As an 82 year old female new to Bellingham, WA I was looking for a happy place to continue my…read moreexercise program to keep a strong CORE. I found my spot at JOY of Pilates. I took private classes with Lexi, who gently walked me through using the reformer which looked daunting to me at first! Then, I found a group class with Linda and learned more there. Linda retired and now I have wonderful Beverly as my instructor and she is excellent. She knows all the muscles and how they work. She is very encouraging and kind.

I moved away from the "studio" I have used for the last 10 or so years, and needed to find a new one. It's hard now to measure any studio against you have had such a long and great relationship with. The studio has a variety of tables & machines (not my brand, but ...) and other techniques (or programs) - TRX. After an hour of putting me through my paces, assessing my skills & fitness, to see where I would fit into group classes, I feel pretty good about Gina & the studio. It's not my first home, but I think I'll grow to fit in. Gina has a great personality for a trainer; personable, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I decided after my experience to sign up for the group classes, the first two between or calendars, all future are via the Internet, conveniently from home. I highly recommend if your are curious able Pilates or looking for a studio, you give Gina a try.

If you're interested in trying Pilates, Perfect Balance Pilates is a great place to start. My first…read morePilates session was last summer with Cynthia who has helped me strengthen relevant muscles to address my back and hip pain. Cynthia took care, early on, to make sure that I never overextended myself and used proper form to avoid injury. So often I would fall back into my old habits. You know, head forward, shoulders hunched, etc. With gentle coaching I was able to correct my posture during exercises to gain the full benefit of my efforts. On departing Sequim, I continued to practice. It's really changed my life, and I've continued to book a session with Cynthia whenever I return.

I truly highly recommend Cindy Gabriel of Active Life Pilates (formerly Burton Pilates). She is…read morealso a Certified Teacher of Gyrotonics, which has hugely benefited my body. I'm in my late fifties now, have always been active and fairly flexible but hated exercise partly because increasingly, I would do it too hard too fast (and now I know with improper alignement) and injure myself. I came to Cindy about a year ago while dealing with chronic back pain for which I was seeing a chiropractor (Dr. Cox at Sound Health Chiropractic). I knew I needed to strengthen my body to help hold the excellent adjustments made my Dr.Cox. I can't say enough about the benefits of Cindy's coaching, even on a once a week basis. She has taught me/is teaching me proper alignment which is so essential in every day life, let alone exercise. The routines are demanding but not overly so and I have learned that harder does not always benefit more. A great relief. Cindy adapts to my needs each week. I have since added my own daily (and easy) exercise routine at home. I can follow the DVD instructions easily because of Cindy's careful coaching. Needless to say, the benefits have multiplied. For someone who hated exercise, I am amazed: I feel so much stronger, as if my body were one tight unit rather than an assembly of dangling part. I actually miss the routines when I have to skip a day at home or a week of more intensified workout with Cindy. The effects are so tangible. Thanks Cindy!
