletic and I coach junior high sports. I want to stay in shape but hate going to the gym. I received a newsletter for healthier living in the mail and it talked about Pilates. I had always wanted to take Pilates but didn't know how to go about it. I found Cathy and it has been GREAT. I am not sore anymore after my games, my knee is stronger with Pilates, I have not strained or pulled anthing since I started Pilates. I feel more energized and really enjoy Pilates it is a great workout and Cathy is excellent. "

"Cathy and her team have an incredible amount of knowledge and passion for exercise and healthy living, and it's contagious! As a physical therapist I have been frustrated by the lack of knowledge of some exercise instructors, but when I discovered Pilates for Life I was thrilled. As a working mom with four children I found myself with all kinds of aches and pains, and a constantly expanding mid-section. Since committing to pilates and yoga I have jump started my weight loss, increased my energy level, and feel more fit than I have in years. Cathy and her team inspire me to make the time to take care of myself. Thanks Pilates For Life! "

"I finally made the decision to do something good for myself in Dec 07. My gift to myself - 4 private lessons with Cathy. I have always wanted to try Pilates but I'm not an athletic person and really never was so it was a little scary for me. WOW, I LOVE it. It's really the best thing I have done in a long time and Cathy so supportive yet she pushes you to go beyond your comfort level. She believes in you and eventually you belive in yourself! I have been going 3 times a week since Mid January and my clothes are now to big ! I still have a way's to go to get the body that I really want but I have been receiving comments on my transformation from everyone. Can't get much better than that ! I have and will continue to recommend Cathy & her other instructors to everyone. I'm thankful that I made this decision and more thankful that I found Cathy. "

"Cathy at Pilates for Life has made such an important difference in my life and future health!
I had a neck injury and had lower back pain. I had been running and working out with weights. But the pain in my back became too severe and I had to stop. It was frustrating not being able to work out.
I was referred to Cathy by my Chiropractor who was treating me for my injuries. I needed help gaining strength in my core, in order to decrease the pain in my back. At that time it hurt to even stand or take a walk.
I have been with Cathy for over a year and a half. I have never felt so strong! I love the way Pilates has transformed my body. I have surpassed my goal of gaining strength in my core. I have become more flexible, I have better posture and I grew an inch!
Typically someone my age (46) would be concerned about losing strength and height. Not me! Thanks to Pilates for Life and Cathy!"

"Recently I trained for and ran in the 2008 Boston Marathon. After reading an article in Runner's World about the importance of core strength for runners, I decided to give Pliates a try. I began to notice the benefits of pilates quickly. I felt stronger on my runs and the back pain and lack of flexibitly I had was improving. I have noticed that I rarely need to take the back pain presciption medicines that I had needed so much before pilates. This year's "Boston" was my third one, and I took 7 minutes off my personal best time!!! I felt stronger than ever, and I know pilates definately helped me get up "Heartbreak Hill"!!! I highly recommend pilates to anyone that wants to improve their running ability. Thanks Cathy!!!

""I decided to make a change in my life physically, back in January 2006. I had been out of college for a few years and was really focusing on getting my life together and forgetting about my body. I joined the gym and was going through my regular routine but was so bored. I finally decided to get a personal trainer in September 2006 and worked with him until September 2007. I did so much cardio and weight training but wasn't seeing a significant change, only in my pocket book. I finally gave myself two new choices, Pilates or krav maga. I found a krav maga place and didn't not like the vibe. Then I found Kathy, who was right across the street from my gym. I tried the tower class first and mat classes. Next thing I knew I was doing privates, semi classes, tower, and mat. I was hooked! It is the best work out I have ever had. I've watched my body tone up, my stomach flatten, my posture improve, and best of all lose weight. My clothes don't fit, people keep asking "what are you doing, you look great", and I feel amazing. All of these improvements in 8 months! I will do Pilates for the rest of my life. Kathy has made such an impact on me I can not thank her enough."
