Clients talk about Boditree

Results! I recently started seeing Risa at Boditree Pilates and am incredibly happy with my results after only three sessions. 

I have always been an athlete, but had not taken the time to ensure I was maintaining or increasing my mobility. By working at a desk for long hours everyday, the issues compounded and I developed a neck twitch that happened once per week and then escalated to multiple times a day. 

Risa took the time to understand my movement and posture, developed a customized plan and in only three sessions my twitch has drastically improved. Im gaining more awareness of my posture, how I move my body and what exercises I specifically need to work on to continue improving. This is not a “one size fits all program” it is highly tailored and customized to your specific needs. 

Risa has been teaching classical Pilates for over two decades and has a wealth of knowledge. Her expertise and command of the subject is very impressive. 

She’s fun, energetic and reminds me of some of my favourite coaches and teachers growing up - has high expectations for herself, her studio and believes in your ability to be the best version of yourself. It’s motivating. 

Thank you Risa and team!

Starting Classical Pilates at Boditree has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. For over 30 years, I stayed “fit” through yoga and barre, but I always struggled with limited range of motion, especially in my hips and hamstrings. And nothing seemed to help. Since joining Boditree, Risa and Diana (and Karen, Olga too) have been incredibly supportive and attentive, working with me to improve my body, particularly after my pregnancy last year. I’m so grateful for their expertise and guidance. It’s been a game-changer for my overall well-being. I would give 10 stars if I could.

It’s hard for someone to understand how transformative good judgement & good understanding are until one has worked with a person like Risa. Risa could have been top 1% or top 0.1% at pretty much anything — she has the kind of intellect you only come across once every several hundred people. Fortunately for us, the career she chose was classical Pilates, so we get to see her talent applied to our wellbeing as individuals. Try Boditree and develop an understanding of how to actually move. You’ll also develop an understanding of the power of intuition and meticulousness. (Don’t mind the intense personality — it comes with just as intense a care for her clients.)

Her intuition and meticulousness also apply to how she chooses and trains her staff. You’re in good hands with anyone here.

I have a neuro degenerative condition called CMT that affects my balance, coordination, and strength. Risa and and the team at Boditree have made a custom program that hits my needs exactly. After the first couple of sessions, I could already feel that my walking was better - less foot drop, less tripping. I’m really active and it’s frustrating as I lose some of my ability. I feel that the program Risa made is helping me actually gain back ability! Swimming, cycling, sailing - even a bit of walk/run! I also work with a kinesiologist and he’s is stoked to see the gains I’ve made. It’s complimenting my strength program and allowing me to do more physically. I highly recommend Boditree.

Spectacular private with Risa at Boditree today- many lightbulb moments! Accessed more powerhouse connection and ribcage movement than I have in years. Bravo Risa - your attention to detail and optimal alignment and connection for the individual is rare. I highly recommend this studio for a true classical Pilates experience. 💥
