Testimonials

“…Two years ago I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and was put in a back brace. The doctors recommended several different types of exercise to help lessen my curve. On that list was Pilates, so I began my search for a studio that could cater to my back and lifestyle. That’s when I found Purifying Pilates. The trainers knew exactly what I was going through and almost always know how to straighten me out. After every session I feel taller, straighter and in balance. Because Pilates focuses on the core muscles, I and my parents have noticed a definite improvement in my back…”

“…Three months ago when I walked into the studio I had just gone through major back surgery, including Laminectomy, Discectomy and Sequestrectomy, all at one time. This is all a lot of fancy lingo for not being able to lift either foot high enough to walk stairs and having loss of feeling in my legs from nerve damage after the operation. Thanks to Rene I am pain free and walking stairs with ease…”

"Physical therapy for poor posture aggaravated an old back injury, and I was in constant pain. The therapist suggested Pilates, and the results are truly amazing. Rene Morlaes' expertise in adapting Pilates to my needs has eliminated my pain , and I can once again swing a golf club. And friends actually say I look taller!"

"I started at Purifying Pilates with a group Reformer Class and supplemented private sessions in between. Rene immediately recognized the struggles I had with certain moves and gently encouraged and educated me without being imaptient, pretentious or over-the-top. A great teacher aligns themselves with their client's needs, weaknesses AND strengths.

I have never felt like I've been in better hands. Her knowledge and ability to train using encouraging and positive language has motivated me to continue my work with her. I've made great gains and awareness of my muscles and their uses. "

" I have worked with Rene for 5 months. I have been extremely pleased with my progress.

I had back surgery a year ago and was experiencing a lot of discomfort due to recovery and poor posture. Since working with Rene, my stomach muscles have strengthened significantly which has resulted in an improvement in my posture and shape (specifically my stomach).

Additionally, Rene is wonderful to work with. She took the time to get to know me

and my needs and tailored a workout to address those needs. I recommend her highly."

" Working with Rene has made all the difference. After years of body conditioning classes

and yoga, I finally turned to private Pilates lessons and have been delighted with the results. It takes a fraction of the time and the results have been amazing. "
