“Every class at Pilates Palm Springs is like a private session. Susan and her wonderfully talented teachers carefully watch each participant, make modifications to suit your needs and ensure that you always feel better after a session. ...I love their expert approach to Pilates.”
“The studio is a center for excellence. I appreciate the dedication and professionalism of all the teachers and their insistence on practices of quality. I also appreciate their deep humanity and concern for students. The work is sometimes challenging but always, always rewarding.
“I wasn’t just looking for a workout. I needed to find a studio that challenged my mind, as well as my body. I am so happy I found Pilates Palm Springs - small semi-private classes, and the individual attention and correction you won’t find at the other studios in the area. If you want to become stronger, leaner and more focused with your practice, you should definitely check out Pilates Palm Springs.”
“I’ve been going to Pilates Palm Springs for about 15 years. The teachers are always top notch, and highly trained to teach “real Pilates”, not “exercise Pilates”, and my body responds with toning and muscles I didn’t know I had before. At 73, I’m in the best shape of my life. There is a strong understanding of body mechanics and clear and concise cuing. And they make it fun!”
“I have been with Susan Salk and her well trained team for 12 years! Because the Pilates work varies from week to week, I always feel new challenges. Susan & her teachers are good about spot checking my form, which encourages me to try even harder. Lastly, I enjoy the bonus of a friendly & welcoming atmosphere from the teachers and other attendees. The Pilates Palm Springs studio feels like my home away from home and I appreciate all that it offers.”
“Challenging and Knowledgeable yet caring. These qualities—oftentimes hard to find at fitness studios and exercise classes—are evident in every instructor at Pilates Palm Springs. Classes are small and intimate so you feel as if you are getting one-on-one training. I credit the studio and my Pilates practice with enhanced strength and balance as well as the elimination of any and all back pain and spasms, which I suffered for years. Can’t recommend Susan and the studio more highly!”
“It is with pleasure, (and a little challenge), that I attempt to describe what Susan Salk’s Pilates Palm Springs studio offers to me. Words are tough to choose for feelings!
There are “regulars” who have come for decades. I am lucky, a friend led me to the PS Pilates family maybe 3 years ago. The studio encompasses a lifetime of experience, education and knowledge of the arts related to movement, flexibility, healing and maintenance of the body ...all coached in safety by experts. The studio itself feels tranquil, welcoming, unpretentious yet hospitable.
"I have been coming to Pilates Palm Springs for over 13 years and the reason I keep coming back is because the work has helped me to be fully mobile. A back injury some years ago compromised my flexibility and range of motion. Working with you and the other teachers has helped to restore most of my functioning and is keeping me flexible. The work has also taught me how to move my body in ways that will not exacerbate my original injury. I understand my body better, I know how to carry myself and move, and I feel more confident. This is an exceptional studio with exceptional teachers. You and the other expert teachers have given me a great gift.”
“About three years ago, as I was staring at the prospect of my eighth decade, I realized I should do something with my body. I was not athletic and had never participated in sports. I, therefore, approached my new commitment with terror. Susan Salk had been highly recommended to me by a friend who had benefited from Susan's expert training and professional skills for many years. What I had not anticipated was the fact that Susan could speak my language. She not only understood both my limited physical abilities and mental trepidations, but most importantly, she knew how to communicate directions and feedback in a way that I could easily absorb. I have learned the concepts of the Pilates method, have become sufficiently proficient in the basic exercises, and am completely relaxed when Susan suggests something new. I completely trust her. Because I have had such a motivating teacher, I have transferred my physical and mental gains to my world outside of the Pilates Palm Springs studio. As I age I am finding that I have more confidence and strength than I did in my pre-wrinkle days.”
