Mobile Pilates With Alex

I just wrote the following to Alex but thought I would share it on Unilocal too. (And for a little background I was in bed for a year, then progressing to a wheelchair, Walker etc. for years due to foot pain.)
Wow! I can’t believe the difference in my feet after our first session. I just tried going on tiptoes and staying there for a while and the difference is huge. Not only was I able to hold it much longer, the pain was lessened and my feet feel so much more flexible. Thank you so much!“
Gratefully, Maia Alpern, El Cerrito,

I’ve had on-​and-​off severe back pain for nine years (triggered by a horseback riding accident,) and believe it or not, there are some benefits to this disaster – I left a soul-​sucking job in a cubicle with a hellish commute to become a dog walker/​small business owner and I am much happier for it. Another silver lining is that dealing with pain slows me down and makes me more aware of being in the moment and the more joyful in the times I am pain-​free. Let’s face it, though – overall being in pain really SUCKS. Enter Alex.
Like all change that is really going to «stick,» it doesn’t happen in a couple weeks, but since Alex introduced me to my CORE, (I’m not going to spoil the surprise, but you also have one, and Alex can make introductions,) I am moving the Ibuprofen and Flexeril bottles to the BACK of the cabinet. This is a joyous development.
Meeting with Alex once a week for a private session is not very expensive since the results are priceless. She is very supportive and understands and remembers what I’ve told her. Sessions are about finesse and precision and understanding how my body works. Wish Alex’s help I am rewiring how I move, (engaging that CORE,) so I avoid pain and further injury. I feel so lucky to have met Alex when I did – it wasn’t a moment too soon. Thanks, Alex!

It’s awesome to wake up, have coffee and have an instructor come right to the door — this way you don’t put it off and you start off the day energized and with a sense of accomplishment.
Alex is professional, patient, and gives clear, precise instruction to beginners. She brings her enthusiasm and gear and assesses your injuries, goals, and ability level. She maps out a routine to practice in between sessions and has endless skills and exercises to learn. You will be impressed, safe, challenged, and cheered on with Alex!

As a Surgical Veterinary Ophthalmology Technician, my entire week consists of precise body movement and holding various positions for long periods of time. My back was a constant problem, after one amazing consultation and four targeted sessions with Alex I’m happy to say I am a new man! If I could give her ten stars I would. My favorite part is that I don’t have to be in a giant class setting making an ass of myself. She brings her knowledge and equipment to me. Thank you Alex for my continued comfort and new found core! Five years of being your client and it never
gets boring!
