I was in the process of losing weight and looking to eat healthier and to find the right foods that…read moresupport my health and I hit a wall. I lost 25 pounds and could not move past it to lose more. I attended a nutrition lecture given by you and decided it was worth a shot to see if you could help me get passed my wall. It worked! After working with you, I discovered there is a lot more to weight loss then just putting food into my mouth. The biggest challenge I faced was understanding how emotions were preventing me from moving forward and how stress related issues were causing me to hold onto unwanted pounds. As far as exercise programs, I joined a gym for awhile which helped me to kick start my progress with fitness, but the trainer and gym were not meeting my needs after awhile. I started pilate's and I enjoyed the exercises and felt and saw results fast. The pilate's works for me too because you are always fully engaged with me and constantly noticing where my head is at and how to encourage me to get the right attitude in my head to have the results I want. I like the fact that you are always tuned into to my needs, energies and you use this talent of yours to find ways to encourage me to do better and to maintain a healthy attitude to succeed. I always leave pilate's in a better state of mind after spending an hour with you. Even if I came into the session in a good place, I leave with an improved attitude. Flexibility, energy and fitness are the 3 significant improvements. I am enjoying feeling agile, young(even though I am not old, but I felt old before starting pilate's), and energetic, and positive. MY love for myself has increased with every session of pilate's. I feel younger, more positive and I love myself more and deeper than I ever have before in my life. I actually like how I look, how I feel. I have increased confidence and energy for life. I am so grateful for your commitment and dedication to being a strong coach and support in my life. There is no judgment when I have made a choice that doesn't suit my needs or if I have not tried what you suggested because I was not ready to take the leap when it was suggested. You have supported me with diet, exercise, emotional and professional changes.

After a very stressful and emotional move back to the United States, it was no wonder that over the…read morecourse of a year I gained a significant amount of weight and, more importantly, my blood pressure was higher than was healthy. At this point, my doctor put me on blood pressure medication. Instead of looking at the causes of why my numbers were high, the answer in the medical community is to prescribe drugs. At this point, intellectually I knew I had to lose weight, exercise smarter and, more importantly, eat better. I met Lorna at a women's health group that I hosted at my home and more recently when she was substituting at my Pilates class. I sincerely feel that I was meant to meet up with her again - the stars were aligned! We discussed my concerns, fears, hopes and commitment level and in only six weeks I had lost weight, but more importantly, I decreased my blood pressure so that I could eventually be taken off medication. I have never been so thrilled. I feel radically better in my health and well-being. Coupled with taking one-on-one Pilates instruction with Lorna and following her nutrition plan, I have changed the course of what could have been a disastrous road. This is not a miracle (well, it is kind of), but more of a "no brainer diet". This is life changing. If you open your heart and mind to eating right and really understanding the way your body either rejects or accepts food, it will liberate you. Do you really think opening up a bag of pretzels is better for you than eating celery or an apple? We all know the answer, but if you're not getting the proper nutrients from your food, you will never feel satisfied and that is why we overeat. The one thing that I am so grateful for is my overall well-being. I am not exaggerating the fact that four months ago I could barely walk upon waking. Getting out of bed and placing my feet down on the floor - the pain was at times unbearable. Since combining the Pilates, which is better than any strength-training class I have ever taken and bringing natural, organic anti-inflammatory foods and spices into my daily diet, I no longer suffer from the intense pain from heel spurs and shoulder pains. I whole-heartedly believe that I could not have accomplished this pain-free life without Lorna's help. Is this easy? No. But it works. I look younger. I feel younger. My skin glows. My blood pressure is down. More importantly - the aches and pains - what we now know and is rampant throughout our population as inflammation - is gone!!!! What could be better than that? To live a life, free of pain, free of medication and looking 10 years younger is the reward. Oh! And your digestion will improve ten-fold. Mary Wilhelm Locust Valley, NY

The exceptional experience then begins with the most friendly of staff including Will and Taylor who are always most willing to lend a helping hand in making your P/T experience a good one. And then there is my therapist, Lauren, who was "right on " with her diagnosis as to what was contributing to my discomfort after my corrective knee surgery. Her P/T treatments and subsequent progress even impressed my surgeon who was pleasantly surprised with the lack fo swelling and muscle definition some 3+ weeks post surgery. And then there is Mike. In speaking with Lauren during one of our most recent sessions, I indicated that I may have what is commonly known as night vertigo. She proceeded to inform Mike who indicated to me that he would like to perform a test / maneuver to confirm my case of "night vertigo". After the roller coaster of a test which did in fact elicit a dizzy spell he indicated to me that in addition to being a test, teh maneuver was also considered a treatment. Lo and behold, that very evening was the first night in while where I did not experience a dizzy spell........if effective therapy is what you seek and what you need......this is the place........even better than the effective therapy provided, the entire staff is , quite simply put, "TOP NOTCH"....

This place is no longer "Evosport" Or "Evolution fitness". It is under new management. "Brother's…read moreGym" is what it is called. It is a family owned place, and it feels like it. Some form of Rock is always playing instead of that poppy club crab. As far as equipment goes, they seem to have one of everything. Squat rack, a place for deadlifts, a hack squat, and good machines. They also are the first smaller place I've come across that has chains to clamp on a barbell. Dumbbells up to 150 I believe, though it may be 130. They also have a room for "spin" and zumba and the like. And some ellipticals. But who cares about that. I just love the family feel, the price, and that nobody looks at you funny when you grunt and sweat and really push yourself. Also, I've not yet found a day where it was really crowded. The review below (above?) me makes the last owner sound like a nightmare, but this place is allot different with the new owners, and they put allot of money into repairing everything before they reopened. Glad the last guy lost his business and had to sell.
