Testimonials

By Kevin Seiple - Systems Maintenance Technician and full-time dog walker - September 2002

I first learned about Pilates when I began dating the marvelous instructor Jill Kuhlman. I wanted to try it so that I could describe what it was to my college friends. My first experience was very tiring, especially since I was trying to impress Jill. I did not do any Pilates after that until I moved to DC and Excel began their Teacher Training Program. They were interested in having their apprentices teach a 6'5" male because I was told it would be challenging for them. For as long as the program has been running I have tried to attend once a week, working with several different apprentices throughout this period. I feel that all of them have instructed Pilates well and have definitely given me a good workout. The most recent of my instructors, Louise Papile, never fails to make my muscles sore for the next two days. Ask Jill because I complain to her about it.

It may be hard to believe but I think I may be taller now and I definitely am more aware of my posture. Pilates has also helped strengthen my bad knee and wrist through low impact stretching. I recommend all of the certified instructors and apprentices to anyone who is interested in participating in the authentic Joseph Pilates exercise system.
