Emily is absolutely the best! She is experienced, attentive, thoughtful, and kind. She has an extremely positive and helpful attitude. She makes adjustments to the exercises as needed. She is prompt, dependable and professional. You could not ask for more in a privatePilates instructor! I would recommend her to anyone.

I have taken a number of different classes with Emily from chair Pilates to pound, from Zumba to Pilates and everything in between. In every class, Emily creates a positive, high-energy space, so that everyone gets excited about working hard even if they're new to the work and feeling unsure. Even in large classes, Emily is able to find and focus on helping people who may need corrections to form. She is able keep the exercise going at the perfect pace for everyone else around when focusing more individually.

Emily is a fantastic trainer. When we started our one on one session she immediately asked me if I had any ailments or injuries to work around, and throughout the workout she constantly checked in. Once we began, I was really impressed with how knowledgeable she was, and how her exercises immediately targeted all my weaknesses, in the best way. She was extremely attentive throughout our session, never letting me fall out of alignment, and that helped hone my own attentiveness to my body. I couldn't recommend Emily more highly, and look forward to training with her again.

I’ve been working with Emily for over 2.5 years now. Exercise is something I generally run away from. However, because of back issues I realized I had to do something. Emily has really helped me strengthen my core and overall body strength. The floor pilates moves look tiny but they can be extremely challenging. Emily pushes you to get stronger each training session - with just the right amount of incremental difficulty.
