"Over the past 18 months, Marla has helped me rediscover and reinvent myself. My back pain is gone, and my entire body has changed. Strength, posture and muscle tone all have improved by light years and my bone density has actually increased at age 50."   —Sandra Younger, Pilates client

"What could be worse than this? The day before you leave for a long-anticipated Hawaiian vacation, you aggravate a chronic back injury and spend your entire trip either flat in bed, facedown on a massage table or parboiled in a Jacuzzi trying to regain your mobility. When it happened to me, the message was loud and clear: it was time to get serious about getting back into shape.

"A previous bout with chronic back pain had taken me through the best suggestions of both conventional and holistic medicine. Then someone suggested Pilates. I'd tried it for a few months with great results. Now I was ready to make a long-term commitment.

"My search for a new Pilates instructor led me to Marla Bingham. At our first session, I was outright embarrassed by my physical state. "This is not my body," I told her. Marla seemed to understand. "You can get it back," she promised, and she was right. Over the past 18 months, Marla has helped me rediscover - and reinvent - myself. My back pain is gone, and my entire body has changed. Strength, posture and muscle tone all have improved by light years. I'm half an inch taller than before, and my bone density has actually increased - at age 50.

"I attribute the changes to Pilates, but more specifically, to Marla's amazing expertise. Her life-long experience as an athlete and professional dancer, combined with her astonishing knowledge of the entire PIlates repertoire, place her in a class all her own. She knows exactly how to adapt a workout to meet individual needs and build capability. To me, the results - in terms of appearance, physical health and emotional well-being - are well worth the investment. As a bonus, Marla's become a good friend. Maybe that Hawaiian vacation wasn't wasted after all."

Sandra Younger

"I have been training with Marla for about eighteen months, and at 51 years old am in the best shape of my life. I work out twice a week with a partner and Marla puts us through a well-rounded routine that is very challenging. I have scoliosis and started Pilates with the goal of improving my posture; the results have been remarkable. I also have lupus and there are days when my energy level is quite low. At such times exercise is beneficial, but I have to be very careful not to overdo it or the exercise will have a negative impact on me. One of the traits I really appreciate with Marla is her intuition. She can tell when my energy is low and adjusts the workout accordingly. I don't even have to tell her how I am feeling. I have done many forms of exercise over the years, including weight lifting, aerobics, running and bicycling. I could never understand what an endorphin rush was all about until I started Pilates. The Pilates workout is so incredibly satisfying; after a workout, I often feel giddy and on top of the world. It is so much more than exercise. Pilates requires a mind/body connection that transcends any type of exercise and is hard to put into words. And Marla has similar qualities that are hard to explain. She brings so much wisdom to her clients. The workouts reflect Marla's dance experience, her knowledge of exercise and her uncanny perceptions about people. Marla exudes a quiet serenity that is confident and regal, but not intimidating. Besides being an exceptional Pilates instructor, she is a warm and caring person. I wouldn't work out with anyone else"
