I think about how things have changed for me after coming to the studio for the last year.  I've lost 25 pounds and I can't remember the number of inches I've lost either, but what I gained was much more important. I gained the ability to wear a fabulous dress to a friend’s wedding that showed off my waist. I also gained the ability to get my hindquarters up over my head (a feat that I never thought I would be able to achieve). More importantly than the dress and the hindquarter-raising though, was the sense of adventure that I was able to bring back to my life...I had become sedentary and my life was becoming more limited by my inability to use my body. This year has been filled with adventure… I climbed Mt. Whitney, I'm now riding a motorcycle (my sense of balance has improved dramatically) and I'm in search of my next adventure, no longer afraid that I'm not strong enough or have the endurance. Thank you.

I love coming to the studio where I've discovered a unique group of individuals that are able to not only provide instruction, but support offer and a fun relaxing place to work out.  I've been a member of more health clubs that I can remember, and I always felt out of place, either a pilgrim in an unholy land or a number, where I had to wait for equipment. No one knew if I worked out or not.  In your studio, I've found an environment where I actually enjoy being in. I feel as though I belong, and everyone makes me feel special. Thank you… I'm looking forward to the next year as a member

Pilates Plus has made me a better athlete in golf, volleyball, tennis, and basketball. Not only am I stronger and more flexible but I’ve learned to move in a more fluid and smart motion that prevents injury. I also like the flexibility of working out when I want to whether it is on the reformers, weights or cardio machines.

I injured my sciatic nerve in a motorcycle incident and had such pain from it that I contemplated quitting my motorcycle tour business. I thought my motorcycle riding days were over. My doctor could only prescribe lengthy tests and pain medication, saying that basically my nerve injury was not fixable. After 3 months of Pilates training, I was riding pain-free. After 2 years, Pilates — the discovery process — continues to delight me. Thank you much loved teacher, great leader, and (most important!), Great Rejuvenator!

As a competitive Irish Dancer, I spend many hours each week training and practicing for my competitions.  These practices are certainly not easy, but since joining CAPPS I have noticed a huge difference in my overall strength, both mentally and physically. Carol and the entire CAPPS staff are able to help me on a personal level, as they do with all of their clients. My experience at CAPPS has not only been rewarding, but it has been an incredibly enjoyable experience as well

It’s been a fun challenge becoming more aware of my body mechanics. I’ve definitely increased my core strength and flexibility; and I have noticeable quicker recovery from the aches and pains associated with my work. Most importantly, when I’m on the job, I’m more confident my body will perform for me when I need it to.
