"Pilates with Pippa is what I look forward to all week. After years of lifting weights at the gym and heavy cardio workouts, my body decided that routine just wasn't working anymore. I started looking for other ways to be healthy, fit and feel good. I found Pippa and from our first meeting, it was the place to be.
She kindly showed me how to move my body to improve fitness, my core, and overall health for years to come. Pippa is attentive 100% of the time. She doesn't look away or check her phone during our session. She is constantly watching to make sure you're using the right muscles and correct form. Plus, Pippa is a joy to be around! Who could ask for more? The best investment I've made for overall health and fitness." -Mary |

How often do I need to come in for Lessons?
That really depends on several factors. In order to get sense of progress momentum, I suggest a minimum of 1 private lesson and 1 group class or video a week. But, I am happy to work with clients on figuring out what consistently works with their busy lives.
How are private sessions different than a group class?
When you work with me one on one, we get to focus on your body and customize each session.You don’t have to remember any of your modifications, and each correction is just for you. This is the optimal way to make quick and substantial changes to the way you move and how you feel.
In group classes, you’re still learning from me directly but the corrections and the exercises or stretches are more general & for everyone in the class. It’s still a safe lesson, but you will need to be personally responsible for modifying and adapting for your body.

Is it safe to do this if I’m under my doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor’s care?
Yes! Especially if you bring specific information about your diagnosis, current treatment, and any protocols or recommendations your other caregivers can provide. I’m also happy to communicate directly with them if you give and document consent.
I have a specific issue, injury, or physical limitation. Can you help me?
Pilates can support healthy modifications for a wide variety of special populations such as (but not limited to) low back pain, joint replacements, pelvic floor dysfunction, neurological conditions, all stages of pregnancy, osteoporosis, chronic pain, cancer, and scoliosis.
Pilates, especially on the apparatus, can create a safe, smooth transition from an injury or painful issue back into regular activity. It allows you to experience a positive movement experience (it feels good and you are successful doing it) which can make all the difference in how you approach exercise once you have “healed” from the initial issue. Many injuries are chronic or a result of a repetitive stress, we can isolate and re-train that pattern to prevent it from reoccurring.

I’ve never been “in shape,” will this help or am I a lost cause?
Pilates can be adjusted and adapted to help improve any “shape” or any level of fitness. Depending on what you have going on, it may be wise to start in the studio on the machines in order to help build confidence as well as strength, balance, and mobility.
I feel out of place and intimidated at the gym or in a bigger studio, how is this different?
When you work with me one on one, there’s no one else in the room! I work out of a small private studio, where no one can see in the windows or through the door. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable and confident, not judged or intimidated.
How do I access a Virtual Session?
You can choose to use a phone, tablet, or computer to access your virtual session. When you book your session, the zoom link will be included in your confirmation and reminders. All you have to do is get your self and your space set up then click on the link!
Can I use my hsa or fsa funds to pay for this service?
Great news if you have an FSA or HSA: you may be able to get reimbursed for Pilates and Stretch Therapy.
