What Participants Say

  • "I was nervous to try Pilates, but the chair version made it so much easier than on the mat. I don’t feel ashamed to join group classes anymore."

    Laurie, 72 years old

  • "With gentle chair Pilates, I’m actually using my hand and arm muscles for the first time in over 20 years. I never thought I could rebuild that strength again!"

    Anna, 88 years old
