What Clients Say
“Press Pilates has been a wonderful gift to me! I have enjoyed a life of being very active in the gym, lifting weights, running, walking and love playing tennis! But, what has been the most beneficial to me, is my time spent with Mary, I am at an age, 56, where, assistance with activating, energizing, those over used and under used parts of my body, makes all the difference! Mary is so good at watching every movement I make, I have made her aware of my old tears and injuries and she is wonderful at guiding me through an incredible workout! I Highly recommend Mary! “

“Mary is the best teacher! She knows when to push me harder as a student and knows when I need a break and encouragement. I am stronger than I have ever been. Her teaching method focuses on correct form to work muscles not usually targeted and prevent injury--a term most mainstream workout classes do not even bring up. Always fun to take a class with her. On another note, I recently sprained my ankle running and Mary gave me specific exercises that allowed me to still work out while not putting weight on my injured ankle so it could heal. I have continued to stay with her every step of the way on my recovery path to a fully restored ankle. She takes the time to listen to your needs and goals as your pilates instructor. She’s the BEST!”

“My experience with PressPilates is superior to any other workout class I've attended. Because of Mary's ability to "meet you where you are" approach, her teaching method offers a premier virtual experience. Mary is exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled and intelligent as she establishes a benchmark for professionalism and expertise. That level of professionalism and the ever-friendly and warm environment is immediately apparent from the minute you join her virtual class or see her in person. After just one session with Mary, it was apparent she has a real enthusiasm for Pilates and exhibits the fundamentals of consistency, intelligence and discipline in her teaching style. These qualities are so important, because each person comes to class with a unique and highly individual skill set/athletic ability. I believe PressPilates fully understands those challenges and is eager to work with any client by meeting them where they are and teaching at a growing pace. Like me, many believe Pilates is just for dancers or rich housewives where the price point isn’t affordable. However, with PressPilates all of that goes out the window.. in fact I've seen Pilates can be for everyone: young or old, women and men, athletes and non-athletes, healthy individuals and those who have injuries. There really is nothing like Mary's method of Pilates, and nothing else can come close to the transformative and restorative powers her practice offers. I wish that I had begun to learn Pilates at an earlier age, but it is never too late to begin. I plan to continue deepening my understanding of Pilates and growing stronger in my practice. I am deeply grateful to Mary and her time and dedication to instructing me. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in improving their life or health to take the first step, and get in touch with Mary to set up a session.“

“Mary is a fantastic instructor. She has such a positive attitude, is always in your corner, and keeps you motivated throughout your lessons. She’s also just a wonderful human being! Mary really understands how pilates can be a game-changer to ones health and well-being. My husband has struggled with muscle and back pain for years. After dedicating himself to pilates for the last year, his body (and life) have literally changed. Mary has been such a big part of his road back to health! As a pilates newbie in 2020, I feel very lucky to have had Mary as my very first pilates instructor. After 10+ years of practicing yoga, it’s no surprise that I’m very in tune to how my body moves. That said, pilates has really opened my eyes to new and different ways my body works and has introduced new areas for improvement! Because of Mary’s approach and encouragement, pilates is now officially a part of my life. Also, I’ve worked with Mary both in person and virtually, and it’s amazing how effectively she has been able to adapt her instruction via the online space. She didn’t skip a beat.“

“Best. Instructor. Ever. I first met Mary over a year ago. My desire was to become more flexible and to establish a stronger core. I had minimal goals and was not sure I would really stick with Pilates long term. Well, not only have I stuck with it, but I have also grown so much mentally and physically. I knew Pilates was good for my body, but it has been life-changing for my mental health, especially during these crazy days of COVID and everything else going on in the world. Mary is such a caring and patient instructor. When I first started out, I could not do much, but she met me at my skill level, held my hand, and encouraged me beyond where I thought I could be. I will always be grateful to her, providing a safe place to learn and flourish. I learned something new each time we work out and amazed at how far I have come and how much I still need to grasp. I am excited about continuing the journey with Mary cheering me each time I reach a new milestone.“
