That said, some clients may have health conditions that we as Teachers need to navigate around.

Hilary is INCREDIBLE… kind, caring, courteous and a true professional. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients making sure they learn proper Pilates. She customizes each session to suit your needs. She gets to know you and what’s best for you. I had never done Pilates prior to meeting Hilary. She has been life changing for me and Pilates is now a lifestyle for me. MUST TRY!

Hilary has helped change the way I think about and use my body. I was unable to stick with many different types of sport and exercises because my back would spasm leaving me unable to move for weeks, which was devastating. I would have to give up each sport I tried. Now that I have worked with Hilary - she has helped me rehab my muscles and body in general so I can take my sports on - using better and correct form - personalized for me. I adore and look forward to every session with Hilary! Very grateful to have confidence back in regards of moving my body.

My classes with Hilary are my favorite part of the week! She designs my sessions uniquely for my abilities and always specializes them based on how I seem that day. She has such a deep understanding of how to string the classical exercises together to build throughout the class. I always leave feeling refreshed, strong, and happy!

I started coming to Hilary Opheim Pilates during pandemic and it’s a wonderful studio. Hilary is a stickler for cleanliness and safe practices vis a vis distancing and masks but also has a wonderful assortment of equipment. Hilary is a seasoned, highly knowledgeable teacher with a classical Pilates approach. I really appreciate her focus on and attention to form and truly teaching, not just doing exercises. Highly recommend!

Hilary is one of the best teachers I have worked with! I started doing Pilates with her virtually during the shut-down based on a recommendation from another instructor. I know many might be hesitant to take classes virtually, but they are absolutely worth it with Hilary! She is incredibly knowledgeable about Pilates and is a fantastic instructor. Plus, she is one of the sweetest souls that you will ever meet. Whether you are experienced or brand new to Pilates, I highly recommend Hilary!

Hilary is amazing. I did Pilates with other trainers at her studio for two years, and then worked with Hilary for more than a year. She is consistently focused, attentive, creative, and flexible. She was great with this middle-aged, ailing-back, never-really-worked-out-before man, and I've also seen her being great with young athletes, senior citizens, and training other Pilates instructors. Working with Hilary is working with the best there is.
