Kathy Dubansky and I've been fitness adjacent and been an instructor of kickboxing, and I've done a lot of weight training, all kinds of stuff, but have really honed in on trying to do things that are more, um, gentle as I have gotten a little older and have been into Pilates, especially reformer for about four years or so, I guess as long as I've been doing it with Carla.
Everybody always talks about, “I need to get back into this. I need to build this up. I feel like I've let my strength training go. I do other things, maybe, but I need to work on my strength.” I have recommended Carla quite a few times because I know that it's a great fit, and I can speak to it and say that I've had great experience here. There's also some folks that are either older than me or they're, they're worried about getting into a new fitness routine. I know it can be daunting for some people, but Carla is so welcoming and you can do individual classes and maybe start individually and then go into a larger class setting, but the larger classes for people. So you're always getting the attention you need and kind of just slowly and surely move into things. And Carla's also really good about knowing if you are more of a beginner. She sets your machine and your, your, your settings to be reflective of that and make sure she's meeting you with where you're at. And then to continue to build you.
Carla just guides you through it and makes sure that you're challenging yourself and you're bumping it up. That's what I recommend to folks that are looking for a different type of activity to build their strength, especially core strength, I think is really helpful. I know a lot of people that just don't want to do the get up, get down, jump. They want to, you know, less impactful workout. And so I have recommended several people that actually now I go to class with because they are regulars. I absolutely recommend her for that.
