    What Clients Say

    "I've been taking Pilates with Gissel for about 9 months and I'm amazed at the progress. I even quit my Bikram classes. She made me feel comfortable as a beginner, explained every move with clear cues, and her OT background made me trust her, and I'm already seeing better. I'm already seeing better core strength, endurance, and posture."

    Ivon S.

    "Gissel brings a clear, confident voice to Pilates. She's caring and explains things in a way a novice like me can follow. I look forward to our sessions, and after a month I already feel stronger."

    Space & Setup

    Set up a 7x7 ft space and position your camera so I can see your full mat from the side. A laptop or tablet works best. Use a pilates mat (1/2"/12 or 15 mm) with 2-3 lb hand weights and a hand towel for head or spine support if needed.
