Traditional Pilates --Testimonials

Here's what our students are saying about our classes!

I've done many types of exercise regiments including yoga, step aerobics and Jazzercise. I've been doing pilates with Leslie Anthony for 2 years now and feel that the results in weight control and physical strength is better than any of the other things I've tried. I've had numerous comments on how good I look.

With the abdominal strength that Pilates quickly created, my once weekly trips to the chiropractor have substantially decreased.
I’m lighter on my feet with a flatter belly and leaner physique – and with very little effort on my (lazy) part! Even being exercise-adverse, I love Pilates. I’m so sold on the benefits, that I even bring my teenage sons on it. They love it too!

  Leslie Anthony's patient and knowledgeable teaching of the Pilates method has allowed me to properly strengthen my "core" trunk muscles and relieve back pain which had developed despite years of regular exercise.

Pilates is great for my lower back problems! After 10 years of lackluster results from traditional back exercises and basic physical therapy, I finally found Pilates and am having solid results. I am much stronger than when I started 2 years ago, and I am able to do activities I couldn't finish even last year. I think the combination of the core strengthening and stretching is the best thing I could have done as “therapy” and I can't imagine ever quitting now!

  I had back surgery and thought I'd never regain my strength and flexibility until Pilates. But it's critical to take this program with a highly qualified instructor like Leslie Anthony.

When I started Pilates in June 2002, Leslie thought I wouldn't make it. I couldn't even do a roll up. But from what I understood of Pilates and core conditioning, I knew it was what my body needed. Gradually I began to "get it."

I had thought that I was genetically predisposed to look like my mother with a Humpty Dumpty shape -- thin legs and arms with a fat torso. I hated photographs of myself. (When did I start to look like my mother?)

By the end of the summer, I could see a visible difference. My abdomen was beginning to tighten. It was so motivating.

My daughter puts her arm around me and says to her friends, "Doesn't my mother look great?!"
