Pilates with Riki

Riki was recommended to me by a physical therapist who personally took classes with her - I thought, she must be pretty good. I was wrong - she’s amazing! Not only does she pay amazingly close attention to ever small movement she recommends for you, Riki is also an incredibly nice and warm person to train with. I recommend any and every kind of class with her - on line, one on one or anything she has available 😊

Riki is an amazing Pilates instructor. I have done Pilates classes with her for over three years, and have never had a moment's hesitation about her knowledge of Pilates and her ability to lead a challenging but doable Pilates class for beginners through advanced participants. She is clear in her instruction, with excellent reminders about nuances of posture and positioning. Her pacing is great, and her demeanor is cheerful and encouraging. And she has a sense of humor! As a result of taking classes with her regularly, I am much stronger in my core and legs, am well-toned, and I have better balance and posture. I highly recommend Pilates with Riki.

Riki’s private lessons are amazing! She is great at listening to my goals and areas to work on, and tailors the exercises to those needs. I can see progress and strength building after each session! Highly recommend either private or group lessons with Riki.

I’ve been taking Pilates with Riki on Zoom for over a year, and I really enjoy her classes. There’s enough repetition to be able to learn the exercises, but enough variety to keep things interesting. She’s good at offering options to make the exercises easier or more challenging, so each person in the class can do the version that provides the right amount of challenge for them. I do my favorite warm-ups from class every morning, and I’ve gotten stronger and more flexible.

Riki is amazing, plain and simple. Her home and her studio is bright, clean and welcoming. She is kind and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about her craft. She is clearly passionate about Pilates and passing this on to others with all the health benefits and joy that comes with it. I had my first session last week and despite being a bit nervous about my deconditioning and being out of shape, Riki put me at ease immediately and helped me gain confidence with each exercise. After one session I felt leaner and stronger, as crazy as that sounds, but it's true. I carried myself differently after that session with more body awareness and confidence than I've had in years. The session was challenging yet fun and Riki is a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do Pilates at any level and not in a group class or gym setting. I wanted one on one instruction and it was absolutely a great decision. I will definitely be buying more sessions. Worth every penny!!
