Libby Pilates :: Testimonials

"Just like any form of learning, the basic principles are consistent; however, the teacher's style, technique and passion makes - make all the difference. Libby Bideau is that teacher. ...Hard to believe I've been doing Pilates now close to three (3) years,

.She [Libby] exudes commitment to the practice, which every one in her class experiences. She endeavors to create not only challenging sessions, but continues "raising the bar", just when we think we know it all."

I didn't like to exercise until I attended Libby's pilates classes. In fact, now I look forward to them. And this is from a man who was allergic to gyms, yoga and aerobics. Libby is a delightful and engaging teacher. She keeps you involved and interested because she's really involved and interested in her student's progress and the work. I actually feel challenged each time but always have loads of fun. Libby has a great sense of humor and doesn't make exercising a drudge or a guilt laden chore. I soon discovered I had a core and core body strength. Who knew? I cannot recommend Libby and her knowledgeable and powerful teaching techniques enough. Plus she always has some interesting tunes going on in the background.

"I love my Pilates lessons with Libby. Although I had previous tried Yoga and working out at a gym this is a much more focused workout. By focusing on the core of the body, I am strengthening my back and other muscle areas that my past workouts have never targeted. Plus Libby's warmth and excellent sense of humor make Pilates the perfect place to "de-stress" from a long day. I just love her! "

"Libby endeavors to create not only challenging sessions, but continues raising the bar."

"I was completely intimidated by the whole idea of Pilates, especially since I have never been particularly "stretchy." But 3 years ago, a friend talked me into trying it with Libby and I've been addicted ever since.

She makes the entire workout fun and I'm never bored because it's different every time. I feel a real change in my entire body and I'm stronger in everything I do. Plus, with Libby, I get to laugh AND workout"

"I have been enjoying Pilates on and off for 12 years, from Seattle to NYC and now with Libby. The key to committing to my body is loving my teacher and respecting her work. Libby is AMAZING! Her energy level is ALWAYS high and positive.
She is fun loving even as she causes you pain. She is inspiring as she fights to keep her body and attitude strong. She is an amazing communicator, always letting is know of additional class times, which for a mom with an ever changing schedule, it is so great! ...I am down to a size 6 which is smaller than what I was before Isa [my daughter]. Thank you Libby for not giving in to me and allowing me not to give up on myself."

After working out for years with two separate personal trainers and visiting chiropractors for ever I found Pilates and Libby: my back pain is gone, I am no longer sore after a work-out and I feel better than I have in years.
