Absolute Pilates Testimonials
"I moved to Nashville 3 1/2 years ago and started Pilates in a large group setting at the community exercise center in Maryland Farms. I chose Pilates because of my high travel job and needed to stretch out my aching back! While I enjoyed it, I was continually plagued with injuries from a lack of personal attention to my form - not to mention the frustration of overcrowded classes.
I decided to join Absolute Pilates a few months later and am a HUGE fan. Small classes and personal attention are essentail to preventing injuries and getting results! I have finally been able to get my body in the shape that I have been trying to get for years! I am now 15 lbs. thinner, have no aches and pains in my back and have Gretchen and the Absolute Pilates team to thank for their inspiration and dedication to my health and fitness goal!

"I started Pilates one year ago. I am a 52 year old man, and was feeling the effects of age setting in. I had a hip that was becoming a problem and couldn't cross my left leg when I sat down. After about one month of working with Pilates, I was putting my shoes back on after a workout and found that I could cross my leg to put my shoe on. I was amazed! Pilates has given me back a dexterity to my whole body that I never want to lose."

Pilates has strengthened my back and abs, increased my confidence, and improved my posture. I highly recommend Absolute Pilates to anyone who wants (to add) definition and strength to their body or to anyone who suffers from back or neck problems."

"Having worked with weights for years, and due to numerous sports injuries, I found a need to work more on flexibility and lengthening of my muscles to rehabilitate. I tried Yoga and Pilates mat classes at the YMCA and other health clubs, but what I really have found the best results with and have also found to be the most challenging, varied, and intense workout are the pilates mat classes and private lessons at Gretchen's Absolute Pilates."
- Hank Parrott
"I enjoy Pilates more than any other exercise program I have ever tried. I have actually stayed committed to it for over a year and feel no desire to change to something else. Gretchen is a great instructor. I have increased my muscle tone and have become more flexible. I have also found jump to be a great addition to the Pilates."
