I've been on a search for the right path to improving my health. I've tried everything from…read morephysical therapy to personal trainers and everything in between. For some reason, I never really tried pilates except once at a chain gym where the instructor simply told me, "You need private instruction".   I tried a couple of private lessons but I never felt like my instructors had the right approach to Pilates or understood my goals and needs.  I moved to Lancaster less than a year ago and a few months ago and I found Leslie at Bodywise.  After my first lesson, I knew that I had finally found the right fit. Every session with her is different and I always learn something new. Her experience and style incorporate the core of traditional Pilates while at the same time mixing in newer and more contemporary styles. After a session, I feel stronger and have more energy to take on the day and I owe that to Leslie!

Leslie has been a wonderful Pilates instructor. I started with absolutely no experience and was…read morehooked immediately. I have very severe TMJ that has required several surgeries and Pilates has greatly helped my chronic pain. I didn't intend to lose weight, but found myself 35 lbs lighter after less than a year of regular sessions. I'm stronger and feel better than ever. She has also been a great support through my pregnancy and has done a lot of research to cater my sessions to best help my now growing body. I'm excited to see how she'll get me back in shape post-pregnancy!

Since COVID, they have marked off spots with plenty of space between myself and other clients. Everyone is really respectful of each other's spaces even in the lobby area. The instructor takes everyone's temperature as they enter the studio every class. All of the instructors I had while in town were super friendly! I really enjoyed my classes with Laura. If you have the opportunity, definitely check her out! She is constantly attending to all of the clients while teaching class. She makes sure you have the proper form, working the correct muscles, and then pushes you past your comfort zone to help get the most out of your workout. I had her for most of my classes in town and I never had 2 classes that were exactly the same! I really appreciated this!

After over 45 years my sister thought it would be great to start skating again. When we were kids,…read morewe loved skating there. No, it's not like riding a bike. We started out hanging on the wall the first night. We were really happy when we made 1 full lap on the rink. Then managed to stay out for one full song. Now, we go Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When my body is feeling well, I don't want to get off the rink. It's our happy place together. We've had our kids and grandkids come out, friends that come out, because I don't think any of them thought we would want to keep going. Now we can't wait for Friday to get here so we can start our weekend at Overlook. The wood floors are great and the rink is large. What we love the most is the people that work there and the people that come in to skate. It feels like family. The smiles, the waves and how are you? We are always amazed at the kids that make sure to say hi every time they see us. Th DJ's are great, will play a nice mix of music, of course us older girls love rock and roll. Live organ music is our favorite, it's just wonderful. We just wanted to get back into skating and now we've added a family.
