" I met Marlene over 8 years ago, just before my 40th birthday." After working with her for over 8years now, (has it been that long?), I never knew I could look and feel my best approaching my 50's! She make me look forward to every session, as she makes every session feel new and exciting, never repetitive or boring. I admire her creativity and passion for Pilates."

" Marlene has been my trainer for over 10 years. Amazing teacher as well as a great person. I have been working with her with Zoom and in privates in person. a really great combination. She is attentive and committed. Her classes can be intense, but very rewarding because she helps to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Marlene pushes me to heights and work muscles I didn't know I have! Not only does her classes benefit me physically but mentally as well! Love her!"
Andrea S.
"As a person that has suffered all my life with hip and ankle issues, I found that this Pilates has improved my walking gait, balance and strength better then any exercise or physical therapies I've done previously.
When I sit, my pelvis feels different, more grounded. My legs feel elongated and more supportive. My legs and pelvis feel nicer in the standing and sitting position. When I walk, my legs feel relaxed more. I get a sense of a stronger stride, It's a great feeling to start to have a stronger more involved pelvis and core. I can't wait for my mind to get a sense of the subtle changes as we work each week
My thighs feel stronger when I stand and walk. They feel worked in a real nice way. Marlene has given me a great understanding of what Pilates can do for my mind and body over time."

She has not only strengthened my body physically but her instruction has helped me improve mentally as a performing artist and dance teacher through Pilates.
She knows the power of Pilates and balances her teaching by challenging you with encouragement. I'm so grateful to work with her and recommend anyone with and interest in Pilates to take class with Marlene!"
