“This is a terrific studio for anyone doing Pilates to promote functional mobility. I have practiced Pilates at many studios for 15 years, and CBP is unique among them and perfect for my current goals. Fran has designed the studio to complement her physical therapy practice (Durant) and I have come to admire many of her decisions. Since many CBP clients come from Durant PT, all new clients go through a Principles foundation course to teach the logic behind the different core moves of Pilates. Each month features a different focus on a different movement or part of body to review body awareness for that topic. This is not a studio that will run through the classical Joe Pilates routines on autopilot; the curriculum focuses entirely on the Pilates movements that are most relevant to everyday life and functional movement. I am especially grateful for Fran’s commitment to prenatal/postnatal clients. Prenatal/postnatal classes and Fran’s pelvic floor PT sessions are baby-friendly, and my baby absolutely loved being entertained by Sophie and Fran while I was doing my exercises. This was the only way it was possible for me to recover so well from childbirth without childcare, and will be some of my fondest memories from maternity leave. While I'm sure it would have been more profitable to cancel prenatal/postnatal class the few times when I was the only student, they never cancelled to make sure that this was an option for anyone in need of child-friendly physical wellness. (As for all other classes, get on the schedule early, as they are often full with waitlists!) I have had positive experiences with every instructor I have had at CBP — Sophie, Fran, Karin, and Heather — and have recommended CBP without hesitation to family members with chronic pain.”
