Pilates, Etc.

I do Pilates and strength training weekly. I also fit in yoga when I can. Pilates has completely improved my performance, overall wellbeing in general and is a great complement to my other exercise programs. I noticed it the most during Covid when I couldn’t do Pilates much and my body suffered. It was a very important part of my weekly program, and I realized I needed to get back to Pilates to feel “whole” again. I am a total advocate of Pilates and think it would benefit almost everyone. I am always telling people about Nola and Pilates, Etc. I know many people think it’s more of a female practice, but I’ve had my husband come with me over the years and he enjoys it too. It’s a great overall workout that can be customized in so many ways for all different types of people and their goals. Jenn C.

I cannot say enough about the quality of Pilates instruction that I get in Nola's Pilates classes. I began taking private lessons because I had some issues with my shoulder. She gave me modifications so that when I began classes, I was able to fully participate. When it became evident that I would need a shoulder replacement, she concentrated on getting my muscles strong to support my recovery--results were amazing. I was able to get back to Pilates class quickly. She placed me in a restorative class that kept me flexible and began to heal my shoulder surgery. I recently had a new hip and we proceeded in the same manner. My doctor was impressed with how quickly I recovered. When I started playing golf again, Nola gave me exercises to do at home. Within ten days, my golf game improved. Nola's classes are instructional, never boring. She continues her Pilates education so that she can intoduce new exercises and encourages us to be our best. At 76 I am still quite flexib...

I attend Pilates two times a week and feel that it has increased my muscle strength and built a strong core. My goal with Pilates is to keep in shape as I age. Flexibility, fascia health and being able to move properly in my 50’s and beyond is extremely important to me. I love going to Pilates at the studio and having someone knowledgeable and experienced guide the class. I not only see a difference physically, I find I am moving better, more aware of posture, breathing and flexibility. Jodi T.
