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.

Brand New Body

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.

I have been going to Redmond Pilates Center since February of 2009. The instructors really care about you here, and they are passionate about helping you to achieve your goals.

I had a very specific goal that I wanted to achieve when I started, and my instructor Courtney believed in me, and helped me to create an entire fitness plan. Not only did I meet my goal, I had exceeded it! Since reaching my goal, I still regularly attend 2 sessions a week, and continue to see a huge improvement in my muscle tone around my core, arms, shoulders, back, butt, and thighs. My posture has also improved. I used to have very bad lower back pain, and that has improved significantly as well.

I really can’t thank Redmond Pilates Center enough for always believing in me, pushing me to excel, and encouraging me on my path to better health. They constantly challenge me with more advanced workouts so that it never gets boring, and my body continues to gain strength and see results.

“I just wanted to write and thank you for all of your outstanding effort in putting together the Redmond Pilates Center. What a gift this has been to the community! For the first time, I have found an exercise that is challenging, fun, and produces results quickly. As you know, when I first came to the center I was completely “tied in knots” and experienced neck and shoulder pain and tightness. Though I considered myself to be in pretty good shape overall, multiple pregnancies had left my abdominal muscles in sad shape. Through your kind but relentless efforts, those problems are greatly improved. I have found the instructors to be professional, accomplished, and personable. The center is well maintained and provides a very positive environment in which to achieve personal fitness goals. I would not be exaggerating when I state that Pilates has done great things for me. The intense concentration required has taught me to be more focused in all areas of endeavor. I have also learned conscious relaxation, again a valuable tool. Even everyday activities seem easier once the “Powerhouse” is engaged. My level of energy has gone up tremendously. Best of all the challenges go on and on. Just when I think I have gotten the moves down, I find there is a whole new level. The work just goes deeper and deeper and produces ongoing results. I wish you the very best as you expand the facilities. I have no doubt you will be successful always because you provide a quality service that produces great benefits. I expect to be an extremely satisfied client for a very long time.

Thanks again,

After four years of wedded bliss, laziness and bad eating, I came to realize that the body in the mirror was one I did not recognize.

Pilates has helped me see more muscle, flexibility and tone which had been missing for a few years. I feel and look better and stronger through Pilates.

Thank you Redmond Pilates instructors for helping me regain my body. I’m going to miss you all very much.

Mother of three

I started Pilates two months after delivering my third son. I came with back and S.I. joint instability, postural issues as well as many other orthopedic problems. I was overweight and out of shape from back to back pregnancies.

Now seven months later, I have dropped 70 lbs. Although, I have been my current weight in the past, I have never achieved this level of condition and body shape. My husband tells me that I look better now than when he married me!

My progress as been slow due to my orthopedic issues, and many times I wanted to give up. I am grateful for my instructor’s encouragement and for the awareness they’ve given me of the importance of having a strong body core for everything I do.

I can’t imagine where I would be (orthopedic ally speaking) in ten years if I had not discovered Pilates

Thank you for my new body!

My Experience with Pilates!

Webmaster — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:46:37 +0000

Four and a half months ago I started Pilates. Besides the advancing aging one gets in their mid to late fifties, I have had arthritis in both knees since I was a child and can include two knee surgeries and one foot surgery to my medical resume. My body was freezing up and even walking, minor gardening and housekeeping tasks were beginning to be a struggle.

I saw an ad for Pilates and thought maybe it would work because it appeared to not be dependent on jumping, jogging or putting stress on my knees.

I can with no qualms say that Pilates has rescued me from early old age. I have been able to strengthen my whole body, relieve the knee stress and gain endurance. I am a long way from a “perfect” body, but after only four months, I can do things today that I didn’t think I could ever do again. I just finished remodeling my house, climbing ladders, moving furniture, etc. and it was truly amazing how my body responded.

The Redmond Pilates Center is a certified Pilates location. The trainers have been thorough, caring and diligent in helping me to progress. They have kept me centered and taught me an immense amount about body movement and training. I am very, very grateful to them all and I highly recommend the Center to anyone who wants better physical health!
