I love taking pilates with Cindy Houston here in Pagosa Springs. I started 2 years ago, at the age of 71 and immediately felt welcomed and encouraged by Cindy and the other students. I have taken all kinds of exercise classes over the years, some were fun but didn't get results, some were too difficult to adapt to my age or circumstance and resulted in injury, and some were just boring.

I loved this studio. I was visiting from out of state and so thankful to find this gem hidden away in a mountain town. I took a level 2 and level 4 class and loved both of them. I found each of them true to their level and perfectly challenging. Cindy is an incredible instructor. She is so warm and welcoming. She is very knowledgable and helped in finding me the right classes to attend. She was so attentive during each class and helped me throughout. I highly recommend this studio and will definitely be back when I'm in town again.

As a former high school and collegiate soccer coach, avid rock climber and aging man I needed a program to improve my strength and flexibility at the same time. This place ROCKS!! Cindy is not just a Pilates instructor, she is an full person (body & soul) improvement specialist. It doesn’t matter your age, physical condition or experience – she will improve the quality of your life!!

I started Pilates with Cindy last year when I was at my weakest- within a month I was feeling strong again because Cindy doesn’t mess around with fitness, she keeps me on my toes. I love her positive energy and the overall vibe in the studio. She makes sure everyone knows each other and goes out of her way to help you with fine-tuning your workout. Definitely the highlight of my week!

I absolutely love my workouts at Cindy's Body Shop. As a part-timer in Pagosa Springs, Cindy always welcomes me back with open arms. She is an awesome instructor, carefully considering each client's strengths and weaknesses. Cindy is an inspirational role model for living a fun, caring, healthy and strong life. Her classes are filled with a nice group of ladies to boot!

Cindy is the best! So inspirational, positive and encouraging. Love my Pilates sessions with Cindy and her team. I have practiced Pilates for over 12 years in LA and was skeptical that I could find quality instruction in Pagosa Springs. Well Cindy exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed the best Pilates classes ever!

Shortly after relocating to Pagosa Springs, I started Pilates with Cindy. She is, by far, the best instructor I have met. Just when you think you know all the moves on a piece of equipment, she gives you a completely different workout. After living here a few months, my husband asked what was the best thing about Pagosa. Without hesitation, I said "Pilates with Cindy!"

Pilates is truly the only form of exercise that I have ever experienced full results from head to toe! I have had back problems my entire life and pilates make my back feel better while increasing my core strength and stretching. I have been attending Cindy Houston classes since she moved to Colorado in 2006 and highly recommend her teaching and classes to any one. She teaches many types of classes and to all levels!

Love my workouts with Cindy! I've never done Pilates before, and picked it up as a way to stay fit in the off season (both for work, and sport - I'm a jumper rider). Not only am I strengthening muscles I didn't know I had, but Cindy has helped me identify and correct subtle postural abnormalities that will really help my riding! Workouts vary from gentle to severe, but the nice thing is that you can really make it as hard or as easy as you need to that day. It's also nice to notice a difference in strength and ability each week.
