A fitness program for everybody.

Private and duet training sessions designed using Pilates methods and equipment, tailored for each individual.

what is pilates

The Pilates method is a unique system of strengthening exercises developed over 100+ years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. It strengthens and tones muscles, improves posture, flexibility, and balance. It unites body and mind and creates a more streamlined shape.

Pilates exercises as a whole develop strong abdominal, back, glut, and deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system and act as the powerhouse of the body.

Pilates is also an excellent rehabilitation system for back, knee, hip, shoulder and repetitive stress injuries. Pilates addresses the body as a whole. Correcting the body’s asymmetries and chronic weaknesses, to prevent re-injury and bring the body back into balance.

happy clients

Simply put, Caroline believes in Pilates and she believes in you. I’ve regained strength and flexibility I thought I’d lost with age and injury. Caroline fills each upbeat session with instruction and guidance on form, personalizes expectations, and offers suggestions on what you can do between sessions. Her encouragement, and just the right amount of push, keeps you progressing week to week to be your best self.

Kristen

I have been doing weekly “Zoom Pilates” with Caroline since the beginning of Covid! Honestly, it’s been fantastic and incredibly convenient for my small group of friends (who live all over the place). She is very organized and professional which I love as a busy person – like sending out motivational reminders about class every week and always starting class on time. Caroline keeps each class fresh, fun, and at the same time she is totally focused on giving us a full body Pilates work out. It’s been two almost two years, my core is strong and I think my arms look great for pushing 60! Love my Caroline Pilates!

Anne

I have been working with Caroline weekly for going on three years. Caroline and her sessions have been instrumental in supporting my passion for running and Triathlon. She has been a crucial member of my team, allowing me to achieve my athletic goals which include the completion of multiple Ironman Triathlons and ultra running events. She is engaging and motivating, and her cues and attention to form are spot on. She is a gift and I am so grateful to her!

Laurie

I can not say enough good things about Caroline! I have been working with her for over 10 years and I am always impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and caring style. Every workout is different, challenging and fun. They always feel like just what my body needs. Caroline has helped me stay strong to succeed in my physical job, and enjoy my active lifestyle.

Sally

I’ve been training with Caroline Spencer for ten+ years. And I can say that she quite literally changed my life. Prior to working with Caroline, my exercise routine could best be described as “sporadic”. However, from the first time I worked with her, I felt an exhilaration that is hard to describe. Caroline is not only skilled at training with Pilates equipment, she is also incredibly intuitive and sensitive to her individual clients’ needs. She innately knows how far to “push” without discouraging me, so my development has been continuous and steady. I am so much stronger and healthier now at age 67 than I was in my late 50s! She is the best!
