Exceptional One on One Instruction...

 I opted for one on one instruction 2 years ago with Vivian.   I had hip and knee replacement and felt very uncomfortable walking.   Since starting my Pilates sessions I have more mobility!   Vivian monitors every exercise so I get optimal benefits from each movement and I look forward to my weekly visits.

I’ve known Jennifer and Serenity for over 20 years and for a good part of that time either I or my late husband did Pilates there.  We loved Jennifer and her instructors and her studio.  But last January, my life became a bit complicated … well, more so than usual.  I was in the process of downsizing and moving and trying to get my house ready to put on the market.  I didn’t think I could do everything I needed to do and stick with Pilates, so I dropped out for about 5 months. 

Oh, big mistake!  Huge!  Because at the end of May I had a painful bout of sciatica.  It made my left leg weaker than normal and I had a couple of falls when my knee just buckled and down I went.  I wasn’t hurt, well, a bit bruised and really mad at my knee and myself.  Because I realized that by not exercising, I had lost all the strength I had built up through Pilates.

By mid-June I was back in Pilates with a friend.  We do a duet one afternoon a week for an hour.  We are the same age and need to strengthen not only our core, but upper and lower body as well.

Our current teacher, Audrey, is young, energetic, and quite the task master.  We love her to bits even though she works us hard.  Audrey is quick to point out what we are doing wrong, but more importantly what we are doing right.  For that one hour she is constantly helping, encouraging, explaining, correcting, demonstrating and more. 

Her coaching and our work has paid off.  I have much more strength, less pain, even from arthritis, and more stability and good balance.  I went from depending on my walker all the time when the sciatica hit to being able to walk at home without the walker.  I know my posture is getting better.  I feel really good and I have much more energy. 

I love Pilates, especially at Serenity.  Every Serenity instructor either I or my late husband had over the years has been amazing.  Really spot on with their training.  I’m 84 and although yes, I would rather be sipping a cold one on a tropical beach on Pilates day (who wouldn’t!), I know that I will never give up my time at Serenity.

Tom and Sue are enjoying their workouts together and feeling better than ever at 80 and 76 years of age!

Sue says Tom is more balanced and less awkward when he walks.   Sue had a knee replacement 3 months ago and is recovering well doing Pilates.   Much less pain and improved range of motion.

Tom says Sue is just perfect and his sciatic pain is gone since doing Pilates.

I have been taking Pilates with Jennifer and her staff for 15 years.   Jennifer's studio, Serenity Pilates, offers classes and one on one experience, which I appreciate as my sessions are tailored to fit my needs.   I have always been impressed by Jennifer's knowledge and level of experience which shows in the quality of instructors she has in her studio.   Everyone is friendly and makes you feel like part of a family.

I am a runner and Pilates has completely changed my running style. I would recommend Serenity Pilates to any athlete (runner, golfer, cyclist, etc.) who wants to strengthen their core muscles and increase their flexibility.  She works with me to reach my fitness goals while challenging me at every turn.

She is awesome!

My back no longer hurts since I have been coming to Pilates.   If I do something to make it hurt between sessions, I come in and feel better again.

"My Pilates experience, with Jennifer's coaching, has improved my flexibility, strength and balance.  

I am now able to enjoy more activities, free from pain, because of practicing Pilates!"

I have been doing Pilates Mat and Equipment classes for over 12 years now and just love it!

The mat classes are fun and Heidi really personalizes my Reformer sessions. I notice my clothes fit better, posture has improved, and blood pressure is lower.

"My Pilates workouts have kept my back pain and sciatica from creeping back.

Jennifer keeps us moving and it is fun to experiment with all the equipment.  Jennifer's knowledge of pyhsical therapy and Pilates has kept me from compromising my lifestyle."
