Pilates Institute of Scottsdale offering Gyrotonic Method

I started attending Ms. G’s studio five years ago, I used to have frequent migraines and muscle spasms along the back of the neck and along the spine. I tried several exercise classes and programs but found them ineffective and boring. A friend then told me about Ms. G. I enrolled into her Pilates class and very soon became a follower. I trust her knowledge and greatly appreciate attention to individual needs of clients. This makes the program more interesting and much more effective than a “cookie cutter” approach that I encountered in other facilities. I greatly appreciate the cleanliness of the studio, calm and relaxing atmosphere. Since I started to attend Ms. G’s classes I feel much better. I am stronger have better posture and the migraines headaches are only sporadic. I am now happy with the level of my physical and emotional fitness.

I am a middle-aged professional who spends many hours at work sitting and reading. As a result, I began to experience neck and back pain. My core muscles became weak and my overall posture deteriorated. I became deconditioned and unhappy. Then I came across Ms. G. A friend recommended her studio and I began learning about Pilates. Ms. G. encouraged me every step of the way. She helped me understand the philosophy behind the Pilates exercise program and ensured that I was correctly using the equipment and adhering to the prescribed exercise program. I became an avid follower. Because of her attention to detail and constant encouragement, I began to experience amazing results. The aches and pains dissipated, my core strength improved and I regained my once excellent posture. The results were quite impressive and became best motivation for me to continue with the program. Ms. G’s studio is immaculate. It is quite, clean and the atmosphere is calming and inviting. Ms. G’s professionalism and expertise are outstanding and her knowledge of human anatomy and exercise physiology is most impressive.

I started gyrotonic work with G, the owner, four years ago when I was in tremendous joint pain. She designed a program for me which strengthened my core and stretched my tight muscles. She prepared me for two hip replacement surgeries and rehabbed me after each of them. Her tremendous knowledge and dedication to providing an individual program for each of her clients is outstanding. I now walk and play on the floor with my grandson without pain because of her! She demonstrates the same passion for her clients in her small groups. I can't recommend her highly enough!

The classes here are small - six students at the most - so you get more personalized attention to make sure you are doing everything in the correct position. The owner, G, knows more exercises than any teacher I've met and she is always conscious of everyone's injuries/weaknesses (like a bad shoulder or wrist). This is a locally owned studio with instructors who truly know what they are doing! And they pace classes to your skill set (beginner or advanced). I feel like this studio is more authentic and challenging than the new larger studios that are popping up everywhere.

The classes are fun, challenging and have kept me strong. My core is in great shape as well as my balance. I'm a long time attendee and plan to continue........
