Working with the team at pillarPERFORMANCE is the best thing that we have done for our health and fitness! I, Michele, began training with Colleen several years ago. I am not one of those individuals that "loves" to work out. In fact, I have never stuck to any type of training routine before in my life! Colleen inspires me and keeps me motivated in a way that I have NEVER experienced before. My dedication and devotion to working out inspired my husband to give pillar a try and now he is hooked! Our young son even trains there with Jeremy. Fitness has become fun for the whole family! Colleen, Jeremy and Ingrid are phenomenal personal trainers! They are bright, articulate, personable and exceptionally driven individuals. They implement their sessions with a deep knowledge and understanding not only in the execution of the application of strength training and body movement but in overall fitness and health. They are professionals in their field and expertly combine all aspects of human physiology, anatomy, nutrition, fitness and health into their sessions. They are able to tailor and develop training sessions that are personal and suited for each individual. They are the REAL DEAL! We simply cannot say enough about this extraordinary team!
Learning Pilates has been a life altering experience for me. I started training with Colleen 4 1/2 years ago as her first client and was instantly hooked. I broke my back in 2000 and had to undergo surgery. Consequently, part of my lumbar spine was fused together and I felt doomed at the age of 28 to be inflexible and have back pain forever. Colleen has always designed programs to challenge me as well as help me regain my flexibility and strength. Colleen encourages her clients and is always giving positive feedback and reinforcement. I know Pilates will be a part of my life for many years to come. I feel great and I now live pain free. My 10 year old daughter Caroline trains with Jeremy on a weekly basis and has seen tremendous results. She is a little overweight and needs motivation to work out. She looks forward to seeing Jeremy every Monday and works really hard with him. He works out right along with her to keep her motivated and she has a great time. I don't think she realizes how hard she is working sometimes because she is having so much fun. Many gyms can be intimidating, making it difficult for people to achieve their fitness goals. All of the trainers at pillar take the time to know the clients, even if they are not working with them, creating a supportive, welcoming environment. pillarPERFORMANCE has been a blessing in my family and we love training there.
pillarPERFORMANCE has helped Irene and I to cope with physical problems through specific training and exercises to resolve problems that have caused difficulties for both of us. First, Colleen has worked with Irene, my wife and avid sports lover, over the past two to three years to get her back in shape. Before, she was limited to how often she could play tennis and golf due to the problems caused by playing these sports she loves. Her back is now strong despite disc problems and she can play tennis and golf several times a week which she would not be able to do without Colleen's continued work with her. Second, more recently in the last few months, I myself have come to see the value of individual training and exercises to resolve a whole series of physical problems which were annoying and getting my my way of movement such as walking properly, flexibility, wrist, shouler, etc. I am now a 77 year old believer, having worked with Jeremy whereas previous trainers did not address my particular needs. Thanks for your help and continued work with both Irene and myself to keep us enjoying life!
I have been training with Jeremy for four years now. Not only has my physical fitness improved, but so has my self confidence...not bad for a mother of four young adults! Jeremy and Colleen have created a very inviting atmosphere at pillarPERFORMANCE where we all benefit from their vast knowledge and expertise. I look forward to starting my mornings with an extremely vigorous workout with Jeremy...makes me smile all day. The friendship that has developed over the last four years is a much added bonus as well.
Colleen has been my personal trainer for almost three years. I began training with Colleen after I had my son. My goal was to lose the 25 pounds that I gained during pregnancy and at the same time tone and build muscle. Colleen was instrumental in getting me on a fast track and I wanted a trainer that would push me and make it challenging and fun. In just four weeks I began to see results! What I enjoy about training with Colleen at pillarPERFORMANCE is that she brings forth variety and always keeps it fresh and interesting. With all her years and experience in professional dance, personal training, and Pilates, she genuinely offers her expertise and pays close attention to form and how the body moves and responds accordingly making adjustments that are necessary for a successful training session. I never received such knowledgable and constructive feedback from any trainer I worked with, which I believe is critical to your workout. I can honestly say I look forward to getting my butted kicked twice a week!
Thanks to my newly found love, Pilates and personal training, I have rediscovered what my body can actually do. Due to many years of back pain, my movement had been limited. Knowing I needed to find a new workout that would help manage my pain and physical condition, Pilates cross-training was the answer! I am a client who needs to be "handled with care". With several attempts to deal with my pain, most doctors and trainers ran from me and were too scared to work with me. Finally, I found a facility and met the trainers who had the knowledge and eargerness to help me heal my body. Incorporating both pilates and personal training was not only essential during my pregnancy, but in addition and more importantly, from suffering with my newly discovered disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis, a rare form of arthritis. I met a unique team of trainers who have become my saviors. Colleen and her team at pillarPERFORMANCE give me the proper training I need to maintain emotional and physical stability. Thankfully, the trainers here have the knowledge to know what is best for my body and mind. Much to my surprise, they took it upon themselves to research my disease and design a new exercise program that will help me fight this challenge. My training at pillarPERFORMANCE keeps me feeling strong and positive. Private Personal training and Pilates is the only form of exercise I have looked forward to in years. It's my answer to keeping my mind and body healthy. Pilates is my ADDICTION!
