“I have worked out at Geometry for the past three years… I now have firm arms… and I am two sizes smaller in pants and skirts WITHOUT dropping more than a couple of pounds. Friends and relatives always ask me if I've been dieting, but no, I work out 2x a week at Geometry. What is the difference or why is Geometry such a great place to work out? The instructors are well trained. They are able to adapt your workout to you… They are very good at accommodating your schedule and needs as much as possible. They really focus not only on the basics but on how you can improve what you are doing to maximize your workout.”

“The week before my son’s first birthday I was sitting in my office chair and suddenly I had back pain that was incredible. I could not stand nor walk… I missed two days of work because I could not move.  My doctor gave me pain pills, and said I simply needed to do more exercise. I began Pilates and within a year I had gained back my flexibility and some of the pain had eased so that I could at least sleep through most of the night. However I travel a great deal for work and I found that each time I was out of town I was back in pain again.

Then I switched to Geometry…. the new instructor took me back to the beginning of my work out. She said that while I was doing the exercises I really needed to focus more on my core and take the work out of my back. She also spent a lot of time teaching me how to stretch at home and improve my at home workout.

I take a private once a week (when I’m in town) and I work out at home. And since I switched to Geometry I am pain free at night. It is great to get a good night’s sleep. I try to stretch each night using the exercises I’ve been taught. I’m also amazed because I continue to get insights on how to change my routine and improve upon it. What is great is not only am I more flexible, but I’m stronger and toned. I think it is a great exercise routine and a good basis for other activities such as running, bicycling, skiing, and swimming.”

“Although I lost my leg to amputation last year, I continue to work out with Alicia. The strength, balance and flexibility I have gained with Pilates training have made it possible for me to continue teaching and doing all the things I love to do. Alicia has been very creative at adapting Pilates exercises to meet my needs. The variations seem endless. I recommend Pilates to everyone who would like to be stronger, more flexible, have better balance and easier movement. It has worked for me with my less than perfect body and is sure to work for you, too, no matter what shape you are in when you start.”

“This place is AWESOME!! I have tried physical therapy, yoga, weights, chiropractic – you name it – and nothing, nothing, I mean absolutely NOTHING gave me relief of lower back pain and chronic upper shoulder/neck strain like this. Alicia is great: she targets your sore spots with specific stretching and strengthening techniques and within three weeks, I was feeling better than I had in my twenties (more than just a few years ago). Don't stop with the Pilates – the Gyrotonic is my all-time favorite. I swear that it reverses those knarly tied up knots deep in the shoulders and necks… I swear this is the fountain of youth. Don't delay – give it a try. You won't regret it.”
