Pilates was always something I wanted to try, but was intimated by the look of the equipment. I finally gave it a try with Amy and have fallen in love with it....perfect for my 'maturing' body with flexibility and strengthening work that Amy tailors to me. It varies each time, based on my condition that day. Nothing is a 'standard' routine. As a physician, I looked closely at the credentials of the Pilates instructors in the area before making a decision and am glad I did. I thought I knew anatomy! Amy has an amazing fund of knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of our bodies and applies this knowledge to my workouts in a way I haven't experienced before. I highly recommend anyone of any age to try Pilates and more highly recommend Amy as the instructor to choose.

If I could give 10 stars I would. After chronic backpain for over 10 years and exhausting all other options - I finally found Amy and Aladden Pilates and my life will never be the same. I felt "chronically" better and stronger within weeks. I have been trying to control my back pain for over 10 years and who knew lengthening and strengthening was the missing link I only wish I had found Amy sooner. Not only has she helped my body heal, Amy gives a killer workout and I noticed physical changes within the first month. Today I live relatively pain free most days and when I have a flare up, Amy gives me a nice restorative session and I am back to normal overnight. She has also given me tools to use at home. Amy has a great team of instructors with her, all of which I'd personally recommend.

Not only is Amy a wonderful Pilates guru, she has become a friend. Do yourself a favor and go check Amy and her studio out!

In a few short months, Amy has me feeling healthier and younger. Amy is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and applies this expertise to your Pilates workout so you get the most out of your session. She keeps you challenged and laughing so the hour flies. My Pilates workouts are a highlight of my week and I never miss a session.

I've been working with Amy over the last several months while in Florida. Amy has improved my strength and conditioning though Pilates. I find her technique superior to my previous Pilates instructors. In fact, I plan to find a Stott trained instructor when I leave for the summer. Amy has excellent coaching technique, attention to detail and a great sense of humor.

Amy is skilled at working with all ages, genders and body types. She really helped me rehab from back and knee injuries. Her years of experience and ability to personalize workouts according to client needs rank her miles above any other trainer or pilates instructor I've ever worked with. She knows how to vary the workouts and keep it interesting, and she's got a GREAT sense of humor!

Amy Ladden at Aladden Pilates is literally changing my life through the private sessions I take with her. I'm new to Pilates. There were so many choices to consider (I work in science, and did a fair amount of research going into it). I'm so glad I was drawn to this sassy, impeccably clean studio, and to an instructor who has a remarkably humble, rock-solid mastery over the Pilates discipline (that part is obvious) but who is also exceptionally knowledgeable about body mechanics in general. I have scoliosis and have sought out LOTS of diverse experts through the years. I have a large data set in this regard. Amy's knowledge and careful, informed approach is helping me achieve gains I never thought I'd see; it's astounding to watch my body strengthen and shift week after week. She listens hard, watches keenly, and manages to make the 'burn' fun -- ensuring an optimal session each and every time. The studio lives up to its tagline that Pilates is for every body. I'm proof, and I'm hooked. If you want to invest in your health and your strength, give it a shot. Thanks Amy!

I had never done Pilates before but am I ever glad I did! Amy and Mirijam are fantastic! When you come in, you’ll get lots of great coaching. What you WON’T get- attitude or judgment. I’ve been coming regularly for about a year now and my body has definitely changed for the better! Whether you’ve done Pilates before or it’s your first time, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!
