Several years ago, Lori came to my business for a health and safety event as a local ambassador of fitness here in Chicago. At the time I spoke with Lori about exercise. I was a runner and lifted machine weights with consistent pain in my back and joints. Lori explained the idea of Pilates to me so I decided to try a private training with her for the first time. The first hour with Lori changed my life.

I have been working with Lori for the past three years. She has a complete understanding of all Pilates equipment and mat, not only able to modify exercises to individuals but nuance movement to achieve specific goals. At the center, Lori delivers precise, personal, balanced, complete, and mindful hard work. She always remains calm and focused yet fun and motivating – a personality trait I had never experienced in the fitness world. I have worked with Lori in personal Pilates training and group Pilates, including her interval and TRX classes. All of Lori’s instruction over the course of a few years changed my body and my outlook toward fitness. Her classes and private training are calculated and enjoyable to attend, and I have always appreciated how reliable Lori is. Always exacting of what I need to work on and one step ahead. She is a rockstar by word of mouth, other class attendees showed up because they knew they will get a great comprehensive workout, and talked afterward that they came back weekly because of her instruction.

Lori had such an impact on my body, proprioception, and understanding of fitness that this past year I enrolled in the BASI program to gain a better understanding of the Pilates method and hope to inspire others in the same way I was inspired and driven by Lori. I cannot recommend her enough as someone who will better the lives of others, be a pleasure to work and grow with, and motivate the Pilates practice.
