Pilates has not only changed my body but given me great confidence. I feel great, I love the way my body continues to change with the help of my Pilates workout. It works every muscle in the body, I have never had a better workout. I look forward to every session with Mari and Bianca, they are tough but in the best way. They get results and that is all care about. I am so glad to have found Better Body Pilates because I will have the best body for my upcoming wedding in October, thanks for kicking my butt into shape, quite literally!

I am a 68 year old grandmother, who was advised by my daughter, Karen, to try Pilates because she thought it was so worthwhile. I am a dedicated treadmill walker & didn’t know anything about the program. I was skeptical & didn’t know if I would enjoy it. Karen attended the BetterBody Studio in Agoura, and even though I live in Granada Hills, I made the trip there. After about three months of exercise, I began to feel a difference. I could feel my body strength, flexibility & balance improve. And when BetterBody opened in Calabasas, I changed to that studio, because it was a little closer to my home. I have been doing Pilates regularly for six years & when my friends ask why I am so committed to the program, I tell them how much better it makes me feel. The entire staff is terrific. I have worked with the same wonderful instructor for two years, and I warned her that she is stuck with me. - Helen Parker, February 2007
Dara is a very skilled and dedicated instructor. She is extremely conscientious and methodical. Since working with her I have developed strength and endurance. Dara pushes me to reach my potential and my goals. She has helped me get in touch with my body while building self-confidence. Pilates was once a chore but now is vigorating and fun! - Joy Reed, February 2007
I believe in growing old gracefully. I eat well, I don’t drink or smoke and I exercise regularly. But there were always those “areas” of my healthy body that I wanted to change, erase, diminish. You know… a bit off my thighs, a bit off my arms, and a bit off my tummy. Pilates has not only streamlined these areas, it has made me so much stronger and I am not in need of the back surgery my doctors suggested 2 years ago after a very serious car accident. I am strong, I have no back pain, I look fabulous (In and out of my clothes) and I feel like I’m getting better every year, rather than breaking down like so many do in their 40’s. I look forward to many years of graceful growing with pilates. Thank You BetterBody! - Wendi Eckstein, February 2007
I have been taking pilates classes intermittently for the past five years. I believe pilates is the best workout to tone your body without adding bulk. It elongates your muscles and strengthens your core. I appreciate a workout that is not repetitive and challenges me to go a little farther. I have taken lessons at many studios and I am staying with BetterBody because I get the results I want. - Elizabeth Ribbons, February 2007
"Not liking to exercise at all, I started taking private lessons at betterbody approximately one and a half years ago to get in shape and relieve pain that I have from a sciatic condition. To my surprise, I found relief from my pain almost immediately. Mari, my trainer, could not be more supportive or patient...she is always very professional but at the same time, compassionate and understanding. I could not be more happy with my progress and for the first time in my life, I actually look forward to my sessions with Mari." - Sheila Schwartz, February 2007
| "Pilates changed the way I feel about fitness. It also changed the shape of my body! For me, it's meditative, and at the same time, a great workout.It's both physically and intellectual challenging, and I love that. Maricar's enthusiasm for the work is contagious, and I find myself working hard, and having fun at the same time." - Elizabeth Grossman, January 2001 |

"Four years ago I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis, at approximately the same time I started taking Pilates with Maricar two to three times a week. After a year of Pilates my Osteoporosis had been reduce to Osteopenia. The most recent Bone Density Scan I had had shown a complete reversal of the Osteoporosis after continued Pilates." - Valerie Collier, April 2000
"After suffering a stroke from open heart surgery in 1997, I began lookingfor an alternative program to strengthen and improve my balance and self confidence. I met Aggie and she immediately recognized what I needed. She is one of those very rare individuals that makes you feel special and customizes your workout for each session. I have benefited so much from her and would highly recommend Aggie to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves. I have not had a single session with Aggie that wasn’t helpful and exciting" - Scott Goldie, December 2003
"I came to Aggie not having been able to work out for almost 2 years. I had a herniated disc which limited my ability to exercise. In the last year I have worked with Aggie to strengthen my back and improve my posture. I am stronger, tighter and I feel great!" - Joanne Mednick M.F.T., January 2004
"I have been exercising for the past 16 years. I started taking Pilates at BetterBody with Maricar 4 years ago. It has been the most beneficial for me. Pilates has helped my scoliosis and totally reshaped my body. If I had the time to do it more than 3 times a week I would. I am obsessed with it!!!!" - Resa Firestone
