Valerie does an amazing job at going into the details of each movement that you should be feeling along with the correct ways of doing each exercise. I have never slowed my exercises down enough to know exactly how to get the biggest impact from them and with Valerie's direction I finally do! Her studio is decorated awesome - so homey and inviting but you know you are there to get a serious work out!
I always joke about this but it is so true that you’re literally exhausted after laying on the floor for an hour. I am not a coordinated person but even I can tell that I have gotten stronger in my core and Pilates helps with coordination for any age.
I was always afraid of doing Pilates and figured it would just be boring and slow but I now realize that you cannot properly do any work out or any sport without the influence of Pilates. The coordination, technique, and movements that you learn just make you stronger with any other work out or sport. Even my husband who is a work out guru tried Pilates and was just blown away at how in depth but rewarding it was.
Valerie adds another great convenience to her select classes: My child take a class in the classroom next door and the schedule allows me to drop my child off at class, my Pilates class start 5 minutes later, and ends just before it is time to get my child from his class. I get to do my workout too instead a waiting on his class for an hour and I'm in the same building!
I encourage anyone to try Valerie's VIP Pilates out and you too will be surprised at how great of a workout it is that you can use in so many aspects...
   Read moreThree years ago, I found VIP Pilates when my daughter was taking classes at Dana’s Studio of Dance. VIP Pilates was just opening at the time, so I was one of the first clients and have been there ever since! I have never been particularly athletic and always had trouble finding a work-out routine I can stick with. Well, Pilates became my workout! Valerie meets you at your level, and even in a group class manages to work with you individually to make sure you are getting the most out of your workout. I appreciate that the classes are small enough that you get individual attention. It feels like a family at VIP!
Classes with Jennifer are amazing too. Her Chair and Reformer classes are great and I appreciate how she weaves in some “feel good” stretches throughout the class that really help me counter what my body is going through on a day to day basis.
A year ago I also discovered Yin Yoga with Lana, and this is also now a part of my weekly workout routine. I’ve even started incorporating some of the poses at home because not only do they feel good, but the practice has really made me understand my body more and I’m more in tune with it. Lana is wonderful to work with, she is passionate about the practice and that passion is contagious.
I highly recommend VIP Pilates, you will be...
   Read moreI have always been very much into Pilates for several years now. It has helped me tremendously with my pains, back issues ,posture and to have a great lean physique. I have been to several Pilates studios, independently owned,franchise and a few studios overseas, however, I wanted to step it up to next level of pure, true and quality Pilates. After doing research, I found Pilates VIP. It was everything and more then I wanted! Valarie is the most experienced and qualified Pilates instructor I have ever met hands down! She is gentle, amazing with anatomy and has he best Pilates classes. She will take her time to correct you and challenge you in the most perfect way. Like I mentioned before, I have been to several studios before, but I noticed the most difference physically and with my health with Valarie. I can actually see my abs and my physique looks very lean and toned! But the most importantly, Valarie has a very welcoming, and family oriented atmosphere in her studio which will make you feel super comfortable and almost like you’re at home. I couldn’t recommend Pilates VIP anymore! Thank you soo, soo much Valarie for giving me a better quality of life, physically...
