Bonnie is a dedicated and focused Pilates instructor whose personal approach has improved my health and level of fitness. Prior to working with Bonnie, I endured chronic neck, back and joint pain, expending thousands of dollars to find a "cure." Bonnie's level of commitment and personalized approach to each session has made an enormous difference in the way I feel and my overall approach to my well-being. My weekly private and group sessions with her are the cure I have sought for so many years.

I have multilevel spondylosis in my cervical spine; therefore I must be careful of the type of exercises I do. I do personal training with Bonnie twice a week and that has kept me pain free and has improved my mobility in my neck at least 50%.

Bonnie knows exactly how to work with me and is extremely knowledgable of the body structure. I think it is important to have a trainer that understands how everything is connected; because of this I get the best workout possible for me. Bonnie is the best!

My life changed for the better three years ago. Just as I was approaching the mid point of the half century mark I was convinced my best body days were behind me. I decided that I wasn't going to settle for the usual workout or exercise routine...something else needed to replace what I could see I was losing. I turned first to Bonnie Bowers for an introduction to Pilates. What for me had been an obscure and "only for the celebrities" discipline, turned out to be my return to better health, self-confidence and what seems like a reversal of the laws of gravity.

I have come to look forward to my sessions with Bonnie, and now Leah, not so much as a workout in the traditional sense but more an intense time focused way to give me better posture, flexibility and stamina. After four children and now two grand kids I can thank Pilates, for making me feel and look like what my husband calls his own "celebrity."

I have participated in Leah Riggenbach's Intermediate mat class for about 6 months. She has the ability to make even the most difficult exercises seem fun and enjoyable. Leah makes an extra ordinary effort to explore alternative ways to complete challenging exercises for each student in the class. She has a unique and cheerful way of telling you how perfect your Pilates technique.

Pilates is helping me maintain my flexibility, strength and posture during my pregnancy. It has decreased the discomfort I feel with my growing belly compared to my first two children. Pilates works to reduce my stress, and I feel rejuvenated when a session ends. I know it will speed my recovery and help me regain my pre-pregnancy body once the baby is born.

Bonnie has extensive knowledge about the human body, that allows her to individualize the Pilates exercise to meet your specific needs. She is fun to work with and makes each session enjoyable.
