Taking a Pilates class at Better Body Studios is a wonderful and fun workout experience along with being a great alternative to the usual daily cardio/weight-lifting workout. Krisi and her Better Body staff are all professional, friendly, and always have a big smile on their face. I have been a client of Krisi's and Better Body Studios since its inception, and even a few years before that when she was at another studio. I'm a very active male, an avid runner, and an all-round sports player, so I tend to have tight, sore leg muscles on a regular basis. So before taking classes at Better Body Studios, I was searching alternative ways to help keep my leg and back muscles stay limber and my core stronger, because stretching them on my own was only a short-term fix. A friend mentioned about trying Pilates, but to be honest I was a little skeptical about trying Pilates thinking it was too "girly" for me, until I had my initial private lessons with Krisi. I quickly learned Pilates was not just "rolling around" on a Yoga mat, and it actually involved using various equipment such as the Tower, Reformer, and other contraptions; it was actually a very tough, hard workout...and definitely not "girly" as I was always breaking out into a sweat! Each new class brings a new physical challenge which I truly enjoy...and with all the breathing techniques involved, a mental relief from the day's stresses too. After each class I have more energy, relaxed limber muscles, stress-free, and just feeling all-round great...and I even feel taller! read more
