“(I decided to try Pilates after) suffering through low back pain, shoulder pain and the regular aches and pains of getting older. I haven’t looked back in the last year and a half. The biggest challenge was trying to get this old body to work the way she pushes me. When I walk out of my session with Jana I am thoroughly invigorated, and my body is slowly gaining back the strength lost to inactivity. Candidly, I was surprised how weak my core was, particularly because I exercise 4 – 5 days a week with cardio: swimming, cycling and running. Jana is a breath of fresh air every week with her positive attitude, her full knowledge of Pilates and her ability gently coax when needed.” – Paul, 52, Real Estate Developer

“I started Pilates at the encouragement of my daughter. Sports are not my game but walking has always been a lifelong pleasure. After bilateral knee replacements and a corrective surgery, walking remained a must but had become painful. As an administrative assistant, my mind is active and challenged but my body is sedentary for 6-7 hours of my 8 hour workday. Jana patiently worked with me to strengthen not only muscles that support my knees but also about core muscles and how to properly realign them. I now have ease and confidence in my ability to walk with purpose and joy!” – Gloria, 63, College Administrative Assistant

“As a long-time golfer I’ve suffered with chronic lower back pain for over a decade. Coupled with some earlier sports-related joint injuries, I was relying on medication to get through a weekend of golf. Pilates has definitely increased my core strength and overall flexibility – to the point where most weekends I don’t feel any back pain or fatigue. Awesome results for me.

“And let me tell you – sessions with Jana are a REAL workout…you’ll be perspiring! Give it a shot – it’s worth the try to start feeling better.” – Doug, 54, Civil Servant and Avid Golfer

“I started training with Jana shortly before I became pregnant with my first child. She trained me all through my pregnancy – I had to cancel class because of my delivery! She modified exercises as necessary to help me keep my strength up. I’m convinced that the work she did with me aided significantly in a quick recovery from my c-section.

Now we are back at it, rebuilding my strength and flexibility after my mandated six weeks post surgery recovery – with baby in tow! I’ve practiced Pilates in many different places with several wonderful instructors, but none have had the flexibility, desire to teach to my needs, and encouragement that Jana has shown.” – Ana, 36, Avid Runner and New Mom
