Gretchen is very knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate instructor! I started with the private classes and now I am capable of doing the group classes with much more experienced folks. She always mixes the things up, so the classes stay interesting and challenging.

I have been taking Pilates with Gretchen for several years. What I️ love about her classes is her determination for us to do it correctly. She doesn’t just give instruction and move on. She ensures your form is correct. She wants us to get the most out of each move.
I️ also love that she is constantly learning new things and passes that knowledge to her students. We do not do the exact same thing over and over. It’s classical Pilates but she teaches technique from different instructors she learns from.
She is also always happy and pleasant. If she is having a bad day she doesn’t show it.

What I looked for in a Pilates instructor:
The instructor arrives to teach class – is prepared and has a class plan layout. There is no “ah” what should we do next in class. There is a flow to every class.
The instructor knows her students – understands the strengths and weakness of each student and pushes them to achieve more in each class. Takes the extra time to design and teach classes that she knows you need to focus on
Coaching, Cuing & Correcting. An excellent Pilates instructor pays attention to her students throughout the entire class. Whether a student is new or advance, instructors need to check alignment and format. An instructor should be skilled enough to teach more than one variation of most exercises.
An instructor will emphasize the importance of breathing.
Instructor ensure students align themselves at the beginning of the class -also familiarize themselves with imprinting and how it relates to cuing and neutral spine alignment.
Gretchen is all the above and so much more. She always exceeds my exceptions in every Pilates class. She studies her students in every class and will align the exercises to focus on what areas her students need to work on to achieve strength and flexibility. She genuinely believes in what she teaches, and it shows!
