REDUCING PAIN:

I am 61 years old and have suffered from lower back pain almost all of my life; in fact I was a month away from having back surgery when I was encouraged to give training with Michelle Cottle a try. I had never done Pilates or anything like it when I started Gyrotonic exercise training with Michelle. I was able to notice a difference in my posture and a decrease in pain within a couple of months. Michelle’s knowledge and experience, coupled with great patience, has enabled me to eliminate chronic pain and cancel back surgery. I am so grateful for finding Michelle, the workout she offers is like no other. There are a lot of “pilates” studios around, however, I cannot imagine that there is an instructor as dedicated and knowledgeable about the human body and its systems as Michelle. I highly recommend training with Michelle, especially if you have an injury or problem area you would like to strengthen. ~ John G., Real Estate Developer

Michelle Cottle is a superb teacher. She has helped me use Pilates to correct longstanding postural problems that caused me significant pain. I look better, I feel much better, and I am very grateful!
~ Mary D., PhD, Asst. Professor, Basic Science, UConn Health Center

At first I signed on to rid myself of back problems resulting from a horseback riding accident. Although my back was better long ago (thanks to Michelle) I've stayed with Pilates and Gyrotonic and enjoy weekly workouts. The flexibility and strength I've gained working with Michelle have been amazing. Unlike running and horseback riding, the conditioning is all encompassing. Michelle is a great trainer - insightful and fun to work with - I'm hooked. ~ Frank G., Bond Trader


FEELING AND LOOKING BETTER:

After moving out of NYC, I didn't think that I would be able to find a high quality GYROTONIC® exercise teacher. I searched on the internet and took a chance with Michelle Cottle. I learn a great deal from her at every session and always leave feeling much better than when I arrive. She is a great communicator, very knowledgeable, and always interested in learning more. I highly recommend her!

AMAZING! - I'm 43 years old, but I feel at least 10 years younger. I may have found the real "Fountain of Youth". I felt better after my first session with Michelle, and have progressively improved since then. Each session is physically and mentally stimulating, and I really like the personal attention Michelle puts into each session. Here's the Bottom Line: If you want to feel better, go see Michelle.
~ Scott T., Plumbing Design Department Head

Working with Michelle is wonderful! I believe that Gyrotonic has literally created more space in my body resulting in fuller breathing, greater flexibility, and the almost total elimination of niggling aches and pains.
~ Bambi L., Office Manager

Due to Michelle, I have the tone I always wanted and I keep finding more strength through every class. ~ W.S., Gyrotonic/Pilates devotee

AGING GRACEFULLY:

I knew I had to do something to get stronger as I got older, especially when I started tripping and falling more often than I liked. I decided to give Gyrotonic exercise a try. Working with Michelle (who is a pleasure to work with) has clearly improved my balance, flexibility, and muscle tone. She is closely attuned to what I can do without hurting myself yet challenges me always to go farther than I think I can. Now if I start to fall, I can catch myself. What a relief! People notice that I look taller and thinner and more graceful. Who wouldn't want that?

Michelle Cottle is a highly gifted Pilates instructor, sensitive and insightful. She has become the trusted guide on my journey of self-discovery as I gradually become more attuned to the genius of my own body.

Working with Michelle has been a rewarding and, at times, a surprising experience. I feel stronger and more coordinated, hitting more powerful serves - MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCOMOTIVE! - and stretching for more hard-to-reach shots - ABLE TO LEAP TALL BUILDINGS IN A SINGLE BOUND! - Although I'm not really quite up to SUPERMAN status, I am surprised at my feeling younger and more adept at my ripe age of 67. ~ Chuck T., Professor and Tennis Player

What I like best about working with Michelle is her focus and her commitment to my improvement. At 68, I continue to get stronger. I never would have imagined this possible. ~ Paula W., Horseback Rider

IMPROVING SCOLIOSIS:

When I started Pilates and Gyrotonic lessons, I didn't realize what a direct impact it would have on my scoliosis. That was an added bonus! My back is stronger, and my spine straighter and more flexible than it has ever been in my entire life. ~ Liz W., C.S.W.

PREGNANCY SUPPORT:

Michelle has been working with me throughout my pregnancy. She is extremely knowledgable with how exercise and motions affect the body. She has been an excellent teacher and partner in helping my body maintain flexibility and feel relaxed. I trust her 100%.
~ Cyndi A., Expectant Mother

I started working with Michelle shortly after I moved to Westchester, when I was 7 months pregnant. Although I had been doing Pilates prior, none of it had been pre-natal. Working with Michelle using those techniques specific to the pregnant body relieved a lot of the typical pregnancy pains, such as my backache and joint pain, and definitely contributed to my stomach flattening shortly after giving birth.
