Client & Student Testimonials

Ashley Brunette (client of 2.5 years)

"I was always intimidated by Pilates before I tried it. I always thought it was exactly like Yoga, which is pretty difficult for me to preform with my hip dysplasia. I was SO wrong. Pilates has helped my body in ways I couldn’t imagine! It’s the one workout I’ve stuck with consistently for two years now and have seen tremendous results with. Not only have I felt more toned in my waist, but my core strength and posture have also really improved and as a result so has my lower back pain! Because of Pilates, my form has also improved when I do other workouts. Performing certain movements is hard with my hip dysplasia but modifying movements have been my best friends and I’m still able to achieve the same results while still having a challenging workout. I love Pilates, I love Erica and I love my Tuesday morning sessions. 10/10 will continue to come back!"

“I have been working out with Erica since I was 20 weeks pregnant with my second child (currently 11 months PP) and I can honestly say my weekly sessions with her have been a game changer for me! I’ve weight trained for years now and am no stranger to exercising but Erica challenges me so differently. Not only do I believe she helped me prevent any ab separation during my pregnancy, but she has also helped me work through issues with my low back. I have a herniated disc and before Erica, my back would completely give out on a regular basis—to the point of not being able to stand up or walk. I truly believe that the skills I’ve learned through Erica’s methods have prevented this from happening to me again (knock on wood-it’s been over a year and a half). She’s strengthened my core, helped fixed my posture/alignment, and continues to challenge me weekly. Aside from being an amazing and knowledgeable instructor, she is a wonderful person that I look forward to seeing every week! I highly recommend Erica if you’re struggling with any issues regarding a herniated disc or if you’re simply wanting to challenge yourself with this amazing style of exercise!”

“Erica helped me immensely after my second baby was born via c-section. I had to relearn how to activate my core and close my 2" diastasis. Through weekly sessions, she coached me through exercises that were both safe and effective. Her attention to body positioning is unparalleled - it really is amazing how half an inch can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of a move. She is the best fitness instructor I've ever worked with and I refer all of my pregnant friends to her!”

Sarah Miller (client of 6 years)

“Erica is not only knowledgeable about the intricacies of the body but also respects the limitations we all experience.  She offers modifications and meets her clients where they are every day.  Erica takes into account all aspects of the body and makes sure to focus on strength, flexibility, and mobility during every workout.  I love working with her.”

Stacey Block (Pilates student)

“Over the last year and a half that I’ve worked with Erica, she has shaped who I am as an instructor, and has helped my grow my business to the point where my classes are waitlisted, and my private clients have filled my schedule to near capacity. She has provided me with invaluable insight into working with special populations, complicated pathologies and injuries, and has helped me develop and refine my skills in client programming and design. Her support, encouragement, and investment in me as a highly skilled instructor has resulted in a significant refinement of my skills, an increase in my knowledge base and she has given me the confidence and tools to do what I love while having a successful, meaningful and rewarding career.

Erica’s Online Studio has become my go-to resource. It’s where I go to get my own workouts in, as well as an incredible reference tool when planning for client sessions. When seeing a new client with specific injuries or pathologies, I always turn to Erica’s Pilates Science Academy. Her tutorials on working with special populations is an excellent resource for new and seasoned Pilates Instructors alike. Truth be told, mentoring with Erica is like winning the jackpot! She is supportive, encouraging, kind, invested, caring, brilliant and she truly believes in me. I couldn’t ask for more and am so grateful for the opportunity to be mentored by Erica!”

Shantel McCue (Pilates student)

“Erica is professional, enthusiastic, inspiring, and uplifting. She has been a mentor to me throughout my teacher training program, and I could not be more grateful. She makes everything as it relates to pilates, working with clients, and the more complex concepts about movement science easy to understand.”

“Working with Erica after my son and daughter were born was the perfect way to transition back into exercising. Each session was physically and mentally therapeutic, and Erica’s knowledge allowed me to regain my strength and reconnect to my core in the safest manner possible. I recommend her to all of my friends.”
