Beyond Fit Pilates

I fit into the category of having special needs. I used to play competitive inter-club tennis. I recently had two successful knee replacements and then a coincidental diagnosis of NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus) which explained why I couldn’t balance when I walk. I will have brain shunt surgery soon. All the while, I have been actively trying to recover. Fortunately, Cindy is certified to work with ‘special populations’ and I experienced that expertise first hand. She has a lot of fitness ideas and was able to adapt them to my ability. Every session was a good total body challenge; I always left feeling thankful and invigorated. Pilates is my ‘new tennis’. Cindy’s clear instructions and encouragement have been invaluable. She is the best!

Cindy is unparalleled as a fitness instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable and devoted to the progress of each person working with her. Her studio is immaculate, her equipment is always well maintained, and her attitude is always upbeat. The time flies and my body gets better with each visit.

This is Karen DeMoss and I have been going to Cindy for a little over a year now. My physical therapist recommended her after I injured my back lifting my granddaughter. I can honestly say my back is so much stronger now after doing Pilates once a week (more is better!) and she is careful to progress me at my own pace without inducing any further injury. She tailors her workout each week to my skill level and it is always something different and fun. When I am with another person ( a duet) she chooses someone compatible with my ability and is flexible to accomodate changes in my schedule. I really enjoy going to her private gym at her residence vs. a large fitness gym and love the personalized experience.

I’ve been working with Cindy at Beyond Fit Pilates for about a year now and I’ve been very happy!! I always look forward to my sessions. Cindy is encouraging and knowledgeable, and I love how she takes the time to understand my goals and limitations. I have some injuries from a previous athletic career and was having trouble finding a workout that would work for me. I feel much stronger since I’ve begun working with Cindy! I especially like that it’s an intimate environment — I can take the time to work the way I need to in the session. Cindy is always able to offer a recommendation re: nutrition, home workouts, and other practitioners that may be helpful. Highly recommend!!

I wanted to get into amazing shape for my sons upcoming wedding. I was in my mid-50s and needed a really good core work. I always thought I could do it myself and had never hired a trainer.
