TESTIMONIALS
Pilates has been a wonderful solution for a back condition that makes my lower back painfully stiff and sore each morning when I wake up. An orthopedic specialist has told me that although I might be a candidate for back surgery, it would not be as helpful as an exercise routine that strengthens my "core" muscles in my abdomen and back. Pilates addresses this region plentifully, as well as body alignment for better posture, and stretching for flexibility. In Pilates, I can get a full body workout without memorizing steps, or bouncing around and stressing my knees and ankles. I find it to be a great balance of a good workout and relaxing stretches in preparation for the day ahead.

Pilates at"From the Core" has turned my life around. Since beginning Pilates at Nancy's studio, I have renewed energy and feel good about myself. Pilates has helped me improve my posture and has lessened the aches and pains that I used to get in my back and neck. When I used to lift weights or do circuit training, I could not flatten my stomach. But Pilates has helped me get rid of that unwanted fat around my middle area by teaching me proper breathing and strengthening my core. My step is lighter and I am happier. Nancy and her staff have even shown me how to work with my arthritic knees without pain. The studio is warm and friendly. Right away, I felt like I was part of the Pilates family. Even though I attend group classes, I get individual attention when I need it. I would recommend "From the Core" to anyone who wants to attain optimum health, flexibility and strength.

I have had good experience with Nancy's work. She has impressed me with her thorough understanding of biomechanics and kinesiology combined with a sincere appreciation for chiropractic, how it works and its benefits. When it comes to biomechanical stabilization of the spine, we are completely "on the same page." She has been a tremendous asset with her ability to strengthen and stabilize the spine and hypermobile joints, with success where Physical Therapists have failed miserably and my care alone was not enough. She is sensitive to the concerns of my patients and the limitations of their cases and she has been able to offer workable cash plans that did not break the bank. I can recommend her both as an adjunct to ongoing care and as an alternative solution when you want to improve patient response.

Pilates has changed my whole attitude about exercise! I absolutely love it! It is an essential and vital part of my life. I believe most of it is due to the importance Nancy puts on each and every move we do. She is an extraordinary instructor who is able to communicate the importance of how our bodies are connected with our minds and our muscles. I am expecially impressed with how she watches each of us during class to make sure we are in the proper Pilates form so that we get the maximum benefit from each and every move. I will continue working on being stronger, leaner and in the best shape I've been in for years. I get excited to tell others about Pilates. My sister-in-law Debbie was visiting from Chicago and joined us for several classes and she loved it too. She's hoping to locate a studio as fabulous as "Pilates from the Core" near her home. Debbie hadn't seen me since I started Pilates and could not believe how much I had changed physically. I am so grateful to Nancy and all the women in our classes who are so encouraging to one another. I love Pilates. . .
