Active Body Pilates, Issaquah

05/13/2008 Posted by KimberlyScott

I started at Active Body Pilates in March 2008. The studio is brand new with state of the art equipment. Jana is a fantastic instructor with a great sense of humor. We've come up with a very effective workout that is tailored to my personal goals. I meet with her for one on one reformer trainings and my fiance and I take the mat class on Saturday morning. I've noticed a huge difference in my body shape (it's smaller!) and my core strength has tremendously increased which has really imporved my posture. It's a fantastic workout for those just discovering pilates to the advanced! I highly recommend Active Body Pilates!

Pros: New studio, fantastic instructor, personal attention, great location

Cons: none

Active Body Pilates with Jana has been one of the best experiences in exercise and good health. Jana is very dedicated to her clients and wants to be sure she provides the best experience and total work out to fit your personal needs. During our first consultation, Jana asked lots of excellent questions regarding my physical limitations and any medical issues. We consult each week to ensure we have a mutual plan to accomodate any physical changes or new challenges. She has made each workout a lot of fun while achieving our designated goals. Jana is always professional while still being a lot of fun. Her equipment is state of the art, her techniques leading edge, and the facility one of the most inviting in the entire Eastside. -Gail R.

Pros: Two thumbs up!

I began practicing Pilates with Jana about two years ago in hope's of further developing my "Core" and "Lower Back" strength. I had read about the benefits that Pilates can offer and heard great things about Jana… but what I actually have realized has gone far beyond any expectations I once held… and I have been a committed student ever since! I not only significantly increased my strength in targeted core and lower back areas but also realized significant change in my overall body conditioning, balance, flexibility, support and general relaxation. Many of my chronic injuries have disappeared and I can really "FEEL" the difference in everything I do! Most recently I have been working the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and other balance equipment with Jana "one-on-one". She has created a program that is personalized to my specific needs and monitors my performance against those objectives. The result is that in a very short amount of time I am seeing rapid improvement in body strength and a total body change. When it comes to Jana I can't say enough about her or her talents… Jana has a natural ability to be motivating and encouraging while at the same time providing clear and focused technical instruction. She is always aware and mindful of injured or weak areas that are in need special attention. Her session's are varied, interesting, can be tailored to your specific needs and most importantly fun! Whether you are "Beginning", "Intermediate" or "Advanced" I promise that you will see and feel a difference. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Jana and I am looking forward to working with her in the future. I have no doubt that the progress we make will only be limited to the time I have to devote to Pilates!
