Strength for Life. A Studio That Feels Like Home. A Community That Feels Like Family.

I started taking Pilates with Dena at Love Pilates about eight months after I retired. I was getting plenty of rest, but still felt tired—it was clear I needed to get moving! A friend had tried Pilates during physical therapy and really enjoyed it, so I decided to give it a try. It only took a few classes to realize: this is the form of exercise for me.
What I love about Pilates is that it works my entire body without putting too much stress on my joints. That was important for me—I’d already had one knee replacement and was scheduled for a second later that same year. In the month leading up to that surgery, I took five classes a week to build strength and make my rehab as smooth as possible.
After physical therapy, I was nervous about slowing down a group class, so I started with private sessions for three weeks before transitioning back to regular classes. Thanks to Pilates, I breezed through surgery and recovery—and I’ve been a devoted Pilates fan ever since.
I’ve stayed at Love Pilates because of the incredible quality of the teachers Dena brings on and the wonderful friends I’ve made here over the years. Everyone is so welcoming—I always go out of my way to introduce myself to newcomers. If you’re thinking about giving it a try, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it!
