When I initially talk to people about Pilates there is usually two responses: 1. They have no clue as to what Pilates is or 2. They have some sort of an idea but are a little afraid to start.
So, when a new student, Felicia, expressed interest in trying out Pilates, I thought it would be great to feature her in a “Client Spotlight” post to get her perspective on taking a Pilates private session with me. So, introducing Felicia…

WHY WERE YOU INTERESTED IN TRYING PILATES?
I was interested in Pilates because I have heard it’s very different from Yoga. I had heard that there are Pilates people and there are Yoga people! Now, I can say that I am gladly a Pilates AND Yoga person. With Pilates I felt that each movement was safe and worked muscles in a different way than I was used to from my Yoga practice. I am looking forward to adding the benefits of Pilates to my weekly routine.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE PILATES TO A FRIEND OR COWORKER WHO WASN’T FAMILIAR WITH IT?
I have already started telling my friends that Pilates is an incredible, safe work out and the time flew by as I learned each new step and exercise.
HOW DID YOUR FIRST SESSION GO? HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER YOUR FIRST CLASS?
My first lesson was great. Chris shared his knowledge of Pilates and the human anatomy throughout the session. Chis would make modifications to movements depending on what my body needed and this really helped me appreciate what Pilates had to offer.
WHAT DID YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR PILATES LESSON?
My favorite part of the Pilates lesson was how Chris tailored the entire lesson to what I needed and how my body responded to each movement while keeping my work out on track.
