Client Reviews
I have done a lot of pilates mat classes in my life but Karii was my first experience doing a private session. All I can say is I can't go back to the mat classes. Karii is awesome at what she does. She spent time listening as I told her about my body (I have scoliosis) and my goals and then she tailored a workout specifically for me. She goes easy with you at first as you learn the reformer and the exercises but then gradually picks up the pace. She is kicking my butt (in a good way) and I feel myself getting stronger. Karii is funny and such a joy to be around. Thank you, Karii!!
I've been working with Karii for almost a year now. She has not only helped me lose the weight I gained during pregnancy, but also build strength and flexibility. Karii is a classically trained dancer and really knows how to make a workout varied and interesting. She is easy to talk to, easy to work with, and very generous with her time. I've never run across another instructor more accommodating of reasonable last minute schedule changes and baby emergencies. Ive brought my baby to our private sessions, and he's really enjoyed hanging out with Karii.
Karii is a wonderful pilates instructor. She is very knowledgeable and provides great instruction and always introduces new moves that keep it interesting while keeping you motivated. I took privates from Karii all through my pregnancy and now post-partum and she not only helped keep my in shape while pregnant (as much as you can during this time) but is also helping to tone me back up. Plus, you can bring your infant to her studio and she is not only a fantastic instructor but also a baby whisperer.
I started working with Karii a short time after my original pilates instructor of 4 years went back to school. Not knowing exactly what to expect, I signed up for the introductory series of classes which was quite affordable. There was no hesitation once my original series expired to become a regular client. I continue to focus on my core strength and flexibility to help with my golf game (it needs it).
The space itself works well for solo workouts, but also has enough equipment for duets. No distractions from other clients or other instructors invading your space.
I will continue to send clients to Studio Ru!
Thanks Karii.
