I really didn't know what to expect when I met with Katrina last year for her to evaluate my legs and hips after both of my hips had been replaced two years ago. She knew exactly what exercises I  needed to rebuild my strength and balance. The pilate exercise equipment has given my back support so that I have been pain  free during all of the training. In the small group I attend, there is a mixture of  ages and abilities, and each of us works on our own set of exercises under Katrina's direction. She couldn't be kinder. Even though there are pilates studies closer to me in Westfield, it is worth it to drive to Hadley for the excellent training I experience there.

I realize how therapeutic the movements on the reformer are for regaining core strength in my aging body. Also, the studio is spacious enough for me to feel comfortable. Lastly, the instructor, Libby, was very encouraging!
