From Julie’s Clients...
I love my Pilates class. Julie is a fantastic instructor who makes the class fun and at the same time is attentive to our technique and makes sure we don’t injure ourselves. I have taken many classes over the years and they usually lasted one or maybe two years. I have been in this Pilates class for over 10 years. The benefits I get both physically and mentally are huge. I am a marathon walker and have noticed how much better I feel after a marathon than I did before taking this Pilates class. I credit Julie for this as I trust her and her experience.
- Karen T.
I look forward to my weekly Pilates classes with Julie, because not only do I get a great workout, but I am able to experience it in a group setting with an attentive teacher and fun atmosphere!
- Jana S.
I have been training with Julie for two and a half years. Julie does an amazing job of tailoring the exercises to fit everyone in the class, taking into consideration our various ailments and health history, by changing springs or positions. She has been totally supportive of my health and fitness goals. I have lost weight, gained muscle and found that doing Pilates makes my other fitness classes more effective. Pilates has strengthened my core and given me the stretch I need to move my body better both in exercise and daily life!

From Jill’s Clients...
Thank you! You are a miracle worker. I’m still walking with no pain. Not sure if I’ll do back class in morning. Hate to take a chance of ruining this good feeling. Thanks again.
- Sharon B.
Ok Jill you solved my sore knee problems! I have been leaning too much on my toes and not on my heels while walking. Better posture and more weight on my heels makes a ginormous difference. Did a slow 3.5 mile walk today slowly and minimal knee pain. Will keep you posted. SWEET!! Thx.
- Linda H.
Jill just wanted you to know that the “folding “ in addition to the other exercises, completely relieved my chronically tight and sore SI joint. Thank You!
Giving you the happy dance!
