The greatest compliment I can receive is the recommendation of my students. Adding value to their lives is the most rewarding thing I can imagine, and drives me to constantly improve as a teacher.

I am a Pilates addict and advocate! I was fortunate enough to find Michele & Reach Pilates about seven years ago and have been a devoted student ever since. Michele is an outstanding teacher who is devoted to her students and who has helped me tremendously both physically & mentally! Pilates has reshaped, firmed, and tightened my body, improved my posture, and always puts a smile on my face. I look forward to my sessions with Michele with excitement and am never disappointed.

I was in two rear-end collisions and had constant neck pain when I started doing Pilates at Reach. I worked slowly at first, gaining strength in my core and in my neck. Within six months, I stopped having pain I was able to pick up my son again. I have been very happy and proud of the strength I have since starting Pilates and know that it is one of the best things I can do for my body. Thank you Michele!

I was searching for an exercise program that would help me both physically and mentally. I found my answer at Reach Pilates with Michele and the results show. Not only do I think more clearly, but physically, I no longer suffer from the backaches I lived with for years. Michele takes the time to make sure each exercise is done correctly, and more importantly, she takes time to understand the needs of the individual.

I have struggled with lower back problems my entire life, so when I became pregnant at 38, I was very concerned that my back would not hold up well during the pregnancy. That is when I found Reach Pilates. I started working with Michele in my first trimester. I was able to strengthen my core so that, amazingly, I did not have one day of back pain throughout my pregnancy or in the years since! As a nice bonus, Pilates really helped me whittle down my post-baby belly!

Before I found Reach Pilates I was taking classes at the local gym with 20 other people and never fully understanding what I was really supposed to be doing. At Reach Pilates, Michele not only showed me how to do the movements but took the time to show me how to do them correctly. Since attending classes my clothes fit better and I feel better both mentally and physically. Thanks Michele for making Pilates a great and fun experience for me!

Michele is the BEST! She is kind, caring and so supportive-a natural born teacher. She truly loves what she does and this is reflected in her classes and the way she treats her students. Her extensive knowledge of Pilates and the human body are amazing. Form and technique are so important in Pilates and Michele always ensures that I am performing the exercises correctly so that I get the maximum benefit and am never at risk of injury, Thank you Michele!

Working with Michele at Reach Pilates has transformed my body! I now feel strong and capable and episodes of back pain no longer affect me.

I began working with Michele about five years ago. I was overweight and out of shape. I have lost more than 30 pounds and am in better shape than I have been in years. Michele and Pilates have virtually changed my life.

Michele’s extensive understanding of anatomy and physiology allows her to design a Pilates series specifically for your body’s needs. She teaches you the mechanics of the movements which makes for a deeper understanding of your body’s movement. I had surgery two years ago and I know that without her expertise it would have taken much longer to heal. Together, we have shaped my physical body and added strength that I didn’t have even in my 20s.

My family says my posture, strength and flexibility are that of a much younger woman. I give my eight years at Reach Pilates credit for this. Michele is so knowledgeable and experienced; she knows what is needed to keep you in top form.

Michele has been instrumental in helping me meet my health and fitness goals. Her workouts are customized to each person. She is full of knowledge and expertise. I have taken many other classes from other Pilates studios and there is no comparison. Reach Pilates is the best!

Michele is a true professional and her expertise in Classical Pilates permits her to modify this unique exercise regime to target areas of concern and cater to your personal level of ability. Her individualized approach has helped me to strengthen and tone my body amidst my intense and demanding work schedule. Once you try one of her classes you will be hooked like I am.

I have worked with Michele for more than ten years, and as a Physical Therapist I value her personalized approach to exercise and dedication to lifelong learning. I have not only enjoyed the health benefits of practicing Pilates with her, but I have also gained knowledge from her that I bring to my students and patients.
