From Clients

After my first month of pilates I was able to shovel snow from the 30 plus inches we had on the ground with no back pain. ~ Diane, Mechanicsburg, PA

I walk out of the studio feeling taller and stronger after every session. I just feel better for the remainder of my day. Every session motivates me to get more exercise every day. ~ Marilyn M, Carlisle, PA

Pilates helped me lose those last inches for my wedding day, and my shoulders and back would have never looked so good in my white strapless gown without Pilates. It was great to also have the scheduled time away from hectic wedding planning to exercise, time just for me! The added bonus was my husband enjoyed the results and wanted me to do more pilates sessions.
I continue to take lessons twice a week. ~ Stacy N, Mechanicsburg, PA

Allison is an experienced pilates instructor who created a Pilates routine for me that was mindful of my changing medical conditions. ~ Stacey M, Harrisburg, PA

Absolute Pilates has been a great help toward helping me achieve my fitness goals.  I learn something new every time I have a lesson. Allison is great at explaining the exercises and also at showing what they look like for people like me who are visual learners. I went into pilates thinking how hard can this be? The mat videos I had seen did not look all that hard. I did not know that there were pieces of equipment involved (chair, reformer and cadillac). After I had my first chair class I thought… this is different than I thought it would be I am going to stick with it to see what it will do for me. I have been taking lessons for almost a year I have noticed a difference in my back and stomach. My posture has improved.  I have not had back pain as often since starting pilates.  It is great for anyone that has back issues and I would recommend it. ~ Shelly M, Duncannon, PA

My size 6 bridesmaid dress finally arrived.  I slipped it over my head, zipped the back, and walked out of the room to show my mother and sister.  The horror struck look on their faces said it all until, in unison, they both said, “Just loose five pounds.” I’ve always been athletic but haven’t made it a priority since high school, and now that I work full time it’s just an after thought.  Allison told me about the Joe Pilates quote, “In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in twenty sessions you will see the difference, in thirty sessions you will have a whole new body.” I want to give pilates a try. I realized that I felt better about myself and had the urge to start exercising more in three sessions. In seven sessions I notice a new muscle in my arm. I think I have a new pilates quote going here. I felt good from the inside out for my sisters wedding! Read more about Emily’s Journey here. ~ Emily T, Harrisburg, PA

I love that I have been able to do pilates with my teenage daughter. It gives us something healthy and active to do together. My daughter feels that it has helped her soccer play as well. ~ Kim R

Allison’s equipment is top-notch and so is her enthusiasm for the practice of Pilates. After practicing in 3 other large studios over the last 3 years, I could not believe the value in the private lessons offered here. You cannot compare a “Pilates” class in a gym with dozens of other students and an instructor who learned from a video to receiving the personal attention and feedback from a trained instructor. She creates a no-pressure environment but still pushes you to learn the exercises the right way. The hour long session really flies by! ~ Kathryn S, Carlisle, PA

After just over 20 session I could see a clear change in her waist. To complement those results I was at a concert a few weeks back and I noticed as I was clapping over my head that my arms are more tone these days. There is some truth to the Joe Pilates Quote that in ten sessions you will see the difference, in twenty session you can feel the difference, and in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body. ~ Suzanne B, Mechanicsburg, PA
