Pilates Physique instruction is the first time I feel like I’m using every part of my body and understand how and what it’s doing for me. Denise (owner/operator) is excellent! Her instruction is by far the best I’ve ever had in Pilates. She customizes your workout to your specific needs.. and her attention to YOU is evident throughout the workout. She has given me total confidence in my ability to have a proper whole body workout while not compromising my lower back or knee issues.
I highly recommend Pilates Physique for strengthening, building, and inspiring to live a healthy daily life

Pilates Physique has changed my life over the past six years! The Pilates method, as taught by Denise Maffia in her Cornelius studio, has changed my body, my endurance, and decreased my chronic back pain, by strengthening my core, changing my posture, and lengthening and toning my arm and leg muscles. I HIGHLY recommend giving it a try!!

The only way I can think to explain my Pilates experience with Denise, is come check it out for yourself. I love that I can participate at my own level, without ever feeling left behind. Denise details everything to you! Her knowledge of the body is remarkable and puts your mind at ease particularly when you may be dealing with an injury. She always begins each class with asking how you are feeling. Denise likes to check in and find out where you and your body are on that very day. The studio is always kept sanitized and spotless. I look forward to every class!

Pilates Physique keeps me moving! I’ve been attending semi private classes with owner Denise Mafia for two years now. Her instruction is very personalized -not just from person to person but also session to session (because we all know we feel different on different days!) I find the 50 minute sessions are good not only for my muscles and joints but also my mind and mood.

I just finished a virtual Pilates class using my home reformer and Denise continues to amaze me. She can instruct her studio students, as well as help me at home. I have never felt out of the loop during her class. She articulates every movement so clearly that I can listen and perform the movement without missing her next instruction. She notices when I'm out of alignment and watches as I correct myself at home. I believe Denise's commitment to helping us stay healthy has kept me free from sciatic pain for years. I've attended many types of classes over my 60+ years and have never felt cared for

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pilates Physique!!!!! Denise is absolutely AMAZING! I was new to Pilates and unsure at first but Denise makes you feel very comfortable and confident. She takes the time to teach you the correct form to ensure you are getting the maximum benefit. I love the smaller class size and the people are super friendly. I LOVE THIS PLACE and sure you will too.

Just started going to Pilates Physique a little over a month ago and am loving it! Group classes are small and friendly where you receive close attention from Denise, the instructor and owner. I've taken Pilates classes at various places over the years and Denise is by far he most attentive and knowledgable, modifying and challenging each student as they need it.

Pilates Physique is incredible. Denise Maffia is so much more than a Pilates Instructor. She knows her clients, is truly caring and concerned. Knows anatomy. After a very difficult knee injury and being told I would never kneel again or bend down, I'm so please to say I can not only kneel, I have more agility then before the surgery. The most important part of Denise and Pilates Physique is there is no air of superiority. She makes everyone feel comfortable and at home. Thanks Denise!
