WE WELCOME OUR JANUARY SPOTLIGHT MEMBERS!

She started her Pilates journey way back in 2010 and loved it so much she wanted to become Miss Pilates!

When her parents became ill, she had to stop her Pilates to care for them, but with the encouragement of her friend, Mary Pixler, she began her Pilates journey again with us.

Here is what Georganna feels she has gained!

I have increased my overall stamina in performing everyday activities. I no longer load up the bottom of my stairs with stuff to take up, I now walk up and down the stairs throughout the day without getting out of breath. This is a big deal for me!

My back no longer gets sore during prolonged activities and I am so much stronger! I was recently shopping for wine and a gentlemen was helping me with my choices. I leaned past him and grabbed a bottle with each hand and exclaimed, “See that! I could not have done that if I did not take  pilates!” I was so proud of myself. I won’t deny that it makes me quite proud when friends tell me how much better I am carrying myself.

I don’t have a favorite exercise, but i love to stretch! My goal is to raise my legs straight up into the air with my knees straight and hold them there!

WE ARE ALSO SO PROUD OF YOU GEORGANNA!

Cathy is a competitive ballroom dancer. and she started her Pilates journey 10 years ago! Since joining us in 2020, she has felt her stronger, more fit, and better balanced which she attributes to her success as a dancer!

Here is what Cathy feels she has gained!

 I am 71 years young and a competitive ballroom dancer.  So I need to stay fit, strong and balanced.  There are three other women at my dance studio all younger who all have private workout fitness trainers.  When covid restrictions were lifted all of these women started working out more and as a result all of them had injuries that have necessitated them dropping out of some competitions.  Not me.  I am still going strong thanks to my pilates instructor.  She is so in tune to what my body needs and pays attention to all my small aches and pains taking care that I continue to get stronger.  This has been done with gentle yet firm encouragement.  For this fact and that I am still at 71 able to dance competitively is remarkable.  I feel very fortunate and blessed to have found Heather.

You are amazing Cathy!
