WHAT CORIE'S PILATES CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
Client Testimonials of Corie's Teaching Style
“Corie is an amazing teacher. I am a newbie in the Pilates world, and Corie can not only explain and cue the movement, but she also explains the reasons why it’s important to do it in that way. Also, she can explain the differences between classical and contemporary Pilates and lets you try both ways. I love adding Pilates to my routine. I notice a big difference in my everyday lifestyle—less aches and pains and a lot more strength.”
MEGHAN H., GROUP CLASS
“When I started taking group Pilates, Corie’s classes immediately became my favorite of the week. Her anatomical knowledge and focus, combined with detailed and creative cues gave me a much deeper understanding of my own body and movement. Every class feels fresh and new, keeping me engaged and interested while we built a strong foundation. Anytime my friends ask me about Pilates, she’s at the top of my recommendation list!”
LAUREL W., GROUP CLASS
"Corie's classes are the best--she makes you feel so welcome and at ease that you forget you are actually working out. She's the only instructor that I will ever work with because she's shown me how fun and straightforward Pilates and working with the reformer can be. I look forward to her classes so much and really should take more! Corie has this amazing ability to make you laugh while you're getting strong, and she meets you where you're at skill-wise and works to help you level up."
ANNA R., PRIVATE TRAINING & GROUP CLASS
"I have had a pilates practice for almost a decade now. I love that it keeps me strong and flexible. Corie’s classes are technique based, but she also knows how to mix it up to keep it fun and challenging. She is equally as personable as she is focused on making sure you are doing the exercise correctly. Pilates can be intimidating with all the equipment, but she makes pilates approachable with her friendly presence, clear explanations, and her ability to give modifications if a move doesn’t feel right."
KAYLEE W., GROUP CLASS
“I took classes with Corie when I first got into Pilates and she taught me all of the foundations I needed to know before working my way up to more difficult amplifications and exercises. She paid attention to my progress and pushed me when she knew I could handle more difficult exercises. She has knowledge and understand of the practice that I have not seen in many other instructors in the 5 years I have been doing Pilates. I could not recommend her enough for Private classes if you want to feel stronger and more confident in your practice and also have fun doing it.”
WESLYN R., GROUP CLASS
“I was lucky enough to work with Corie early into my Pilates journey. She uses easy-to-understand cues and gives plenty you plenty of options and modifications. I have yet to find another instructor dedicated to her students form and growth. If you are looking into Pilates, I highly recommend working with Corie. Not only is she a great communicator with a unique perspective and approach to teaching Pilates, but she will keep you smiling the entire class.”
DAYNA R., GROUP CLASS
"A friend dragged me to a class and I couldn’t stop going ever since! I love how accessible it is and have now convinced my husband to do it with me too! I love all of Corie's queuing! She thinks of everything from releasing jaw tension to foot placement and using the right phrasing so I quickly understand! I always leave class in a fantastic mood and feeling energized for my day! While I’m new to Corie’s classes, I already feel like I’m getting stronger! I love the subtle corrections and her true focus on helping everyone be their best!"
KRISTEN S., GROUP CLASS
“I did Pilates years ago and loved it. I was introduced by an old coworker. Corie is detailed and intentional in her instruction. Even at my first class with her, I knew exactly what she was asking us to do. I was never looking to the rest of the people in the class to gain understanding. Her classes make me feel strong and productive. I love how she describes each movement and pays attention to everyone’s form."
KATIE A., GROUP CLASS
"Chronic pain brought me to Pilates. Corie is a phenomenal Pilates instructor. She has a strong attention to form, and she offers understandable examples of how to reach that proper form—especially for those new to Pilates. Corie's classes are challenging, and I walk out of them feeling both empowered and refreshed. In addition, she is able to appropriately accommodate the physical limitations of her students. For instance, I have limitations in my spine, and without fail, she ensures that I have alternative options for certain moves. I am always thoroughly impressed by Corie and her classes, and I highly recommend her!"
NAN S., GROUP CLASS
"I train with Corie in a Private studio. I came to Pilates due to hip pain/issue and a general want for infinite mobility. Specifically, Corie's attention to detail, creativity in that no two classes are the same, ability to push me to do things i never thought my body could do are what I like the most about her classes. No BS/no nonsense vibes. I feel like a million bucks after her classes. How I feel outside of class is incredible. My runs are farther and faster, I can lift heavier and my hip pain and discomfort is gone. She always makes me feel good and like I can do anything, physically. 10/10 no notes. Highly recommend."
