I started Pilates 6 weeks after my first child
was born. My arms were weak, my back hurt, and you can only
imagine how stomach was. With in two months, I had muscles back!
Pilates reshaped my entire figure. Not only that, I was able
to run again because of the new strength around my knees and
back. I have not stopped going to On Center since then. I have
had two more children. I worked out until two days before my
second child was born and started back up two weeks after because
my back was hurting again. I worked out until three days before
my third child was born. I missed my last appointment because
I was in labor! I have been faithfully going to On Center for
almost six years - and won't stop! |

I began at On Center Conditioning in 1993, 9 years
ago. As a result of a foot injury while dancing ballet and jazz,
I could not participate fully in either. Frustrated, I was told
about Pilates and gave it a try. I have been here ever since.
Because of time constraints as a mother of three small children
I haven't gotten back to the dance class but Pilates fills all
of my needs for strength, conditioning and good posture. |

Pilates is one of the only fitness programs I've
been able to stick with. I have been coming to On Center Conditioning
for seven years. When I am absent I can't wait to return to
the studio for my physical and mental workout. My posture has
greatly improved. My flexibility and strength are improving
continuously.
I used to have frequent lower back problems and in the past
three years they have become less frequent which I can contribute
to more abdominal strength.
I continued Pilates during my last pregnancy at he age of 42
and it was the easiest and quickest out of four babies.
I believe in Pilates as a way of living. |

The staff at On Center Conditioning has always
been very helpful in adapting Pilates exercises to accommodate
restrictions which I have as a result of rheumatoid arthritis.
Following shoulder surgery, they took extra care to assist me
when my range of motion. When the exercises I could safely perform
were severely limited, they were creative in coming up with
exercises I could do safely to minimize the loss of core strength
during this period. Rael and his staff worked in concert with
my physical therapist to gradually introduce specific exercises
to help me stabilize the shoulder girdle and scapula, to improve
my posture, to improve the range of motion in my shoulder, and
to gradually strengthen it without aggravating the inflammation.
I have been practicing Pilates for almost four years and I feel
that it has helped me to minimize the loss of mobility and function
which rheumatoid arthritis. |

I had a chronic back problem for about fifteen
years prior to coming to Pilates. In three years of Pilates
the back problem has never returned, thanks, I think, to the
focus on ab work and balanced training. |

I have been doing Pilates for almost five years.
In July of 2001, I was in a serious car accident with back,
shoulder, and knee injuries. Thanks to the individualized rehab
program developed for me by the instructors, I am better able
to resume many of my former activities. Pilates at On Center
Conditioning is the best!!! |
