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

_ Pilates with Beth offers private, duet, and small group Pilates equipment classes. I believe that Pilates with Beth stands apart from the competition as a result of my teaching style and the environment of my studio. I personally guide each student in attaining their best form, which allows a safe experience and the ultimate success in reaching their goals. I also intentionally keep my group classes small in order to provide an intimate, fun, non-intimidating setting in which my clients can enjoy an all-around fantastic Pilates experience._

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Two things inspired me to found Pilates with Beth: my passion for teaching Pilates and my desire to provide my clients with my highest level of service. For years I taught at gyms and large studios which led me to realize that I wanted to create an appropriate space for my clients and I to comfortably settle into. My studio is a result of that vision - it is a place where my clients are uninhibited in stretching their physical limits...a place that allows me to fully focus on each client and be the best instructor that I can be. I am proud to have created this atmosphere that we all look forward to visiting each week.

What do you love most about your job?

I wholeheartedly love instructing Pilates because of the amazing people that come into my life and allow me to make a difference in theirs. I love that I have the opportunity each day to guide my clients through this unique method of movement that is gentle, yet challenging, that allows you to get to know your body better and move more efficiently, that promotes confidence as you begin to feel stronger and happier. I love that you don't have to be skinny, flexible, or in shape to begin, because it works with your individual needs and that you will always feel better at the end of your session.

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

I feel very fortunate to receive positive reactions from my clients weekly. A recent example of one such reaction was a new client who thanked me at the end of her session for helping her finally feel better. She stated that she had tried many different classes to improve some ongoing physical issues, but that Pilates was the first thing to allow her to feel a positive difference. It is not uncommon for clients to tell me that they feel better after their first session, as pilates generates both physical and mental rewards that remain with you even after you leave the studio!
