The very first day that I began Pilates—during the very first exercise, in fact - I distinctly remember thinking, “This is it. This is what is going to make me feel better.” And it quickly became clear that Elaine was the perfect person to learn from. She's all the things you'd want in a trainer: patient, articulate, sensitive to your body, tough when necessary - above all, she knows her stuff and she knows how to communicate that knowledge in a way that sticks. Best of all, my lower back problems have disappeared, my hamstrings are looser… honestly, I can't recommend working with Elaine enough.

I had so much “mind chatter” in my head last night on and off in class - work issues, etc.- but the exercises helped me to move through it and not dwell on it, which was a very good thing! Class helped me to re-direct my focus onto my body…like many things in life, we keep chipping away at it, seeing improvement each week!

Congratulations on your success thus far.  You have really revitalized the studio and the practice.  I look forward to my sessions and classes, and I guard these times jealously!!

I recommend Elaine's classes for people who want to stay strong and flexible. They really help the stiffness in your body which comes with aging.

Elaine has mastered the classical pilates style and always brings something new to each session. Her presence is calm and focused - at the same time, the fun environment she creates can lead to lasting friendship. Elaine always inspires me to bring my A-game!

I find Pilates great for my overall fitness. And Elaine's sessions have been especially helpful for my sporatic back problem. It occurs less often, is less painful, and heals much faster when I practice pilates regularly.
