Pilates Reformer has easily been the most challenging yet rewarding workout I've ever done. It's improved my strength, posture and flexibility in ways a mere trip to the weight room never could.

I am getting younger! I have lost 15 lbs, 2.5-3 pants sizes; have increased my strength, energy, coordination and balance. I have also greatly lowered my cholesterol and a returned from a barely elevated blood pressure to a normal BP. These exercise routines have enhanced other types of activities including swimming, cycling and paddleball and even made easier some heavy lifting required at my business. My wife notices the changes in the shape of my body and muscle tone. Need I say more!

Since working on the Pilates Reformer I feel that I have more strength & flexibility overall. I used to suffer from lower back pain and the exercises strengthened my back and abs. I feel as if Pilates exercise energizes me, unlike weight lifting that takes energy away.

Starting off on my journey to health two and a half years ago I was barely able to work on the bikes and couldn't walk the treadmill. Now I exercise in classes five days a week. I credit Patty with giving me the courage & motivation to get this far. I participate in Patty's yoga & Pilates group classes, and also personal train with her. Patty has a calm demeanor. She gives precise instructions that make sense. She gives enough time for starting and ending a class with stretching. Patty has the incredible ability to make me feel that even in a group class she is talking to me personally. She knows what I'm going through, and what muscles are working in my body at any time. Patty is the best there is!

I started training on the Pilates Reformer with Patty Maraldo over 2 years ago. She is so easy to work with especially when struggling with new exercises. I progressed rapidly. When in class with Patty you feel like you are training one-on-one although there often 6 clients in the room. Her routine is so smoothly executed the session is almost painless! My core has become exceptionally strong and my tight hamstrings are actually becoming more flexible. This has helped me become more efficient and very effective in my extremely disciplined strength training routine. The addition of Pilates has made the difference in my body that I have been looking for. At 46 years old I have never felt better it is thanks to Patty Maraldo.
Victoria Fries, ACE Certified Personal Trainer (Training with Patty since 2003)
Patty is a very informed, attentive, careful instructor. I have taken semi-private Pilates reformer group classes, one-on-one reformer sessions, and group strengthen and stretch classes with Patty. She is the best teacher bar none. She is always prepared. The classes are never boring and always challenging. She is also attentive to everyone's individual and always changing needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My strength and endurance have increased and I owe it all to her.
Susanne Giarraputo (Training with Pattys Programs since 2000)
I know that Pattys Programs have changed me inside and out. I feel balanced and straighter when I stand, sit or walk. I feel like my inner spirit has been worked and calmed down. I feel more connected physically as well as mentally. I have taken off inches and whittled my body in all the right places. The one thing that I love about Patty's group classes is that she can look around the room and give instruction as if she were speaking solely to me. She keys in and tells me to move a certain muscle that makes me work better and feel better. I really believe she is a sculptress in disguise! I believe I will continue to do Pilates for the rest of my life because of what Patty has taught me.

I took Pilates classes for close to 4 years. During that time I worked with 5 different instructors. But working with Patty was a different experience--she is not an instructor, she is a teacher. Her knowledge surpassed the others but her ability to communicate it is what really separates her from the other instructors. Patty conducts her classes with both professionalism and personal involvement. I was so fortunate to be able to learn from her & benefit from her extraordinary talent & expertise.
