"Powerhouse Pilates is the reason I am so fit and healthy today. At a time in my life, when my stress and anxiety were at an all-time high, I tried Pilates for the first time to regain my confidence. I attended a few classes at powerhouse Pilates which were so fun and inspiring, that it opened the door for a really important lifestyle change. I now have an enduring habit of Pilates and fitness training that I can confidently say will carry me into my 40s 50s and beyond with the strength and health that I need to thrive"
"I’ve been doing Pilates with Powerhouse for 10 years. I have always worked out but doing Pilates has changed my body more than anything. Besides changing my physical abilities it has helped me with balance and flexibility. Powerhouse has the best instructors, their kind, they’re helpful and they’re knowledgeable. They really care about their clients. I have met so many of my friends at Powerhouse. It really is a community! It is also affordable which is very important to me. ❤️💪🏼🙏"🏻
"The team at Powerhouse Pilates keeps me fit and strong and I feel it every day, especially when I play other sports. They make it fun but hard because if it’s not hard, it’s not Pilates…or ss they tell me! At 60 plus, it’s super important to maintain strength and balance and Powerhouse does the trick! Love all the smiles when I arrive and the friends I’ve made there."
