Testimonials

“I like working with Amie because she tailors her instruction to exactly what I need. She recognizes muscle groups that have limited range, or where one side is weaker than the other and targets those areas in each session. I’ve worked with Amie in in-person and virtual sessions. To me, virtual sessions are an excellent replacement for in-person training. I am able to watch Amie when she demonstrates the exercises and more importantly she is able to watch me and give me cues to make not only big adjustments but also minor ones to ensure that I am doing the exercise optimally. After working with Amie regularly for over two years, I notice I am stronger and more flexible overall, and I don’t feel any aches and pains of getting older. My posture has greatly improved and I am more aware of my body position throughout the day.

I highly recommend Amie – she will give you a personalized plan so you can feel your best.”

“Amie has been a revelation as a Pilates teacher. She has a diverse and interesting repertoire of exercises and uses very uncomplicated language and clear analogies to describe the sequences of movements. This makes for lovely smooth, precise movements targeting exactly the muscle groups that the exercise aims to recruit.

In her one-on-one sessions, Amie assesses her client regarding ranges of movement, flexibility, and symmetry, and identifies weak or tight areas, areas of asymmetry and overworked or underworked muscles. Through this assessment, she can guide her client through a program that focuses on rectifying these problems. As a physiotherapist, I can vouch for her accurate diagnostic skills.

Amie is very skilled at making small adjustments that make a huge difference in one’s movement and alignment.

I have participated in many Pilates classes over many years and Amie tops them all.”

“Amie really took the time to understand my strengths and limits, and designed a bespoke program for me accordingly. I never felt I was being challenged beyond my capabilities, though I could see she regularly changed and increased the intensity of the workouts. In six months it made a huge difference to my strength. I can now lift both my kids at once! Amie is also very passionate about her job, extremely dedicated and knowledgeable.”

“This was my first experience with 1:1 Pilates and I came to Amie with some lower back and posture issues post-pregnancy. I trained with her for just 10 sessions and in that short amount of time, I have noticed a huge improvement in my posture, ab strength and overall body awareness! I carry myself differently now and feel so much stronger. Amie is a terrific trainer – she is clear and thorough and is encouraging and challenging at the same time. I felt that she really took the time to customize the exercises to my level and explained each exercise really well. She also really makes sure that you have the correct form and makes small adjustments in your body position which make a huge difference! I highly, highly recommend Amie’s services.”

“Amie is very professional, humorous and caring. She can help you better understand each action, really understand why you need to do it. [This way] you don’t have to see her every day, you can do it at home very accurately. I bounced back after baby #2 in half the time compared to after baby #1.”

“Amie is a great instructor for a number of reasons. These are the few I’m going to highlight:
1) Amie puts a lot of thought into each class. She tailors my workout based on my progress, other exercise classes I take, and is flexible with altering the workout plan on the day of based on how I’m feeling.
2) I’m confident in her abilities. She is very thorough in explaining and demonstrating how to do every move.
3) I’ve been taking Amie’s classes for ~1.5 years and she’s had (and continues to have) amazing energy and enthusiasm in every one. It definitely helps to motivate me in each workout.”
