"Through Pilates, not only have I increased my core strength, I have also noticed an improvement in my posture. Donna's body wisdom is extensive, and she keeps our sessions fun and varied. Also training with Bolder Pilates has kept me injury-free through my racing season in triathlon and I am currently training for my first marathon - a goal I had previously deemed impossible!" -- Jen L., Exercise Physiologist and Personal Fitness Trainer

With pleasure I'll recommend Bolder Pilates to all who are interested in Pilates." -- Jeannie H., Realtor

Donna is a very personable and knowledgeable instructor who never ceases to keep me interested in learning more about Pilates. If you are thinking about taking Pilates, I highly recommend Donna's motivating, FUN, and effective teaching style." -- Lori B., Federal Express Courier

"I began Pilates over a year ago and took my first series of courses with Donna. As a novice, I found Donna's attention to technique very valuable - she was thorough in her explanations and made certain I understood and practiced proper technique. As a ballet dancer, I understand how important your first instructor is...the foundation Donna gave me has allowed me to continue my Pilates and to move into advanced level classes with confidence."
