Mary is a business owner, 58, and overweight.  I focused on overall strengthening with a variety of movements to keep the heart rate up.  We worked primarily on the Pilates Reformer once, sometimes twice a week for a little over one year (with the exception of 3 weeks off for our combined vacations). 

She reported having lost 3 dress sizes during that time.

Tori is a real estate agent, 55, and diagnosed with Lupus. She has always been in good physical shape and wanted to continue staying active.   I varied her routine based on how she felt on workout days.  We worked together 2-3 times a week on all Pilates equipment - Reformer, Tower, Ladder Barrel, and various small equipment.  

She reports that without Pilates her joints become stiff and her muscles tighten making it unpleasant to do routine tasks.

Michael is a corporate executive, 49, and was looking for an exercise routine to help with poor posture, and "unreasonable pain and lack of mobility to move easily".  I focused on muscle lengthening, balance, and back strengthening.  We worked together once a week on primarily the Pilates Tower, then as he got stronger, on the Reformer and Ladder Barrel. 

He reports an appreciation for Pilates' ability to improve his posture and help him "move normal".

Maura is an attorney, 46, and diagnosed with osteoporosis.  I focused on muscle lengthening, strength, and balance.  We worked once a week on the Reformer, Tower and Ladder Barrel. 

She reports feeling great relief from reoccurring neck/shoulder pain, and easier joint mobility.
