As a Nurse Practitioner I’m well aware of the importance of physical fitness, however a few years ago I herniated a disk in my neck and suffered in constant pain, I tried physical therapy, steroid injections and multiple medications to control the pain and improve range of motion in my neck. Quite honestly Colette’s yoga/Pilates mat classes have been the most effective treatment. After several months of classes I improved significantly. In her gentle nurturing style Colette continually chal…

“Hi Colette, I though the class was fantastic! Like I said before, I’ve only done Pilates/Yoga at another studio and it was not a very good experience. You were very clear on what our moves were to be, you took the time to make sure we were doing it right, and the atmosphere at your studio cannot be beat! This is definitely something I need in my fitness life, and I’m looking to join your yoga class, too. . trying to get my schedule more organized, and I love that you actually have classes…

“Wow! Where to I start? A co-worker and I started training with Colette in May. We started with two times a week and quickly bumped it up to three times a week! My results have been amazing! The Pilates yoga sessions have made me stronger and leaner and have also eliminated all of the little aches and pains we think we have to deal with just because we’re getting older. I’m quickly gaining flexibility and definition that I haven’t had in years…or maybe ever!! I’m approaching 40 and…

I am VERY impressed with your instruction this past Saturday and look forward to more classes with you. Your knowledge of how I was and wasn’t using my body properly was what impressed me most. It has taken other people much more time to give me the help I could use for maximizing exercising. Thank you very much. -Debbie

I have been very pleased with my results from working with Colette and her sliding system doing Yoga and Pilates. I have MS and suffer from fatigue and heat related symptoms which affect my strength and energy level. I also have difficulty with balance. I am encouraged to exercise by my doctors to treat my MS-related fatigue, but am not supposed to become too overheated since heat can cause symptoms to appear or make the ones I already have feel worse. It is difficult to find a balance between e…

Colette: I just love your program. It has helped my rheumatoid arthritis aches so much. As I explained five c-sections has also weakened my core and I feel your program has helped me strengthen it. I am off work for the summer and this has helped me so much. I plan to continue with you and I just really have gotten different things out of going to classes with you and your husband. A number of my neighbors are interested in coming in as well. I am still waiting for my hysterectomy to be schedule…

I have truly enjoyed the workouts and plan to continue with them for a while. I think what you are doing is revolutionary both in its scope and the use of the internet to allow other users who live at a distance still participate. Thank you again. Healthy Fit Studio Member

“I began training with Collette six weeks after giving birth to my first child. Being a physical therapist I was very aware of the importance to regain core strength and flexibility that I had lost from being pregnant. In my search to get back into exercise I discovered the Barry Method and to my surprise it was exactly what I was looking for. The work out was fun, challenging, revitalizing but most importantly effective. The Barry Method focused on strengthening and stretching muscles grou…

Hopefully, I see you next Sunday for this!! We have our family reunion tomorrow out of town. Oh, and you have magic, magic fingers. Your massage killed off the pain in my side. It was unbelievable. You can post this on your site because people should know about the magic hands of Colette!!! Meetup Member (Aug 18, 2006)
