“Laura is a fantastic pilates instructor and all-around fitness and health reference. I have been taking classes with Laura for over 4 years. She put me in the best shape of my life leading up to the birth of my first child, which surely contributed to my short and straightforward labor, and a quick recovery to my pre-baby shape. Now Laura is helping me to regain my strength after my second child and she knows exactly how to build the areas that are so stressed and weakened from carrying a baby. Laura’s many years of experience and continuing education mean that I know I am always being challenged while being safe and moving within an appropriate range of activity. And I can count on seeing and feeling the results!”

“I recently started doing Private Pilates sessions with Laura and she is awesome! The sessions are so much fun, and she helps make sure that my form is correct by using funny and descriptive visualizations. Her upbeat personality makes the session go by so quickly - and you get a great workout! Laura is knowledgable in working with all types of bodies and physical problems.”

“Laura has been my Pilates instructor for 3 years. During that time, she has helped keep my body together during five half and two full marathons. She has consistently put my fitness goals and issues at the center of our training program, tailoring each session to my body’s needs on that particular day. She has also been a great help with my migraines: Since we’ve been working together, they’ve diminished considerably. In addition, Laura is incredibly professional, arriving prepared and on time for each appointment –and showing a remarkable willingness to accommodate my ever-shifting schedule. Most important, she makes working out fun: Our sessions fly by, and I’m always surprised when the hour is up.”

“I have been training with Laura for 7 years and nothing compares to her specificity and attention. She has changed my body, helped me overcome a back injury and made me more aware of my alignment and physical well-being in every activity. She tailors each session and exercise to the daily needs of my body, and thanks to her skills, I finally feel strong, protected, fit and healthy.”

“I have been training with Laura for a year and she has truly transformed the way I think about exercise and my body. I am a daily runner, and Laura has helped me learn how to stretch and cross-train in a way that has made me a stronger and healthier runner. Her training has also had amazing impact on my core and upper body strength, which I never had when just running! Laura is a fantastic pilates instructor — she tailors each lesson to you and how you are feeling that day. She always pushes you to have the best workout you can, and has a 100% commitment to making sure that you are doing the exercises correctly and in a way to optimize their impact. On top of all of this, she has become a great friend to me over the year. She makes the session such a pleasure... the hour always flies by and I leave feeling stronger and in a better, more relaxed mood.  I highly recommend training with Laura — whether you are looking for results in terms of strength, overall fitness, or working on shaping and toning specific areas, pilates with Laura is sure to make you successful!”

“I have been working with Laura Ashley for a few years and my posture is much improved. Since I suffer from scoliosis; Laura has helped me to learn to tailor Pilates to my specific needs. She is a fun teacher, and I always feel better after I have worked out with her. I would recommend her to anyone, as an energetic and accomplished Pilates Instructor.
