When I came to Mandy in March 2014, I was concerned that she would not take me as a client. I had physical problems due to an auto accident many years ago. One leg had to be shortened and the ankle was also fused. As a result, my balance was unstable. Over the years my body has compensated for the injuries, so I could walk again. Some muscles were stronger than others and it was difficult to stand unless I pushed off a chair. Not only did Mandy take me on as a client, she welcomed the challenge. She started with the principles of Pilates and increased the difficulty based on my progress. Movements were never forced, only encouraged. Today my balance is much better. My core stability is improving. As a result, I have a reduced risk of injury. I have increased my muscle strength and it is easier for me to stand right up! I am thankful for Pilates in Holland, and happy with the progress I am making. Mandy has also become a good friend.

As a 60 year old guy, I decided that I wanted to row competitively. A key part of the rowing stroke requires a strong core, both back strength, and abs strength to support a long forward reach. I have had lower back disc problems and as a longtime bicycle racer - and typical guy - I have had extremely tight hamstrings. Both of these prevented almost any forward reach in my rowing stroke.
I began pilates workouts to try and address the problem. Through the classes and Mandy’s guidance, I now have a stronger core than anytime in my life with a solid 4-pack moving toward 6-pack and can reach the floor in a bend over and toes in a sitting forward bend- neither of which has been possible for at least 3 decades. The rowing stroke is no longer limited by my flexibility or back strength.

I love the education. You are not only guided through how to do the exercises but why you are doing them and how they are going to benefit you and your body. I always leave feeling better than I felt when I entered. I am so glad Pilates in Holland is part of my life!
