I am in my sixties and typically walk for exercise. Four months ago, I decided I need to boost my energy level and strengthen my arm, leg, and core muscles. A close friend of mine suggested taking Pilates classes with Cathy, and, without knowing anything about this form of workout, I did. I simply took a leap of faith and made a commitment to my overall health and spinal column (I have Scoliosis). Cathy is wonderful to work with. It’s obvious she has an in-depth knowledge of all things related to health, and her teaching methods are gentle, persistent, and effective. The studio is very professional and the equipment is varied and top-notch. Cathy also goes over lots of exercises to do at home, throughout the week, so that you can keep building up your strength between sessions. What I love about Pilates is the small, yet powerful, movements in each exercise (there are hundreds and hundreds of possibilities), and the intrinsic awareness you develop of your body and small muscle groups. You align and stretch and lift and push and pull during each session - nothing hurts, but you work very hard - and it feels amazing. You will notice a difference in your daily life and actually look forward to working out. I sleep great at night on the days I do Pilates. To anyone considering taking control of their general health, and feeling stronger within a very short time, I recommend checking out Pilates of Woodstock and booking a session with Cathy. Whoever you are, you are absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend Pilates of Woodstock! I have been going twice a week for several months, and look forward to my sessions with Cathy. She is very knowledgeable, and is truly concerned with her client's welfare. In addition, she is very patient and encouraging. Her cozy studio is well-equipped, comfortable and inspiring. Her instruction is always specific, clear and helpful. If you are interested, she will offer "homework" designed for your needs. Since working with Cathy, I have noticed a lot more strength in my core and my balance is certainly improving. If you are interested in Pilates, try a session with Cathy! She is an excellent teacher and coach.
Both my husband & I have been clients of Cathy's for 1 1/2 yrs. My husband had such a stiff spine, that he had problems getting his golf ball out of the hole without kneeling down. Now, it's no problem at all for him. He tells all his friends how his flexibility and range of motion have improved tremendously. My aches and pains (mostly in my right hip & lower back) came from years in the medical field on my feet all day. Cathy can zone in where your problems are & mine have faded away. An added plus is my energy level has definitely increased. . About 9 mos ago, Cathy guided both my husband & me on healthy eating lifestyles changes....nothing dramatic. Over this time, I have lost over 25 lbs. It was steady and I've been keeping it off, which shows it's a lifetime change in eating, not a diet. Cathy is focused and she customizes each individual to her/his personal needs & areas of concern. I recommend her to all my friends who have seen a difference in both my husband & my appearance & energy.
I’ve been going to Cathy’s twice a week for the past year and will continue to do so. I’m male, 69 years old. We work principally on balance, strength building, and conditioning. She’s a master at what she does. Her work is tailored to each individual client. I’ve learned much about how to keep myself healthy and in good shape under her direction. I highly recommend her to anyone. In fact, I have. Four of my family members have also worked with her to their benefit.
I have been participating in Cathy’s private Pilates sessions for almost three years and both she and I have noticed improvements in my strength, balance, and range of motion. At the beginning of my Pilates sessions I was unable to keep my legs in the “table” position without a certain muscle in my lower back/upper hip giving me problems, so for many months in order to alleviate the stress on this muscle, Cathy modified my leg position. Then one day we tried my legs in the proper table position again and I have never felt the pain that I previously had. This is because of the exercises and stretches that I have done under her guidance which demonstrates the power of Pilates as being a whole body conditioning program. I would recommend a Pilates personal trainer because each body is unique with its own needs and limitations. Cathy knows bodies – inside and out, and knows exactly what a person needs to work on and knows which exercises and stretches would benefit each individual. She also suggests exercises and stretches to do at home to further improve one’s personal fitness. Having Cathy as my Pilates personal trainer is an investment in me and my ability to continue being an active and healthy person. Sylvia A.
I have been doing Pilates with Cathy for a few months now. I love coming to the studio and the hour always flys by. Cathy is very knowledgeable and I have learned a lot about my own body. Whether you want to target specific issues unique to your condition or you are looking for general strengthening and flexibility, I think pilates is a great way to exercise! The studio is welcoming, the equipment is new and in perfect condition and Cathy is always willing to go the extra mile.
Best Pilates studio in the area! Cathy is very knowledgeable.
