Ab-solute Pilates

I have been practicing Pilates with Sheri for a few years now. She is a wonderful instructor, guiding through every exercise with encouragement. My strength, flexibility and posture have all improved.
I look forward to my Pilates, which I take several times a week.
Honestly I couldn’t be without it !!

Going to Ab-solute Pilates has changed my life! Having a spinal fusion in my lower back in 2014 has meant I have had to work hard to regain my strength and flexibility. Moving to the USA in 2019 meant I had to start all over again with my care providers which is pretty daunting. Finding Sheri and Ab-solute Pilates has been a huge turning point for me. Sheri is a fabulous instructor who works hard to customise all her workouts to suit the individual needs of her clients. Working with Sheri has resulted in me regaining more strength than I have had for years and I now enjoy more activities with my boys, work harder in my beautiful garden and generally enjoy a pain free existance knowing my back is not going to go any moment. When I do have the occassional issue with my back, going to Sheri for a Pilates session is the best remedy I know.

On a dreary Saturday, I picked the phone, and did the best thing I've done for my body- EVER.
Sheri's bright and cheery voice was on the other end, offering me a chance to improve my stagnant physical condition.
Two years prior, I had been in a severe motor vehicle accident, where I had to relearn to sit, walk, and move my limbs.
After years of focusing on regaining functional movement, I was left with a feeling I needed more. That's where Sheri came in.
She has helped me focus on finding the best body for me- injuries and all. Pilates has helped me engage parts of my body that help in the reduction of chronic pain, gain flexibility, and regain a confident posture. Also, an added bonus- my clothes fit so much better.

Her studio checks all the boxes. Private, caring, and flexible in her methods to consider one's physical condition- not just pushing for the sake of pushing. She is geniunely passionate about building your body for long term use- making life better for me in so many ways. In my youth, I had been introduced to pilates through the ballet school I had been attending, but it had not really clicked the way it has now!
I've found my overall chronic pain has reduced- though I still have my rough days from time to time, my visits to physical therapists and doctors offices have also reduced, and it has given me a low impact physical outlet that I so desperately needed.

Overall, a wonderful experience for me and I expect to continue for a long time.

I cannot say enough good things about Absolute Pilates! I have been going here for just about a year and I am still being challenged. Sheri and Doug really know the ins and outs of what Pilates is meant to be and achieve. With the small class size or one on private lessons, I never worry whether I am completing a move the proper way, they are always watchful and give corrections where needed. I have never felt so strong everywhere in my body, not just the core. I am totally hooked and grateful to have found a great studio and caring instructors.

As a recreational athlete, thank you Sherri for helping me to return to running and tennis after a calf injury, and to return in better shape than when I was injured. I started with Sherri to strengthen my lower extremity, and discovered how effective a Pilates 1:1 session plan was for the whole body. Focusing on my core and putting the time towards training all the muscles in the body, even the muscles I tend to ignore, has had such a huge impact on my posture, performance, and remaining injury free. I feel stronger, taller, and my flexibility is increasing dramatically. Sherri is fantastic to work with. She is always safely pushing you to your own limit and encouraging you the whole way. I highly recommend Sherri and Pilates.
