The Pilates Shoppe

This week we’re celebrating our 1,000+ class club member Kristina with over 1,100 classes since 2009! Read on for her Pilates origin story: “I can’t remember exactly when I started at the Pilates Shoppe, but Im pretty sure it was well over 15 years ago! I was mainly a runner at the time but had heard people talking about Pilates and I couldn’t wait to try it. That first class was brutal @(having never done anything quite like it before) but I kept on coming back and pretty quickly, I began feeling stronger, leaner and actually taller. Fast forward to today, and I can’t imagine my life without it. I’ve been coming 3 times a week for as long as I can remember and I hope I can continue forever. I miss it so much when I travel or can’t be there. The instructors are all amazing and challenge me in different ways. Also, this little studio in Aliso Viejo attracts the loveliest clientele ~ It makes the classes fly by! Thanks Jen and the Pilates Shoppe!”

Celebrating our 1,000+ class club members: meet Denise, 1,101 classes strong! Read on for her Pilates journey in her words:
“The Pilates Shoppe and the community I have here are everything to me. I began taking classes with Jen in 2015 soon after my MS diagnosis. I was coming to PT with Tim for a frozen shoulder and was in so much pain physically and mentally that I knew I needed to try something new. I truly believe that pilates has saved me in so many ways, it's the only workout I have consistently stuck with that sometimes I feel like it's become an addiction!! I've built strength while also working on my balance and flexibility. There are many studies that show that Pilates is great for cognitive function as well, but to be honest I think it's healthy just giggling with my friends as we struggle through a tough workout. We have so much in common, as many of us are in our mid 50's, and don't even get me started on our menopause journey. We are experts in all things estrogen, protein, fiber and raising adult children. Why do I need Pilates in my life? I would like to say take a class and find out, but I don't want you to take my spot. 😉”

We’re celebrating our long time clients with over 1,000 classes! Starting with Kevin, who today completed his 1,070th class. Incredible! Read on for Kevin’s Pilates Shoppe story, in his own words: “Back in 2013, my daughter, Caitlin, was taking Pilates classes at the studio in preparation for her wedding. She kept telling me I should try it, but I was my sure about it. At the time, I was going to the gym a few days a week and walking a lot. Finally, in the Spring of 2014, I decided to try it. I took a few private lessons with Jen and Cory. I decided to try the classes and because Monday and Friday mornings worked best for me, I signed up for those classes with Jen.

I really liked the classes, especially since Jen mixed up the workouts. I found them challenging and liked the group of people in the classes. I kept up this schedule (every Monday and Friday), for about ten years with the exception of when we were on vacation, or I had business out of town. When Caitlin got licensed, I changed my schedule to Tuesday and Saturday so I could take her classes once a week.

Prior to starting Pilates, I generally had two to three times a year when my back would act up and I would be in pain for two to three days. Since starting Pilates, I have had virtually no issues with my back and the few times I did tweak it, the issue went away in just a few hours - not days. I attribute that the improved core strength that I developed from Pilates.

While I am a bit of a creature of habit, I certainly am glad I gave Pilates a try and added it to my weekly workout routine. I would highly recommend it and the team at the studio to anyone.”
