The thing about Susanna as a teacher . . . is that she really teaches.

Just wanted to share that after leaving Pilates today, my back never felt better. No strain, no tightness. I don’t even feel my back, which is great! THANK YOU for today. I hope I can hold onto this feeling!

As a Pilates instructor I have the privilege of helping men and women of all ages and physical conditions reshape their bodies--outside and in--to enjoy the indisputable benefits of stronger backs, flatter abdominal muscles, significantly reduced neck tension, better posture, less aching of the joints, and even...improved digestion!
Properly performing Pilates requires a coordination of breathing and movement which can be tricky at the beginning; one-on-one attention will insure that you master the discipline correctly to achieve optimal results. While I teach group classes, my specialty is private instruction in your home, workplace, or at my studio. Lunchtime Pilates classes are increasingly part of corporate wellness programs. The modest cost is abundantly repaid by the improved health and vitality of the participants. |

"Fortunate is the person who gets to be in a Pilates class with Susanna Gaertner! She is upbeat, hilarious, encouraging and totally professional.
I have to say this has been my best exercise experience in ten years." -- Carolyn Reynolds |
"I absolutely love Susanna's classes and would highly recommend them to anyone. Not only are they fun, but the small class size means personal attention, which is crucial for anyone wishing to learn the proper Pilates techniques. Additionally each class has students of approximately similar degrees of expertise."

"Well, thank you very much! The new low back stretches we did last Thursday were so wonderful. My right side finally started getting stretched. And YOU are the only one to help me do that in two years.
What a fantastic lady." -- Margaret Phillips MS OTR/L CHT |
