“What a team at Tru Pilates! I have been taking only one class per week so far, for about 3-4 months, and I'm already noticing the benefits to my mild body arthritis. I recently helped my daughter to move, and the lifting, carrying, steps down and up, didn't bother me as before I started Pilates. Rachelle has been the instructor I take more classes with, and I always leave the class feeling more nimble and, happier, and relaxed. Her knowledge and kindness make the class feel like a peaceful haven.”
