TESTIMONIALS
I do Pilates because it makes me feel connected to my body and it has made me stronger, both physically and mentally! Liz has taught me to love doing Pilates - she has taught me to engage muscles I never knew existed, she gently challenges me with each session and I am toned and limber! I have never felt and looked better, even after having a major abdominal surgery and being 52 years young ! Thank you, Liz! - Donna Q.
I enjoy Pilates because it tones your muscles while at the same time increasing flexibility. I also like the challenge of trying and completing more difficult exercises. - Diane W.
I do Pilates because it makes me stronger and energized. I think it also helps with my posture and has made me more aware of how the different parts of my body work together or don't but should. And, it's fun (in a self-torture sort of way - 😊) It is also a nice complement to the lower level yoga classes I take. - Charlotte B.
Pilates is gentle but challenging at the same time. It helps me focus my mind while engaging my body and I always feel great after my session. Liz is so encouraging and she motivates me to challenge myself. - Susan M
I do Pilates to prevent lower back pain, improve alignment and posture, and to build strength throughout my body that is core centered. - Joy M.
Love how Liz focuses on each person; she asks what areas you want to focus on and also asks what areas you might have issues with (e.g. back, knees, etc.) and makes certain the exercises are tailored to help, not hurt, those areas. She doesn't push anyone to do anything beyond their ability. I always come away with a great feeling and appreciate her knowledge of Pilates. - Amy H.
I have been doing Pilates on and off for over 15 years. I have always come back to it because I have chronic back pain and Pilates helps with my core strength, balance and overall awareness of how I use my body day to day. I do both private lessons as well as small group classes because the customized attention and instruction helps me to be safe in my movements and tweak my form based on my unique needs.
Liz Fareed is one of the most skilled and knowledgeable Pilates instructors I’ve ever worked with. Her extensive background in dance coupled with her Pilates training uniquely qualifies her as a high quality instructor both on a private and group class basis. Her attention to detail and form has helped me to slowly and steadily get stronger and more capable in our sessions. She is incredibly responsive and skilled at meeting my body where it is on any given day, knowing just when to push me and when to find the just right customization to any exercise we are doing. I feel safe and supported in my work with her and am excited about the progress I have made in our time together. I will be continuing my Pilates work with her indefinitely! - Caryn M.
I studied under Liz Fareed both as a private student and in her mat class. In both settings I came away from each session not only having a great workout but with a better understanding of how my body moved and functioned as a whole unit. Liz has a great personality and a natural ability to communicate her enthusiasm and knowledge. - Henry S.
