But from time to time I get shin splints and in general I think I have weaker shins. So I looking for other ways to get exercise and stay fit that wouldn't be putting so much pressure on my shins, until I can start my PT treatments. I luckily came across April and Charlene From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed and felt like I belonged in the community. Everyone was so friendly and positive. I absolutely love April's energy and her positive, fun personality She always makes me laugh in class and makes sure to encourage everyone at all levels. I have taken Zumba classes many times before and I've enjoyed them, but I've never met people like April and Charlene who were just so down to earth and personable and made me feel so comfortable and right at home Last week we did a fun XMas playlist which was super cute and incorporated great moves, and working different parts of our bodies. I love how April incorporates core and muscle work into her songs I always end up leaving the class smiling and in a better mood then when I started, so that's definitely good thing! Not to mention that post workout glow I really wish April taught more Zumba classes during the week. I would definitely go to her 3x/week for Zumba if that was an option!!

I can't say enough incredible things about Cristina . From the very first session, I felt…read morecompletely comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Their voice is calming, their presence is grounding, and their ability to guide you into a deeply relaxed state feels effortless and natural. What truly sets her apart is how personalized each session feels. They take the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and tailor the experience to exactly what you need. It never feels scripted or generic -- it feels intentional and deeply intuitive. The results have been amazing. I've experienced real, lasting changes that I honestly didn't think were possible in such a gentle way. Instead of feeling "worked on," I felt supported and empowered throughout the entire process. Beyond their skill, she is warm, professional, and incredibly passionate about what they do. You can tell this isn't just a job for her -- it's something she truly believe in.

I've known Kelly Coffey for a while now in various contexts. Her Pleasure Principles online course is a phenomenal and fast way to eradicate the impacts of shame from your life, and just an all around great resource. She's the same as a trainer as she is in every other way that I've encountered her: Brilliant. Creative. Caring. Real. Funny. Effective. Whatever your level of excellence or shortcoming- in fitness or in life - you can show up exactly where and as you are and Coffey will meet you there and help you get to where you want to you, with zero judgement about any of it. Highly recommend!

Don't let the "froo-froo" language (how do you spell that?) of "self-care and compassion" fool you; Kelly is both straightforward and direct in her delivery, making what can seem difficult to grasp both clear AND practical. There is no disputing that the Principles she outlines are on the mark for what most of us need, and she offers all the support and encouragement to help us practice them, while modeling the practice herself. In my one-on-one session with her, she helped me breakthrough a block I was having that has helped me to move forward with the practice of the principles and get me on my way!

I want to compliment Studio Helix for offering the Pilates classes taught by Bob Hannum. I…read morerecently saw Bob's Pilates videos online and became one of his students. Because my health and conditioning improved so much, I wondered where Bob taught live lessons. Turned out he taught at Studio Helix in Northampton, MA. My hat is off to residents in that area because they can get a good teacher in the flesh, while I live in Los Angeles and can only replay his videos over and over. Students wanting a good Pilates teacher can get one by visiting Studio Helix and signing up for Bob Hannum's classes. He's got the Pilates principles insight, pace and movement training, experience with students at all levels and abilities, and expertise to win my trust and confidence as a continued student. I do Pilates for me, but would go to Studio Helix for the live teacher experience and group motivation. If you make the effort to get to the studio and take B. Hannum's Pilates class, don't underestimate the value of teacher observation and feedback in your learning process, especially when students doing physical exercises can be off or develop little bad habits. To be able to follow his pace is another benefit of being there.

This is a follow-up so you need to read my earlier review…read more My elbow has been feeling much better. I have not have to wear an elbow brace to do the same exercises that I do in my gym regularly. His advice worked well. It, not only, diminished the pain in my elbow but the pain has not been coming back or increasing. The pain has been constantly decreasing. Pain relapse in my elbow had always been a problem. My past providers, except my PCP/ortho doctor who was a big joke, would do ultrasound and soft tissues in my elbow and arm. The pain would subside but they would all come back after a few days, some longer than others. Dr. Brady was the only one who did not even touch my arm or my elbow in treating my elbow pain (official diagnosis of my pcp/ortho was right medial epicondylitis). He worked on my chest muscles and posture to address my elbow pain. To him, my elbow was not the problem. To him, my elbow was telling me that I have problems somewhere else. My knee has also been constantly improving ever since he taught me how to walk and stand properly -- again, it was the posture. My back is the only one that has been a bit stubborn (like its owner) but it is also improving. The stretch exercises that he taught me for my back complements well the back stretches that Matt Shaw of the BU Athletic Enhancement Center taught me. The combined stretches from these people seem to be the best fit for my back problem (hopefully) currently. I like the fact that he is a very approachable person. He does answer my questions via e-mail on his own time (without additional charges or complaints from him).

Both Kim and Robin are very friendly and welcoming and they are very knowledgeable in the classes they teach. To be honest with you guys, I do not like waking up early on the weekend just to work out and do cardio. I'm tired, I'm lazy and I just want to sleep. But there is something magical about the studio and the Body Combat class. The energy Kim and Robin bring to every class leaves me speechless and in awe. About a quarter of the way into the Body Combat class I always suddenly find myself going from a tired slob to a smiling, energetic and motivated athlete! They are always super supportive and motivating at the same time. This class is literally my morning pick me up. I honestly wouldn't be able to do it without them so I would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication. I would not be able to workout without their help.

I came in specifically for new orthotics. I hadn't had orthotics in over a year and was long…read moreoverdue. They use a scanner that measures the alignment of your feet. There is no margin for error. The scan goes to a facility that makes them specifically for you. I forgot the exact amount, but they're in the neighborhood of $300. Call them to double check. Again, these are custom tailored just for you. A very knowledgeable chiropractor with probably over 3 decades of experience helps you personally with the process. He's great! He's the only one who fits your orthotics. This is for anyone who has challenges with their alignment because of their feet. Ex: You receive chiropractic, osteopathic manual therapy, PT or massage therapy and no matter what you feel the treatment doesn't hold up. You know your somatic practitioner is amazing but your feet are preventing the treatments from fully helping you. Or you just have serious problems standing on your feet. I'm both. I receive monthly osteopathic treatment from my Osteopath. A doctor in a hospital. Though not an MD, a DO takes the same amount of schooling. A DO can prescribe medication and they can perform surgery just like an MD. They are not Nurse practitioners. Or PTs. My osteopath specializes in manual therapy. I highly recommend getting orthotics here. It's a great office. If I weren't seeing my osteopath, I would consider seeing the chiropractor who fit my orthotics. He's also the trainer of the gym. The gym is probably great for someone who lives nearby with alignment issues. Great overall environment.

Not for me. Did not vibe with the head guy. During the initial training sessions you need to do…read morebefore you can use the gym on your own, I felt that the trainer was more concerned about where I put my water bottle down than what my form looked like during an exercise. He would also just sort of walk away while we were counting reps, so I never knew when to start/stop. One time I caught him stretching with his eyes closed when I thought he was watching my form. I also felt fat-shamed, even though I clearly explained up front that I've struggled with eating disorders for years. (Believe me, I already hate myself and feel ashamed, I don't need his help!) I guess some people like it a lot. Honestly, at 62, I felt I was too young too be there! Very nice building and location and friendly support staff. I went about 3-4 times and just didn't go back. No follow-up BTW, even though I am still owed sessions.
