Pilates for the Soul, the Body, and Everything in Between

What is Pilates, really?

If you’ve ever wondered what Pilates is all about, you’re in the right place. Pilates isn’t just about stretching or core work — it’s about cultivating a deep awareness of how your body moves, breathes, and supports you in everything you do. The body doesn’t think in isolated muscles; it understands movement. My approach is rooted in helping you connect to your “powerhouse” so that every movement becomes intentional, fluid, and strong.

Testimonials

I started doing sessions with Brenda a little over a year ago. I was shocked at how much work I needed to gain in my core, as well as stability. Through Brenda, my posture improved, and I was able to understand how to work from the core instead of putting strain in my low back. I’ve also improved my flexibility from working with Brenda which translates into the field in ways I didn’t even realize were possible. I would recommend Brenda freeman for any athlete whose looking to hone their craft and strengthen their body in a more functional way.

NFL Linebacker - Christian Jones

I had the great pleasure for working with Brenda after coming off a very hard season where I suffered a stress fracture and also diagnoses with Hepatitis A. She helped me get back into shape after almost 6 months of inactivity. It was my first contact with Pilates and I absolutely loved it. The focus placed on core, mobility and even strength was amazing. No idea I was so weak, never trained those little muscles. I felt great getting back on the court and continued doing it all 2019 off season.

Professional Basketball Player - Vlad Moldoveanu

I initially approached Brenda with various injuries from years of competing. Her approach to addressing my individual limitations and needs while simultaneously integrating it into my training schedule was impressive. She took the time to familiarize herself with my sport and its needs while using pilates to help fix the numerous compensations and weaknesses I had developed after training and competing through injuries for years. After a few weeks I started feeling better than I have in years, my back stopped aching and my hips felt more stable than ever. I feel her help has lead to me being the strongest I've ever been at 45 years old. Her work has allowed me to compete at an elite level far past my peers. I highly recommend her as a tool to any athlete looking to improve their health, longevity and overall performance.

As a swimmer I use a lot of my bigger muscles in and out of the water. Before working with Brenda, I couldn't quite figure out how to activate my tinier muscles and balance out my stroke. I have gained more awareness of my core, coordination of my shoulders and overall balance within my body in and out of the pool. I would work with Brenda before my afternoon workouts and I was able to tell right away what transpired on the cadillac and/or reformer was transferred into the pool. My balance was starting to equal out and I felt I was able to move through the water with so much more ease and efficiency. Every athlete is different and Brenda learned the sport of swimming to teach me movements that directly related to my body in the water. Brenda has taught me to truly LOVE pilates and feel the love with each movement!

Professional Swimmer - Gabby DeLoof

Pilates has been a life changing experience for me. I started after my 2017 baseball season because I had tight hips and back pain. Brenda taught me how to really connect different parts of my body and engage my core, which has helped my hips become looser and my back become free of pain. Pilates has helped my body become stronger and that has helped me recover quicker from team workouts, which has allowed me to feel better on the mound and has contributed to my success in pitching.
