I have been a member of "Just Breath Pilates", 1931 E.Daily Dr., Camarillo, 93010, 805-482 7110
Owner Leslie Brangham for about 3 years.
There are three instructors: Leslie, Jessica Morrison and Lynette.
We had a good relationship for over 2 years.
I started out with Jessica for the first year, then had Leslie for almost another year and back to Jessica for the last year.
I suffer from Ataxia, an illness which effects ones balance and exercise is very helpful for me.
Going from my car a few steps to the Studio I use a cane. Many times clients offer their help and I accepted this. Until one day Leslie told me that she does not approve off this help because I could fall taking another client down with me and this person could get injured and then sue Leslie for their damage.
I stopped doing this. Several people did not know this and still offered me their help, so I had to tell them I am not allowed to accept help anymore. Mentioning that, did not sit well with Leslie.
On 9/18/2013 at 11 AM I was on my way to the Studio when a lady came from the next door store and asked where I was going. She then said: Oh, I always wanted to see this and opened the door to the Studio. Jessica was nearby and explained the Studio and pricing to her. As soon as the lady left Leslie pounced on me and furiously said: "I told you not to ask people for help." I explained that I did not ask for help, but the lady just took over. Then Leslie said: "that I do not fit in, because I have to hold on to equipment to make my way through the Studio. I should go to anther Studio or Physical Therapy. That I do not change the springs on the equipment - which nobody else does!" She said this is her preference when she does this.
If a person has to cancel a lesson one has to call in the day before which I do. Today she complained, that they loose a lesson when I can not come. Never once did I just not show up. Always offered to pay for it.
I believe, that today was just the last straw and she was determined for a long time to take the first opportunity to expel me.
No answer necessary - every word is true.
