WholeBody Pilates - Mission, Kansas

I'd never been on a Reformer before (just tried mat Pilates in the past), so I decided to try a class here about nine months ago, because it was closest to me. I was instantly hooked. I now come 2-3 times a week and my body has changed so much. I am stronger, more toned, more flexible, more stable, my core is much stronger and my butt is much more lifted! (I do lift weights and walk, so it's not just pilates I'm doing).

My doctor "measured" me with a special scale before I started Pilates and after 4 months and I'd lost 2.4% body fat and gained 1% of muscle. I can't wait to see what it will be like after a full year!

Dana was my intro to Pilates teacher via 3 private sessions, and Lee is my class teacher. Lee gives so much variety, that I truly can't believe the Reformer and do everything it can. Her creativity amazes me. I am a convert for life!

By the end of last year I lost over 4 inches on my waist. Had to take in a bunch pants and buy new clothes. I can tell you now I'll be doing Pilates the rest of my life. Love this little studio.

This is my second year at Whole Body Pilates. This year I've moved away from lifting heavy weights at the community center to more pilates three or more days a week, often doubling up a morning workout with an evening pilates class or vice versa. In the last four months of my experiment, I've noticed quite a difference. While pilates is small movements and lower weight, overall I'm stronger and upped my bench press to 90lbs - without a spotter. Considering how much it costs for a personal trainer or a gym membership even, group classes are affordable, the facility is clean and you can work at your own level. A bonus for me is I'm able to walk longer distance without an ankle brace as many of the pilates moves have improved ankle stability over time. I used to think yoga was my thing, but now I'm a pilates convert.

Dana and Lee strive to ensure each class is challenging, fun and truly impacts the whole body. After 5 months, I am stronger and feel 100% physically and mentally.

Small classes with lots of personal attention. You can feel and see the difference in your every day life. Plus the reformer machines are fun to use!
