“As a bride-to-be, Ale has helped me reach my fitness goals through her challenging yet approachable online classes. Her informative teaching style and soothing voice help make the workouts go by in a snap and you’ll definitely feel the burn! Highly recommended for any bride looking to get in shape for their big day. Pilates has also been a great mental escape from all the wedding planning!”

“I have been working with Ale virtually throughout my pregnancy and into a year postpartum, and it has been a fantastic experience! I completed the Boston Marathon with her help. She personalizes each workout to where you are at. The workouts are fun, impactful, and challenging. I highly recommend working with Ale if you want to meet your fitness goals.”

“I’ve taken classes with Ale for a couple of years, both in-person and virtually. Ale’s classes are focused, effective, and fun! She pays very close attention to correct even minor mistakes in form, and regularly introduces new exercises to keep things fresh. Her patient corrections have helped me greatly improve my posture and correct many bad habits I developed from my daily work at the computer. With the virtual sessions, Ale adapts the routines to the equipment I have at home, but brings the same focus and energy, so they’ve been similarly fun and effective.”

“I love taking Ale’s classes, especially our virtual 1-on-1 sessions. She is very patient and elegant (she is a dancer!) We always work on whatever my body needs the day we meet. She has helped me fix quite a few issues such as low back pain, stiff neck and shoulders from sitting in front of a computer screen all day, feet and ankle pain from dance. and pain around my tailbone from a snowboarding fall. She really pays close attention to my body and reminds me whenever I tense up the wrong muscles. Her exercises are very efficient for deeply relaxing and conditioning the target muscles. My body always feels refreshed and open after the class. With her knowledge I have learned how to properly utilize muscles for everyday movement. She has taught me how to breath properly and deeply relax my body after a long day at work. I have also learned how to gain a stronger and more stable core to perform better during dance and workouts. I definitely feel that my body has benefited a lot from taking her class.”

“Online Pilates sessions with Ale have been a lifesaver during the pandemic. Her sessions are custom tailored, and have kept my body moving and aligned while I’ve been working from home (and much more sedentary than usual). As someone previously with lower back issues and is in front of a computer all day, Pilates has been invaluable in strengthening my core muscles and keeping my posture in check.”

“Ale’s weekly Pilates class is something I always look forward to. I appreciate how attentive and meticulous she is about correct placement and movement. Through her gentle corrections, I’ve gained more awareness and control of my body, my posture and balance have improved tremendously, all of which my ballet teachers have also noticed. I am not exaggerating when I say that her Pilates classes have made the biggest difference to my dancing since I started ballet as an adult.”

“I have had the pleasure of training with Ale for several years now. I relocated to Kentucky last summer and wanted to continue training, but I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to try the Zoom classes at first. Ale made the transition very easy. Initially I just had a mat, a foam roller, bands and an exercise ball, but I was so happy with Ale’s workouts that I purchased a Reformer - and I am so glad I did! Especially during this past winter when it was too cold for me to go outside- I needed those sessions! Ale has helped me work through several injuries, including foot surgery. She always keeps my workouts challenging while accommodating any physical limitations that I have. Not only is Ale an excellent instructor, she is also charming and makes all of my workouts enjoyable!”
