When I first moved to the area, I was thrilled to learn that there was a Pilates studio right on Liberty Street. I had done Pilates years before and knew what an amazing workout it could be. Unfortunately, life took it's twists and turns and between age, … More injury, and a sedentary lifestyle, I gained some unwanted weight, and more disturbingly, felt completely weak and out of my body. As a former gymnast, I couldn't even do a cartwheel.
Angela put me at ease right away with her gentle therapeutic approach. I found a safe place, free of judgment, where rebuilding my physical strength and love of self, was supported every step of the way, with a staff that took a wellness partnership approach, a clean welcoming studio that had all of he equipment I needed, and a community of other practitioners who cheered each other on.
Clients here are treated like family and not only will the teacher go out of her way to create a plan tailored to your individual needs, but she consistently checks in and works around any physical limitations you may be experiencing, while conversely working with you to strengthen supportive muscles to those trouble areas.
I am so grateful that I found Angela and APG Pilates. I have ventured out to try other exercise modalities (yoga, running, free weights, white cloud, and aerial work) and none of them have the comprehensive effect on my body that Pilates does. After working with Angela just 2-3 times a week, I experienced a huge transformation. I was fit and strong, looked better than I had in 20 years, and had confidence that my body would not hold me back from living the life I want. For the first time I have a sustainable exercise, that I still look forward to doing. The way, APG teaches Pilates, there are always new challenges and fun things to learn.
