Q: What got you started doing pilates? "I moved to Texas two years ago after some personal challenges, with very low self confidence. After swimming my whole life, I struggled to find an exercise routine that I could stay committed to (that I enjoyed as well). I found Purely Pilates on Google , and after my first consultation with Stephanie I was hooked."
Q: What's your secret to sticking with it? "After doing pilates for two years, I am only eager to learn more and more with each class, which has never happened to me before. I have never done exercise that demands such a mind-body connection. It really takes me out of my stressful life for an hour to concentrate on me and my body. The physical benefits of strength and toning aren't bad either!"
Q: What other improvements have you noticed? "My two pilates classes a week are my time for myself. I wish I could come every single day. Not only am I stronger physically, I am stronger mentally. I can handle stress much better when it arises. I LOVE this place. It is such an escape from the hustle of daily life."
