Heidi Dutch Pilates Studio

I have been seeing Heidi for two private sessions per week, for over nine years. I first came to her with a serious back injury with lots of pain. She is a genius. Within a year, the pain subsided and within a couple more my back was healed. I am now an amateur triathlete and she helps keep my body in top shape. When I have an injury or a concern, she shifts the session to my needs and I always come away feeling better. She has helped me understand my posture and core better, and I feel her influence in all of my movements throughout the day.

Let me add that I was concerned when she moved online because of the pandemic. I though the sessions couldn't possibly be as good. They are better, in fact. The two inflatable balls she has me use do everything that a reformer does, and I am now doing my pilates in the comfort of my own home. I couldn't be happier.

Heidi is a smart, funny, empathetic person, and a consummate professional. It is no understatement to say that I can walk today because of her, and that my quality of life is better than I could have imagined nine years ago. I am lucky to have her in my life.

It has been an eye opening experience for me to work - for the first time - with a Pilates coach.  Heidi has brought me from distorted walking after my hip surgery to far more normal walking and total observation of other issues that are steadily increasing my posture and ability to move..  After significant time in individual coaching, I am now trying the online class - and loving it!  1-2 times a week is already improving my daily habits of walking and moving well.  I am soooooooo dedicated to this and Heidi!

Heidi is beyond responsive to your specific needs. I have called her in time of sciatic crisis and she got me up and waling within thirty minutes!!!  She pays attention to detail and knows what needs to be corrected for optimal results. I could go on and on!! If you ever thought about trying Pilates... DO IT!!

Pilates with Heidi is its own world of good. Classes and private sessions are devoted to a practice that is varied, thorough, and modifiable. She uses every moment in her perfectly paced instruction to lead her students in and out of movement that focuses on strength, stability, balance, breath, healing, and flexibility. She pays attention to detail—body positioning, holding habits, patterns both subtle and obvious—to recommend shifts for healthy alignment in body and mind. Heidi is expert, experienced, and empathetic—exquisite!

I have been "working" with Heidi for almost 9 years!  First, in-house using reformer, chair, silks, mats,...and now using my laptop, mat, and ball virtually!  I feel stronger and more balanced since beginning PIlates with Heidi.  Her background and training make her an excellent instructor no matter your experience level.

If you’re looking to be stronger, more fit, more functional, and more confident, Heidi Dutch is the place for you, regardless of your current fitness level. Highly-experienced, highly-qualified, positive, strengths-based, and focused on YOU, Heidi is the best fitness coach/instructor of any kind I have ever experienced—virtually or face-to-face. While I've always been active, I was discouraged and overweight after knee surgery, I’d been a somewhat intermittent Pilates participant, although I could see it had many benefits. With the advent of Covid, I got serious, and stuck to a routine of twice weekly virtual classes this year interspersed with periodic private coaching sessions. Equipped only with a laptop, my yoga mat, and an inexpensive squishy Pilates ball, I’ve melted off the pounds, strengthened myself safely to compensate for injuries, kept my sciatica at bay, and frankly feel a decade younger. And, I can take advantage of the virtual studio wherever I live or travel. It’s no exaggeration to say this investment has improved my health and my life.
