“Hi, Trish. As I told you on Friday, I fell off my porch trying to repair a slat in my patio ceiling. I was reaching for the gutter, missed, and landed on my side. I was lucky not to hurt myself aside from a strain in my thoracic back. I truly believe that if I had not been doing pilates, and gotten stronger as a result, I would have seriously hurt myself. I also feel stronger hiking, my knees track better and legs are stronger going down hill. Thanks for your instruction and help.”

“I credit ReVibe with helping me work through my injuries from a cycling crash last September and with helping me get my focus back through weekly Pilates classes. These two are really the best at what they do. And I should know. Thanks you two for what you do!”

“The 2009 USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships was held at the 7-Eleven Velodrome in Colorado Springs during the week of August 18. The two months leading up to Nationals I was dragging myself to the Velodrome and at the same time dreading the thought of a lack luster performance. However, the evening of August 20 proved differently. I managed to win a coveted Stars-and-Stripes jersey by dominating my top competitor in the Points Race. The next morning turned out to be another fast day of racing as I posted a new world record time of 13.55 seconds for women 55 – 59 in the Flying 200-Meter Time Trial. That time gave me the top seeding position for the Match Sprints later that evening. In a best of three rides I took two straight wins and earned another Stars-and-Stripes jersey!
I attribute part my success with two Master Track titles in 2009 to thirty years of racing experience. The other part of that winning formula was adding a weekly Pilates reformer class to my conditioning routine. To make a comparison, in 2002, at age 50, I set my first world record in the Flying 200-Meter Time Trial with a time of 12.95 seconds. I trained smart on the bike and had a strict conditioning program. Now, seven years older, age 57, I have set another world record and have been training smart again. However, this time I attribute my new record to the conditioning help I have received from ReVibe Pilates & Bodywork. The core conditioning on the ‘reformer’, under the guidance of Trish Stahl, made critical improvements in my muscle endurance and power transmission. Endurance and power are important because they help me sustain an extremely high intensity effort that is needed to accelerate the track bike and maintain top end speed during a Flying 200-Meter effort and the endurance needed for multiple rounds of match sprinting.
Another component I utilized was ReVibes’ Bodywork. Periodic sessions with massage therapist Kenny Stahl kept my muscles recovered and relaxed. Also, lymphatic work on an injury to my left knee a month away from the Championships provided needed relief and healing to get me ‘back on track’.
Thanks to ReVibe for making my 2009 Nationals a rewarding success.”

“I am and have always been a very non-athletic, sedentary person. In high school I was an encyclopedia of successful excuses to get out of gym class. …sadder still became the state of my middle-aged body. I tend to gather tension in my upper back and neck and I was increasingly more stiff and inflexible.
Instead of becoming a lady who walks with grace and fluidity, I saw myself becoming an indistinguishable member of a petrified forest. The real fear was that I was more prone to injury. Obviously, something had to be done.
It was with mixed emotions I entered Trish’s ReVibe Pilates & Bodywork studio. Because she listened carefully and explained Pilates to me I decided to try it. Pilates with Trish is not what I thought exercise would be like. She’s knowledgeable, considerate, warm, fun and wonderfully patient. She’s answered all my questions. Trish is a great teacher and made me feel comfortable and safe. Each workout has been efficient, effective and fun and the hour always goes by too quickly.
Ten sessions later I am grateful and happy that I chose to do this. The results have been better and quicker than I expected, and I am an impatient person. I feel and see a big difference and so does my husband. My posture’s improved, I walk more easily, the stiffness and tension are gone and I’m stronger everywhere. It’s amazing how powerfully this has impacted me physically, emotionally and mentally. To say this has done me a world of good is an understatement, but it’ll have to do. I just want to say, I love Pilates with Trish!”

Trish took the time to work with me in a group setting – but tailored the exercises to my physical limitations. They are incredible and really know what Pilates is all about.”
