Testimonials

“I started studying pilates with Maxine in January of 2000, when I was 32 years old and had a toddler. Though I had worked out for years, Maxine taught me about my body and helped me to identify and correct subtle ways I was moving and holding myself that contributed to discomfort.

I had two pregnancies while working with Maxine and I’m convinced that my pregnancies and recoveries were easy because of her expert understanding of the mechanics of posture and movement, which allowed me to stay strong and flexible. I’m now 50 years old and I’m as strong as ever. Weekly pilates with Maxine has been crucial to staying healthy.

I’ve never met anyone with such a deep understanding of movement and alignment. Maxine expertly evaluates and understands how I move and how that affects my strength and health. Pilates with Maxine is more than just looking good in my clothes (though that has been a terrific side effect!), it’s about feeling strong and capable in my body – because I know how it works and I know that I can depend on my core strength to support me no matter what I do.”

“Maxine is unparalleled at perceiving the subtle habitual patterns of movement in her clients that cause imbalance and strain in their bodies. She guides them to self-awareness, symmetry, strength and flexibility. Maxine’s expertise in the biomechanics of dance together with her wit and compassion make her a masterful teacher.”

“After a lifetime of lifting weights, running, and other ‘guy’ exercise, working with Maxine has been a revelation. In sessions with her I use muscles I never knew I had. Through working with her, I find myself becoming both stronger and more flexible that I’ve ever been. She is extraordinary.”
