Josh & Louisa

Josh and I started working with Magda in our mid 50s. With her kind individual attention, sharp knowledge of her craft, and gentle humor she has helped guide us into our 60s with increased strength, vitality and fewer aches and pains.With any luck, we’ll still be coming to Magda in our 80s!”

I love Magda's Pilates classes! I originally joined her class to heal painful tendinitis of the gluteus medius, which Magda helped me do no time. However, I got hooked on the reformer, and my now weekly class of foot, core, and arm work keeps my body healthy and strong. The hour flies by with Magda's expert instruction, gentle nature, and wit.

“The 10 years of weekly classes with Magda have truly transformed our lives. Now 83, I feel physically more resilient than I was at 73, with far less aches and pains. Magda is a pleasure to do Pilates with, works us hard, but always with great respect to our limits, and a great sense of humor and curiosity. Work for the body, humor for the soul.

For months I suffered with sciatica, and the task of putting on pants used to be quite
difficult. Now I am able to do this with no pain. In addition, my stamina has improved
greatly. I would highly recommend Anneliese; her proficiency in her chosen career is
obvious, as is her love for it.

 I've been working with Anneliese for years now. She's the reason I feel strong, my back doesn't hurt, and I can move into new adventures with confidence. I've gained body memory over time about how to move that keeps me safe and strong – I can fall safely and get up with ease; and can lift and pull without strain or injury! I value the whole-body strengthening of her classes, and creating healthy alignment and movement habits. She focuses on the individual – on what I need to heal and maintain wellness.

Rosi and Magda are the best! I have been taking regular Pilates group classes with Rosi for five years now, and it's one of the best parts of my week — not only for the exercise program, which is constantly challenging, thoughtful, and inspiring (you will see amazing benefits to your strength and flexibility!), but also for the supportive and generous community that grows right alongside the work we do. I truly love it.

I started taking Pilates classes with Rosibel in my forties to strengthen my core and lower
back muscles. I became hooked pretty quickly. Each class is challenging, and I’ve seen
huge improvements in my overall strength, balance, flexibility, and posture. Rosi is an
experienced teacher with a deep understanding of Pilates principles and anatomy. Her
knowledge, insightful feedback and positive attitude make coming to classes a true
pleasure.

“Chris has been the first person to give me a feeling of control over how my body feels
each day. From the very first lesson, she inspired trust and confidence in her approach.
She has a deep understanding of body mechanics, but never gets ahead of what my
body is able to do. There’s no such thing as a panacea for back problems, but if you’re
willing to put in the work, Chris is the closest thing to it.”
