What People Are Saying

'This is an excellent teaching school. Vicki and her staff are awesome. I learned a ton and the manual was excellent.'

'Vicki was an excellent instuctor. I am looking forward to another workshop with her in the future.'

'Vicki, my instructor, is a truly amazing woman. She has such a deep understanding of the material and the human body as a whole and she has such a gift for sharing that knowledge. Her enthusiasm is impossibly contagious and I not only walked away from this course at the end with that shared enthusiasm but also with the confidence that I would be successful in passing my new found knowledge onto my Pilates students.'

'Vicki Sullivan is an excellant instructor! Her Jacksonville studio offers an environment both comfortable and stimmulating to learn Pilates in. And her expertise proved to be very useful and educational. I look forward to taking future classes with her to better my Pilate's knowlege and hopefully one day become an excellant instructor, such as her, one day!'

'Cheryl,The instructor was awesome. Please bring more trainings to Jacksonville. Your trainings are high-quality and wonderful. Thank you.'

'The training was great!'

'The Mat 1 course was a great class, looking forward to being able to put a class together & practice teaching.'

'I really enjoyed this course. Vicki is a great teacher. I am really looking forward to Mat 2!'

'Mat 1 was an excellent foundation course. I felt that Vicki covered all the basics and more - and clarified the questions that I had as a beginning instructor. The manual is excellent (I will refer to it often!) and I'm excited to continue my training! Thanks!'

'Excellent workshop.'

'The course was excellent! Cheryl is a FABULOUS teacher. I really like her pace through the material, the round robins, and her responsiveness to the students. Thank you!'

'Cheryl is a born teacher. She doesn't just teach, she educates. Her depth of knowledge and passion for her subject are outstanding. Her enthusiasm for her craft shine through in every class she teaches, and every session I take from her. Her mastery of the body and anatomy only help to make her a more dynamic instructor when it comes to teaching people how to teach. Balanced Body is extremely lucky to have Cheryl representing them as faculty. '

'This session was the best. The instructor was patient and very thorough. The teaching was more than the 'moves' - it was about really understanding the underlying purpose of the excercise and how it integrated. '

'Cheryl is such a great teacher, and her use of time during a four hour workshop was ideal. '

'My experience with this course was very positive. I felt like the information/exercises were covered thoroughly, there was enough time to absorb everything we learned, practice and ask questions. Our instructor Jenny was amazing and so full of knowledge and information. I never felt as if I was asking the "wrong" or "stupid" question. On top of just covering the material in the book she had great suggestions for how to work with a wide variety of clients and she made us feel as though we can always go back to her with questions that may come up in our future studies or teaching experiences.'

'I am thrilled with how much I enjoyed the Reformer 3 workshop. Our instructor, Jenny, was so patient with the millions of questions I asked. I walked away at the end of the week feeling confident in my new knowledge and excited to pass it onto others.'

'Mat 2, taught by Jennifer Landels, was excellent! After taking this course, I can't wait for the next one.'

'Jennifer Landells was amazing, patient and postive. She was attentive and gave me the confidence and enthusiasm to move forward with my personal pilates practice and future career.'

'Awesome course. Great instructor. Great host site. I'm going all the way.'
