SOFIA GIL

I started doing Pilates a few months ago, and it has completely changed my posture for the better! I have strengthened my core and back in areas that I always felt I had to put a lot of unnatural effort in. The way that Zonnie helped me has been by giving me things on a gradient, that I could really win on, before giving me the next exercise to do.

I never knew what Pilates exercise really was until I started doing Pilates with Zonnie! These classes are so fun and I truly cherish these experiences with her. I feel so well taken care of and know that what we’re doing together is going to help me for the rest of my life!

Thanks Zonnie!

I have worked out my whole life, mainly lifting weights.  When I started working out with Zonnie, my body was pretty out of whack.  Over developed in places and weak in others.  I am also a hairdresser and had a distinct problem with my posture.  Since working with Zonnie, my posture has improved so much that sometimes I catch myself in the mirror amazed at how straight my back is.  She has also balanced out my muscles and I feel and look more in proportion.  She is SO knowledgeable and corrects even the tiniest things.  She is my safety net for whatever workout or activities that I do, she makes sure I am in good shape and good form. Thank you so much Zonnie!

Since starting Pilates with Zonnie, my flexibility, strength and energy has increased.  As an equestrian who rides multiple horses, this is invaluable.  I also have to carry 50 lb bags, groom horses, stand for hours giving lessons and lug saddles, etc. up and down hills.  I plan to do this the rest of my life.  With Pilates, I know that I will be able to well into my 80’s or beyond.  Horses can feel a fly on them, so having incredible fluidity in my body is vital.  Even through a saddle a horse can feel the slightest shift of weigh.  My increased body awareness allows me to be aware of how I use my body and do so as a communication with my horses.  It is awesome!

My college athletic career was cut short due to injuries and my body has been out of whack ever since.  I have been in and out of physical therapy for years, which has always emphasized strengthening certain underdeveloped muscle groups in an attempt to fix my body’s imbalances.   This has provided some temporary improvements but without any long-term sustainability.  It wasn’t until I started Pilates that I began learning how to retrain my body to incorporate proper movement patterns to keep my body in proper alignment.  It has taken a little getting used to, but for the first time in a long time, I honestly feel like I am on my way to returning to my old self, and thanks to Pilates I now have the tools to keep it that way!

Finding new connections with my body that have been asleep for who knows how long and waking them up is a fun and rewarding challenge and Zonnie will challenge you.  She’s got so many tricks up her sleeve to address all sorts of different angles and aspects of the body’s muscles and frame.  You see pretty immediate benefits to the workouts.  Right away I felt stronger and more balanced in some unexpected ways and I think anyone would get that result.

Zonnie seriously changed my life. I took some 1 on 1 classes and by the end of it her classes had corrected by posture, made me stronger, feel younger and helped me get my next belt test in Taekwondo, which requires tumbling.  I would have never been able to do this before. 

I am also a filmmaker, we have to stand on our feet and direct for anywhere to 10-15 hours. She has helped me strengthen my core so I can do this comfortably.  I had a c- section, which cut across my stomach muscles that were numb.  She helped wake them back up and activated the stomach muscles which made me super happy!  I cried with joy after that session. She is seriously a miracle worker!

I had such a good time doing Pilates with Zonnie.  I spent 8 days – 20 hours with Zonnie.  The hardest thing was focusing on all the tiny muscles.  I really noticed the difference in my posture from the first to the last day!  I want to thank you for being a wonderful Pilates teacher.  Zonnie –you have no idea how much it meant to me.  Thank you.  I love you!

SARA DINGES

As a full-time dancer, and religious gym junkie, I was crushed when I got injured with two herniated discs. I thought it was the end of my career because at 18 years- old that type of injury is very uncommon.  Getting my discs back in place was the first step. But after that I knew I needed core and back rehabilitation.  My mom has taken Pilates from Zonnie and we knew it was the perfect way to get me back on my feet. She did a full evaluation of my body and little did I know that my whole body was out of line. She told me she knew exactly what to do. Thirteen sessions later, I am feeling better than I every felt! I can do everything I did before the injury and more! I now trust myself to use the right technique and core work in dance class and in the gym.

I feel like I am actually handing my body in areas I never thought was possible. Zonnie goes right to those areas and starts to activate those problem areas - that part is amazing to me! It's real solutions and something I will have forever!

LISA BENEST

The virtual Pilates lessons have been truly fantastic. First, I am able to fit more sessions per week into my schedule. This has helped me to accelerate my progress, gaining greater strength, balance and flexibility. Second, they are super convenient, I don’t have to drive anywhere and there is no traffic! Third, to my amazement, Zonnie has really been able to see what I am doing and make any corrections as needed. This has been so great for my body. I feel like I am growing younger!

Zonnie really is amazing! I've been going to Zonnie for over a year now and not only has she helped me recover from multiple injuries but she is now helping me correct my posture and tone my body. Every session with Zonnie is completely customized to fit my long-term goals as well as my immediate needs. Somedays I want to focus on mobility, other days I want to focus on strength and she knows just what exercises to guide me through so I leave the studio feeling amazing and one step closer to my fitness goals.

Thank you Zonnie!

I have been practicing Pilates with Zonnie for the last three years and I know Zonnie is a true professional instructor. Being a dancer and a choreographer, she knows the body and is an expert at fixing any problem one might have. Zonnie’s lessons are always challenging and are never the same. Zonnie sees everything and comments on what needs to be corrected.  At the end of the lesson me and my body are feeling great! If you are looking for a Pilates instructor, you will not find a better teacher than Zonnie Bauer.

I have had trainers for years. They promote more flexibility and I didn’t get it. It’s incredible what Zonnie has done in such a short amount of time.
