"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness."

"A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion."

"Moreover, such a body freed from nervous tension and over-fatigue is the ideal shelter provided by nature for housing a well-balanced mind that is always fully capable of successfully meeting all of the complex problems of modern living." -Joseph H. Pilates

Practicing Pilates with Lisa Stevens has not only made me stronger, longer and leaner, but has also inspired me in other aspects of my life.  I have been a client of Lisa's for over a year and my body is changing in all of the right places.  Lisa has helped me to understand Pilates, the process and also encouraged me concentrate on the strength of my core which has led to better posture and confidence.

I heard about Pilates prior to beginning with Lisa two years ago, but didn't know too much and was curious to learn more.  Pilates is a great addition to my workout regimen as it emphasizes core strength through a variety of exercises.  Pilates can be challenging, but well worth it and Lisa is a great instructor.  Her patience, professionalism and positive spirit are great compliments to her teaching style.  She is very knowledgeable and makes each session safe and enjoyable.  Sessions with Lisa have helped me with my flexibility along with strength.  She is creative, challenging and energizes me through each workout. I would highly recommend Pilates to anyone interested in improving their health.  Thank you Lisa!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so exercise is a critical part of my life.  I started working out with Lisa about 3 years ago to relieve my pain.  I'm now addicted and can't stop . Lisa is extremely well educated on how the body works and if I can't do an exercise one way, she is always created enough to find a solution so I can do the exercise and receive the benefit.

-Amy Van Gelder

Training with Lisa has been just short of a miracle for me. For the first time in my life I feel connected to my body and know how to control it. Everything is better training with Lisa - better posture ( no more shoulders slumping forward ) , better flexibility, better ab strength, and best of all no more knee pain going up and down the stairs. Lisa really knows how to fine tune your body.
-Cheryl Pocus

I have taken Lisa's Pilates mat class for more than a year and over the past few months have joined her Pilates Reformer class. I thoroughly enjoy Lisa's class and I try to attend 3-4 times per week. Through her instruction I take something new from class each time. Lisa loves what she does and it shows. When I leave her class I feel calm and relaxed which helps me deal with the stresses of everyday life. I am grateful to Lisa for sharing her love of Pilates.
