Relief for Fibromyalgia:
"I can't tell you how thankful I am to have Pilates. It's the only form of exercise that I can do even when everything's aching. It seems anything else puts too much pressure on my joints. Pilates is so non-impact yet I still feel like I'm getting a great workout. That being said, I feel like slowly but surely my joints are getting better and my pains less (thanks largely to you two and teaching me pilates!)."

I had back problems and they worked with me to get my strength back. I love these group mat classes and enjoy meeting other people. I tried working out alone, but the group helps me to stay motivated. Even though its a group setting, they still manage to give everyone individual attention. Now I'm addicted to Pilates.
