I’ve been exer­cis­ing at Red­mond Pilates for nearly a year. I love it! It is a great stu­dio with excel­lent instruc­tors and has pro­vided me with a nice sense of com­mu­nity. I know when I train at Red­mond Pilates I am get­ting authen­tic Pilates train­ing at its finest, per­son­al­ized for my needs and my move­ment pat­terns. I have seen amaz­ing results in my pos­ture, flex­i­bil­ity and core strength. I no longer suf­fer back aches from my desk job and look for­ward to that great feel­ing I expe­ri­ence after every work out. It is a won­der­ful stu­dio, with friendly teach­ers that pro­mote a per­son­al­ized expe­ri­ence and a sense of com­mu­nity. Red­mond Pilates is a very spe­cial work­out studio.

After see­ing my pos­ture and fig­ure dete­ri­o­rate from years of sit­ting at a desk, I decided one day to stop the decline. I have always hated going to the gym; the masses run­ning on tread­mills and crowds pump­ing away on cycles was never for me, Bor­ing! I wanted some­thing that I would stick to and that would show me real results. I signed up for an intro­duc­tory pack­age at Red­mond Pilates and have stuck with it for over a year. I have lost 45 pounds with a healthy diet and my reg­u­lar Pilates work­outs. I look for­ward to my class; it is per­sonal and tar­geted to my needs and the instruc­tors at Red­mond Pilates really take the time to make indi­vid­u­al­ized cor­rec­tions to max­i­mize the ben­e­fits of my work­out. I love Red­mond Pilates! It has made me strong, with­out bulk­ing up and it has really changed my body and cor­rected my pos­ture. Pilates length­ens your waist and inte­grates body move­ments, adding grace and endurance. I have a waist again and even more impor­tant I have the flex­i­bil­ity and strength to con­tinue to live an active lifestyle.

I was look­ing at a Peo­ple mag­a­zine the other day and remarked at what a beau­ti­ful fig­ure Anna Pac­quin had; then I read she was “addicted” to Pilates. I wasn’t sur­prised, as she had that Pilates look. I really rec­om­mend Red­mond Pilates to any­one who wants real, notice­able results from their work­out. I’ve tried those “kick your butt” style exer­cises like the Bar Method that make you sore; Pilates doesn’t do that to you. It changes your body from the inner mus­cles out and is sub­tle, but very effec­tive. Court­ney, Lexi and Macaully are fan­tas­tic teach­ers that pro­vide per­son­al­ized instruc­tion and spot on cor­rec­tions to my move­ment so I can achieve the changes that my body needs to move effi­ciently.  For any­one that wants per­son­al­ized instruc­tion from knowl­edge­able, friendly, instruc­tors in an inti­mate, bright, stu­dio envi­ron­ment, I highly rec­om­mend Red­mond Pilates. Pilates instruc­tion isn’t cheap, but gain­ing a new lease on life makes it worth it.
