What clients say
"I have been training with Annie for the last five years, from when I was my most fit and active, as well as through two pregnancies/pregnancy recoveries and a number of different aches, pains, and injuries along the way. Whatever I was feeling or my body needed in that moment, Annie delivered, strengthening my weak spots, challenging me to my limit, or stretching and restoring muscles that needed some TLC. She is an amazing teacher with a truly inspiring wealth of knowledge about the classical Pilates method and the countless ways it can improve your body, mind, and spirit. Even after five years, I am amazed that she is still able to bring in new and unfamiliar variations or adaptations of exercises that help me explore what my body is capable of, to dig deeper, and to bring out even more from the exercises on all of the classical apparatuses. And to top it off, she's just fun, friendly, and a delight to spend an hour with. The classical Pilates method is a lifelong journey that I'm so happy I have found, and Annie is the best guide I could ask for."

"We have been taking Pilates for over 10 years, and Annie is one of the best instructors we’ve ever had. Annie has such a pleasant, kind personality and possesses a high level of expertise. She pays attention to the most minute details and makes sure we do the exercises correctly in a firm but nice way. She makes the class fun and knows how to vary the exercises to keep things interesting week after week in a relaxed environment.
We love practicing Pilates with Annie, as we always feel so much better after class, refreshed, stronger and standing tall with a stronger core. No chronic back problems since taking Pilates!”

"Before starting practicing Pilates with Annie, I was having a hard time fitting this type of core workout into my busy weekly routine, but I’m so glad I made it a priority to schedule this time of self-care for myself to work with Annie. I had always been active but neglected to do this type of workout and I knew that my core was still weak from having two kids. I have been doing semi-private lessons with Annie for about 6 months now, and it is the hour every week I look forward to the most. Annie is very sweet, supportive, and non-judgmental in her approach. I have seen the progress in terms of my strength, endurance in holding difficult poses, and my post-baby waistline, and even my flexibility, which was never my strong suit. The classes are fun and challenging, and equally important, force me to be more present and mindful. I always feel stronger and calmer after our classes, so I really see the benefit of pilates not just for the body, but for the mind as well. I also find myself during the day being more conscious of keeping my core strong, my spine more neutral, and my shoulders back and down, which has helped me improve neck and back tension. Annie is an amazing teacher, coach, and person and can adapt the class for all levels and is very invested in helping each person on their own journey and with their own goals, whether you are very experienced in pilates, or if you have never done it before."

"I began working with Annie in 2019 after my first son was born. I had a c-section and severe diastasis recti, for which I had done extensive physical therapy. Practicing Pilates with Annie using all the equipment helped me build the strength and confidence I needed to make the transition from PT back into strenuous exercise and sports. Annie then helped me stay strong through a second pregnancy, and a second post-baby recovery. At first, the reformer looked very intimidating, but I soon learned that it actually supported my body as I tried new movements to build strength and flexibility. Annie is very knowledgeable, meticulous, and encouraging. She tailors exercises to target my exact weaknesses and it’s amazing how seemingly small adjustments can make such a big difference for pain and functionality. She is always very mindful of my personal experience and limitations, and she balances safety and pushing me further perfectly. I don’t think I would have gotten back to running, skiing, or tennis without her support."
