Pilates Pro Works, Alexandria

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

At PPW, all of our classes are a 55-minute music-fueled, full body workout using slow & controlled moves combining resistance, lengthening, and strength training. We offer a program that combines weight-bearing activity, cardio training and stretching to create a unique experience that torches calories and will sculpt your body in ways other methods cannot.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

I wanted a place that offered hard-core but low impact workout that was open & welcoming to all who want to participate. This is a workout unlike I had ever tried before.

What do you love most about your job?

I work in a place where people want to be, they choose to include us in their daily lives and they are happy to be there. It's contagious and makes me bring my best to every day.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

"I used to hate exercise and now I love it, I'm addicted. You have changed my life - all for the better."
