"I am 65 years old and have being doing Pilates exercise with personal trainers since 1997.  I started exercising with Pilates originally because I have scoliosis and wanted to maintain and improve the flexibility of my back as well as bone density. The byproducts of these exercises are not only improved flexibility, but greatly increased muscle tone and mass and improved posture.  Lisa Tobias, owner of Pilates Bodies has done so much to improve my posture and flexibility in my several years of training with her.  Most people are unaware that I have curvature of the spine. In a bone density test taken last year, the results showed that I would not have the onset of osteoporosis until 90 some years of age.  I highly recommend Pilates exercise and especially the great trainers at Pilates Bodies!"

"I began working with Lisa in January of 2004 in her studio in South Tampa.  She took the time before our first appointment to talk with my physical therapist to design a program that would achieve my goals without doing any harm.  That meant a lot to me, and spoke volumes about Lisa's dedication to her profession and her clients.The results have been phenomenal.  Within a few sessions I could see and feel the difference.  I am now able to do all the things I wanted to be able to do with my son, as well as return to a more active lifestyle than I had been able to lead in quite some time.  Lisa is incredible.  I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who is serious about improving their well being."

"My private lessons at Pilates Bodies has not only helped alleviate my back pain and increase my flexibility, but they have also made me more aware of proper body mechanincs which I now apply when Im lifting weights at the gym.  I increased my maximum lift weights by 10% shortly after starting pilates, which I attribute to the added flexibility and core strength! "

"My orthopedic physician suggested that I try Pilates to help with my chronic back pain.  I interviewed several studios until I found one that I felt had instructors with the expertise and experience to help me.  This program has helped me tremendously and I look forward to each session.  I’ve gained back over ½ inch in height and am physically able to do work around my house and yard that I was losing the ability to do.  The added bonus was losing those inches around my hips and waist, also!"
