“After having had a hip replacement and gone through the prescribed physical therapy, I went back to Claire as I wasn’t satisfied with the movement I had with the PT. Claire’s knowledge of anatomy, movement and different movement disciplines is extraordinary! With her help, I was able to get full range of motion and flexibility back. For simply keeping in shape or for rehab exercise, Claire takes a Pilates workout to another level. She’s delightful to work with, always keeps workouts interesting and designs each workout for each client. I’m a regular because she helps keep me moving and feeling terrific!”

“I have been working with Claire for a few years with ongoing issues of aging. It started out that she helped me after a knee replacement and now it’s just whatever needs attention. Claire has great knowledge of the body. Sometimes we work on strength and sometimes a restorative session is what is needed. Whichever we do, I always feel better when I walk out the door. Claire always keeps it interesting and tells you when She sees improvement. I can recommend that anyone would be better with her guidance.”

“I am writing this letter in support of Claire Henning, certified Pilates Instructor.  I have been a therapeutic/restorative Pilates client of Claire’s for almost four years.  In the last twelve years  I have worked with six different Pilates instructors and Claire is by far the most knowledgeable and talented at providing customized, targeted exercise to address my specific medical/physical issues.

The quality of my daily life has been vastly improved because of the critical support and training Claire provides to me.  Her ability to personalize my exercise program based on my medical conditions has been invaluable over the past four years.  Every session is individualized to meet my needs on that day—truly personalized to be therapeutic and restorative for my body.

She is a gift for which I am extremely grateful.”

“When I first met Claire Henning, I immediately knew she was the right teacher for me. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and a truly gifted teacher and instructor. I have been dealing with severe lower back issues for many years, having had many epidurals and most recently two surgeries. Claire was there from the moment I was able to start moving. Step by step she reassured me and guided me to moving again with confidence. I was however continuing to have issues, and my surgeon suggested another procedure. The thought of that was overwhelming. Claire reassured me that we could take it slow, strengthen and help me to improve my quality of life and movement. I am happy to say that a little over a year has passed since my last surgery, I am no longer contemplating another procedure. I feel stronger and more secure in my posture, strength and movement than I have in the last several years. I owe it all to Claire and her personal attention and dedication.”
