Metro Detroit Pilates Instructor — Testimonials

Testimonial - Ken

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.

Testimonial - Gabby

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!

Testimonial - Jharel

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.
