Kelly Coffey's Pleasure Principles is the most straightforward, introspective, and useful course I…read morehave ever seen. And I've seen a lot over the past 30 years. As much as I thought I had it together, I had never dealt with my personal demons, chief among them SHAME. Shame caused me to stop putting myself first, to stop paying attention to my body's needs, to stop caring regardless of how I felt. Once I realized that there is nothing wrong with me, I was able to play the PART consistently in my life. It became easy once I stopped fighting it and learned to care for myself and experience deep pleasure. I love Coffey's forgiving yet no BS approach--I needed to hear all of these things in my own language, and she nailed it. I have been using the tools from Pleasure Principles in my life for the last 2+ months, and they have made all the difference. I'm calmer...more focused...less reactive...and most important of all, I'm learning from my experiences--able to analyze, forgive, and move forward. A million thanks--I raise my (decaf) coffee to Strong Coffey! Note: she does have a Klatch option that is a paid monthly subscription to join others with similar situations/goals. Yes, it is more money, but unlike another review I don't feel that it is any kind of bait-and-switch. I felt that the money I spent for Pleasure Principles is fair considering what I got out of it. You are not required to join the Klatch, but she strongly encourages that people get the support they need to make & maintain lifestyle changes.

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!

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 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 had been struggling with a particular health issue for years and had tried many different approaches over a long period of time. Cindy took the time to really listen, understand the full picture, and help me find a solution that actually worked. Beyond that, she gently helped me get back on track with supportive health habits that feel sustainable -- not overwhelming -- and that continue to move me toward feeling the way I want to feel in my body. She is both incredibly knowledgeable and empowering, helping you focus on what truly moves the needle while making changes in a way that feels doable over time. I am so grateful for this experience. To feel relief from pain I had been living with -- and to also walk away with an empowering, clear path forward -- has been invaluable. 100% worth the investment.
