Pilates Emporium was recommended

 We enjoy an active lifestyle, Biking, motorcycling, skiing, sailing, running and Pilates. We attend different classes for the most part and feel that Pilates helps us to keep our joints moving and our muscles strong . Mim and Richard 

I had a bad car accident that resulted in an array of injuries leading to multiple surgeries on both legs and two years off work.  The fact that people remark at how well I’ve recovered is, to a very great degree, the result of my sessions with Barb, Jen and Ellen.  They are skilled and patient practitioners who identified the particular needs of every client and provides personalized services that address each one’s particular issues.

I started with Pilates Emporium in the Spring of 2018 to help strengthen and improve my posture. Right away Barb was able to identify my problem areas. Within the first month I had reduced discomfort and pain in areas I had been having for years.

It was a history I had with herniation of discs in my back that had weakened me. With Barb's guidance and expertise I can say I have doubled the stamina I have in a day.  

Her classes are achievable and the support from the other members at the Studio is encouraging. 

Highly recommended.

It was recommended that I try out Pilates Emporium to help get stronger in a gentle way after surgery.  It has helped in my healing process in many ways and would not hesitate to recommend Pilates Emporium.  So grateful for that suggestion. M.C.

 I experienced my first session at Pilates Emporium in August 2018. 

My intent was to help strengthen my core after an abdominal surgery. What I have since experienced, has been transformative. I began with Physio-Pilates sessions.  I have attended classes now for 5 years, 3 times a week at the Intermediate Level. To date my core has strengthened and continues with every session. An added bonus was correcting body mechanic issues that I had  for years and expected to live with.  I now have pain relief and a greater mobility, that I had never thought possible. 
Fully expecting that Pilates would be a means to an end in my recovery, I now  know that Pilates will be a constant in my weekly routine. 
Thanks to Pilates Emporium, I feel stronger, more flexible and definitely more energized.

   Together with my friend Cindy I began participating at Pilates Emporium in early 2010.  It wasn't too long before I was enrolled in a class 5 days a week.  It has become how I start each day.  I can truly say that despite the fact that I do a class 5 days a week and have done so for almost nine years Barb ( and more recently Ellen) makes each class unique...always equipped with new ideas and always very aware of each members injuries or physical limitations.  Not only does my physical self benefit from attending Pilates Emporium, but socially it has almost become my "Cheers Bar"!!  Thank you Pilates Emporium!!  Mim P. 

   I originally joined, about a year and a half ago, because I had retired to Niagara-on-the-Lake, had never enjoyed exercising before, but knew that the secret to healthful aging was keeping my joints moving!!  Pilates Emporium's Instructors have the most incredible knowledge of human anatomy and movement. I have safely become stronger and more flexible than ever before.  More importantly, I love exercising!  I can't believe I can say that.  Now my husband, a master cyclist with the St.Catharine's Cycling Club, has also joined to maintain flexibility and core strength needed to stay competitive. The classes are so safe and so much fun, an hour passes by in the blink of an eye!  We are so glad we joined!

  I have been at Pilates Emporium almost from the beginning. I arrived with a torn meniscus in my knee and arthritis. Attending Pilates 3 times a week has helped me to stay strong and deal with the arthritis, especially as other forms of exercise like running and walking long distances became too difficult. The Instructor's energy and skill at leading Pilates classes is an amazement to me. Even though I attend so often, I am never bored. I am very thankful that Pilates Emporium is part of my life.
