"
As someone who thrives on group classes and lifting heavy at the gym, I was skeptical about doing Pilates privates at first. But, after working with Christie, I’m totally sold on incorporating private Pilates into my routine. Christie is an amazing teacher who works with you to make each workout challenging. As someone who loves an intense spin class or lifting session, I was nervous Pilates would feel too easy but, Christie makes each workout different, I leave the session feeling stronger in my core and stabilizing muscles. I’ve found that it’s the perfect balance with lifting. I’d highly recommend Christie as a Pilates teacher. She is very experienced , knowledgeable, and an all around great person to be around. Do yourself a favor and RUN don’t walk to a Pilates session with Christie.”

After working privately with Christie twice a week for over a year, I can confidently recommend her to anyone looking to increase their flexibility, balance, and core strength. She is able to effectively use her knowledge of the Pilates Mat and Apparatus to build a challenging, customized workout. Although I see her twice a week, I never get bored as every workout is different from the last. She is efficient with our one hour session making this a great workout option for anyone short on time.”
