"As a Competitive Tri-Athlete, I'm consistently looking for ways to enhance my training and decrease my race times. I was encouraged by a good friend to give Pilates a try as an excellent way to build core strength and improve my biomechanics. I was excited to see that a Pilates by Liz class was being offered at the Medical Wellness Center at the University of Miami where I am studying, and made plans to attend. To be honest, I was a bit intimidated in that first class since I was the only man in the room, but I was determined to at least attempt a workout.
After one class of Pilates by Liz, I was hooked. By incorporating Pilates by Liz into my workout regiment, I have noticed marked improvements in not only my competitions, but in all facets of my life. In the Pilates by Liz mat and reformer classes, I learned techniques on spine stabilization and breathing that have helped me be more efficient in my movements. The core strength I've achieved through Pilates by Liz has also helped to stabilize my lower back, an area that had been very weak and often painful in the past. After several months of Pilates by Liz mat classes, I added Pilates by Liz Reformer Classes to my routine and have been amazed at the results.
The Pilates by Liz Reformer class provides an intense, full-body workout that is at the same time aerobic and low impact. The combination of Pilates by Liz mat classes along with Pilates Reformer workouts with Liz Caravia have transformed the way that I think about training. Liz is very professional, yet brings a bright attitude to class and will make sure you excel. She is wonderful at making a member of the class feel like they are the most important person in the room, even though there are many others present. Her knowledge of Pilates and Sports Specific training has made her an extremely valuable asset to my athletic training.
I now find myself, whether I'm on my bike, swimming or running, implementing the information I've learned from Liz through Pilates and I've noticed impressive gains. In addition to the benefits in my racing, my core is tighter and stronger, my posture has improved dramatically, and my daily energy levels have skyrocketed. Thank you Liz and thank you Pilates." |
