Our private training rooms give you the ability to focus with zero distractions.

Pilates Boston staff has worked with a variety of issues including pregnancy, osteoporosis, hip replacement, frozen shoulder, car accidents, plantar fasciitis, breast cancer, knee injuries, ankle injuries, bone spurs, etc. We do not, however, cross the line. We know when to take over from the medical professionals and it is when they give us their blessing by providing you with a medical note to exercise again. If they have any restrictions we adhere to them. For instance, it is common to request that people with hip replacement not lift their thigh bone more than 90 degrees or to have their leg cross the mid-line of their body for some period of time until their doctor deems it O.K. We follow those guidelines and still give our clients a great workout and help them on the road to recovery.
Our philosophy is to stress working to the best ability for that day, to gently nudge our clients along with their recovery, and to help them find muscular and emotional balance as they take their lives off hold and go back into the swing of daily life. Chances are your body was protecting itself during the injury and recovery stages. Usually that means that you’ve developed some muscular imbalances (don’t worry, everyone has them) and we help you to get better balanced.

In 1998, Lisa discovered Pilates and has been smitten ever since. Lisa has been a personal trainer since 1997 and I liked it well enough, but Pilates was her epiphany. After her first four-hour training class Lisa went home exhausted and euphoric. ”This is what I’m supposed to be doing,” Lisa told herself.
Having studied with some of the best and done a bit of free thinking on her own.Lisa opened her Pilates studio in 1999, received full certification on all equipment in 2000 from Stott Pilates in Toronto and hasn’t looked back.
