Beyond Pilates

I have been putting off knee surgery when a friend told me about MAT.  He lives in Denver, and his trainer/therapist recommended Ed in NYC.  After three sessions, I am seeing the possibilities of this training!  You need to do the homework, just like going to the gym.  Ed is great, leading me through the work--explains everything.  My balance is better, and I look forward to becoming stronger...and no surgery!  Thank you, Ed!

Today was my second class with Sifa.  I came to strengthen my core, back, and hip from a previous injury and have been inactive for some time.  I've left feeling extended and relaxed and excited to be able to move again without pain.  The support offered by the reformer is great and so are the instructions.  I plan to see Sifa for the next few weeks to gain confidence and knowledge of the movements and equipment before entering into group classes. I'm very satisfied.

The best pilates class you'll ever take. I love Tina. She will make sure your form is perfect and that you get the best workout in. Studio is super cute and clean. Small classes really allow the class to be personal. I look forward to this class every week! I've seen an improvement in my posture and I feel much stronger. Worth every penny :)

Understanding how the body’s different parts impact the entire package has been fascinating to me. The source of pain can be entirely in a different area than the actual place we feel it.  Posture plays a big role too so one entire session is dedicated to understanding it and helps to reset ourselves. I definitely recommend anyone with body discomfort to try this technique. Ed is clearly very passionate about his work and his holistic approach while treating the muscles. Try it out!

I have been working with Ed, receiving Muscle Activation Technique treatments, since 2013. He got me active again, after poor body alignment started to restrict my activity levels. I'm very active. I practice martial arts, and I'm over 60. So, getting back to what I love was really important to me.
This year, I underwent a hip replacement. What? you say. That was it? End of being active? No way! Due to all the MAT and posturology work I had done with Ed, my recovery was fast. My continued work with Ed has ensured that I am slowly, but surely, returning to my previous levels of activity. It's awesome!

Thank you for the Class today Chloe!
Beautiful studio and the teacher was good and nice :)

Thank you Ed to help me to improve my  flexibility, to increased my muscle strength and tone, particularly of my  abdominal muscles, lower back and hips!

Beautiful studio; friendly, attentive teacher; great workout - what more can you ask for?!

My friend and I recently started our sessions with Fer as our instructor.  The studio is well set up and Fer is very good with what she does. She gives clear instructions and make sure we are doing it the correct way. We have had 2 sessions with her and can't wait to go back for more.

I really love my first time at the Beyond Pilates. Tina is an amazing teacher and she was so kind and patient with me. Can wait for my next time :)
