Pilatas Of New Paltz

I'm 43. I never knew what Pilates even was until this year and I'm so glad to have learned it at Pilates of New Paltz. An excellent form of exercise for my overweight, out of shape body. The instructors seem to have an incredible sense of how each person's body can perform. Even in a group class, each person is attended to and excersises will be modified for each individual.

They build your confidence and then you push yourself a little harder and it pays off. It's been just over six months, I feel stronger, more flexible, i lost twenty pounds and I don't have nearly as much daily physical aches and pains. Highly recommend,

I've been going to Pilates of New Paltz off and on for several years. I've had a variety of instructors, including Elise the owner. This is a small personalized studio, where classes are never bigger than 6 people. The workouts are excellent, I always feel stronger yet relaxed and accomplished after every class. Very highly recommended.

I am new to Pilates - about 2 months now - and can definitely feel the difference. The instructors are very patient, while at the same time, make sure I am doing things correctly. I recommend Pilates of New Paltz to everyone that will listen.

I can't go a week without my mat class at Pilates of New Paltz. It keeps me grounded, fit, and feeling limber. I love all of the teachers at this studio; they are grounded in traditional Pilates technique, and truly care about the students. They tailor the classes to our needs and let each of us work at our own place, never letting anyone feel bad if they cannot do an exercise to its full extent. Pilates of New Paltz is a no frills, comfortable studio in a beautiful old Victorian house. Unlike other studios, there is no pop music playing during class to divert one's attention from the important work at hand. I highly recommend Pilates of New Paltz!

I have been going to this pilates studio for the past year. My instructor ("Freeze") is wonderful - great workout and great sense of humor. I have physical limitations which he takes into account and helps me work around them. I would recommend Pilates of New Paltz without reservation.

I can't recommend Pilates and Pilates of New Paltz highly enough. I started Pilates as a therapy to recover from lower back surgery. I'd always thought of it as "conspicuous consumption" for rich women. I coudn't have been more wrong. I've done a lot of weight lifting and stretching over the years. I started taking private classes with Martina, and this woman really understands the body in and out.

I come out of there completely exhausted sometimes, with exercise that look, from the outside, very mild. I've been learning all the little tweaks to stretching that make it truly effective. I've been building my core and finding all the places that my body has maladapted to life. Sometimes it is simple stuff that should be obvious - like how to walk and how to breathe.

Other times I'll come in with some particular pain and she smooths it out. My wife now comes with me, and the effect are truly life changing. Because of my surgery and pain, I feel as if I've aged a lot in the last few years. Pilates is going to help me age gracefully. Thank you!

Everyone should do this for their bodies especislly as we age. Gives me great flexibility and mobility which i would not have without doing pilates. Had hip replacement and other major surgeries from which I had speedy recoveries that i attribute to pilates. The teachers r wonderful and always diligent about each persons body limits and current state of health.

Give it a try. It will change your life. This is the first and only review i have ever written. For point of reference i am 70. This is the only form of exercise i have ever stuck with and after 20+ years still look forward to each and every class. Ruth L

I have been taking Pilates classes at Pilates of New Paltz twice a week since 2002. I hate to miss class. I feel I have gained strength, flexibility, and good posture from faithful attendance at Pilates. Elaine Hay has been my teacher the whole time, and she is awesome. She is very knowledgeable and always modifies her instruction for any physical problems I may be having on any given day.
