Through Corrective & Adaptive exercise I will design programs where I will have you progress appropriately through the process and achieve function that was lost. I focus on the whole self, not just the affected area. I have many years of experience which I have worked with individuals at various levels of abilities.

I met Paula in her Align and Define class in Elk Grove Village. She teaches proper form and encourages stretching during class. After experiencing shoulder pain and not getting relief from traditional PT, I started seeing Paula on an individual basis. Paula has worked with me using various techniques. She truly is concerned for her clients and wants them to get better. I highly recommend Paula and will continue seeing her.

I have been seeing Paula for over six years now. She is exceedingly dedicated to her clients as I have witnessed with others besides myself. She is knowledgeable in every aspect of her practice. I find it a big plus that each session is different from the one previous, so that one does not become disinterested by routine. In addition to her mastery of all things Pilates, she has a broad knowledge base of integrative health which serves everyone in addressing the root cause issues regarding their specific cares.
So yes, a five star recommendation!

I have been working with Paula for more than 5 years and her skill in helping me, and others, work productively toward health, wellness and fitness goals is extraordinary. She has helped me thru issues following a hip replacement, weight loss, challenges with arthritis, balance, proper form and more. When you work with Paula, you are the only person on the planet...and her warm, gentle and humorous personality makes working with her a real pleasure. For Paula, every client matters!

Paula is by far the best and most informative trainer I have been to. Over 20+ years with MS, I have been to quite a few.
Paula has an innate sense of what is needed, and knows how to target that area directly.
She knows her stuff, and if she doesn’t, she will research and find out how she can best help you.
I highly recommend her.

About 3 yrs ago I was diagnosed with RA, I could barley walk or hold a plate without being in excruciating pain, the only option from my doctor was meds, I defeated. A co-worker referred me to Paula and my world changed for the better, I am stronger now then I was even before the RA. Paula's knowledge of the body, health, autoimmune is something to be admired, she has provided me with more resources then any Doctor I have seen in these past 3 years. Paula observes every movement your body is making if something is painful or she notices you are not using the correct muscles she modifies the exercise

I can’t say enough about Paula Lewinski. Her knowledge of the body, what it does, and how it works is amazing. I have the privilege of watching her work with numerous clients, with so many different ailments, and help them to move in ways that they probably never thought they could. She truly cares about everybody she comes in contact with. Paula is very focused and gives 100% of her attention to every client or class that she works with. She really is amazing

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis more than 30 years ago and have been going to Paula regularly for the last 5 years now. My neurologist and I agree that without Paula, I would be in a wheelchair.
She is an extraordinary personal trainer who really cares about her clients. Paula is very smart having been a nurse before changing to this profession. She has a lot of medical knowledge about how our bodies and muscles work. She uses a myriad of devices to make people feel better, and I can tell you that I feel better every single time after I have a session with her.
Paula will use everything

I have MS like so many of Paula's clients so I've always struggled with finding the balance between getting stronger and the fatigue that exercise can bring on. Paula is very intuitive on top of being an excellent trainer always modifying training based on my individual needs. Paula has always gone above and beyond getting personally involved in her clients lives like when she joined my MS team for our annual WALK fundraiser where she raised more than anyone else. I found a true friend and supporter in Paula and know you'll feel the same once you start training with her.

Paula is just simply amazing. I've known her for many years and have the privilege of working with her for probably 10 years now. Her knowledge is second to none. Working in the same field, I will bounce things off of her and she never hesitates to help nor ever looks at me like I'm bothering her. Her main focus is to HELP everyone. You can see her focus on her clients with such intent giving them every ounce of her attention. Paula is very driven. She has such dedication to her field and is always learning to be the best trainer/therapist she can be. We need more Paulas in this world!

I first started taking Paula's classes at the Pavilion Fitness Center in Elk Grove Village.
Paula teaches a class Align and Define at the Pavilion. I am 66 years old and have worked out most of my life . This is the best class I ever took due to Paula teaches you the correct way to do everything to avoid injury and use proper form.
I also take Plates Reformer with Paula, and now thanks to Paula's expertise my range of motion is how it was years ago if not better.
Life changing.
