“I have been able to shed and keep off around 25 lbs, plus a couple of dress sizes! Friends and family comment regularly on my physical transformation, but, even more importantly, the amount of confidence and strength I have regained is immeasurable. I highly recommend Blayne to be your fitness coach, your encourager, and your personal cheerleader.”

“I’ve had a bad back for as long as I can remember. Pilates with Blayne has kept my back (and core) healthy and strong! Blayne is easy to work with and makes it fun. I always look forward to my twice-weekly sessions with her.”

“I was skeptical of taking fitness classes online at first but her online classes are equally as good as her studio classes. She is meticulous; watching our moves, all of us through Zoom video, paying attention to the posture of each one of us. It is just like taking her class in the studio where she walks around and corrects and adjusts our movements.”

“I have been taking weekly classes with Blayne for more than 10 years, in studio, and now, virtually. Blayne is an exceptional instructor. Blayne's classes are well thought out and consistently challenging, with modifications to ensure a great workout whatever your level. Without fail, at the end of class, I feel longer, stronger, and more limber. Blayne provides a truly incredible mind-body experience that's also lots of fun!”

Susan G. (age 54)

“The effects on my body of studying Pilates with Blayne become immediately evident, inside (better balance; more awareness of how my my core strength informs every other part of my body, and how everything flows into everything else) and out (more streamlined legs, in particular; better posture and general form). I had studied Pilates one-on-one with her for about 4 years a while back, and recently started again. I missed working with her!”

“I used to think that the pandemic would prevent me from keeping my healthy and active lifestyle, until a chance encounter over the summer with my favorite fitness instructor. Since then, I have been training with Blayne and I am happy to say that my lifestyle is back on track. Blayne is a triple-threat in the fitness world.”

“I started taking Blayne’s barre and spinning classes in person almost ten years ago. She’s a positive and fun fitness instructor, but also incredibly knowledgeable and puts together a perfectly challenging workout every time, mixing all the many areas of her expertise. Her classes are uniquely hers and she’s always true to her personality with positive reassurance that you are strong enough to do much more than you ever thought you were capable of.”

Lainnie G.

“As with a good many of us now working remotely from home, no longer having our ergonomic workstations; my shoulders & low back have been hurting. Blayne had me start walking at least 3,000 steps per day and I take her Sunday morning Melt class. Taking the class helps to solidify the Melt techniques because BLAYNE has an exceptional way of describing and queuing the techniques, I am able to remember & do them correctly.”

Gloria

“She is not just a dynamic instructor who knows Pilates' teachings, she plans her classes to achieve elasticity, flexibility, and realignment. Her routines vary but the core remains the same. There is something in the sequence of her exercises that allows my body to get stronger and open up and give into the flow at the same time. There is no other Pilates class that has ever done that for me (and I used to take 5 a week, pre-COVD times).”

“Taking Pilates consistently twice a week helped to improve my strength and also helped to eliminate my pain and discomfort. After more than 10 years....I am stronger and continue to build my strength physically and mentally! Strongly recommend Blayne’s class ... it is a lifesaver!”

“Blayne has the rare ability to use her voice to calmly, cheerfully and consistently instruct and coax you through the Pilates exercises while imparting a wealth of information she has culled from a myriad of disciplines and which help the student to translate that to a striving for perfect form and an ever-increasing strength through length.”

“I have never been a particularly coordinated person and often lack balance, but Blayne’s instruction has changed all that. I have limbered up, toned my arms and thighs, have much more control of my body, have much more energy and less stress, and have had success in eliminating my back pain.”

“Blayne's class is undeniably her class; her fun personality, her attention to detail, her passion for the body and seeing her clients improve week-to-week all radiate, even through Zoom on my laptop!”

“Every time I see her, she always makes my body feel so great. After an hour session with her once a week, my body feels so free and strong.

Blayne is also such a kind and caring person and she makes our pilates session so much fun.”

“Blayne sometimes leaves NYC to tour nationally with a theatre company or perform at a regional theatre. Each time, I continued Pilates with other trainers. But, I always return to Blayne. The reasons are that she is thoughtful, caring and plans ahead to meet my needs. She is exceptional.”

“Blayne has done an amazing job of increasing my flexibility and strength using both Pilates and the Melt technique. One of the things that I appreciate most about Blayne are her skills as a teacher - she’s always clear, patient and makes sure that I understand the concepts."
