"It is with the utmost pleasure and gratitude that I share my three years of Pilates with Denise the Wellness Deeva. I remember always having an interest in Pilates so I was drawn to trying out her class. Well, after a few classes of chair Pilates I was hooked. Her warm energy and overall thorough knowledge of Pilates made me desire more time with her. With my quest to do more workout sessions with her, led me to discover her Sunday Stretch and Tone as well as the Pilates class on Tuesdays.

These classes have and continue to be a source of exercise and balance that I needed for my mind and body. Denise always exhibits professionalism while providing detailed instructions in order to ensure that her class provides her students are in proper form to build strong minds and bodies. Additionally, she checks in to ensure understanding of the positions while providing modifications in order to prevent injuries but well-toned bodies. Each movement is accompanied with clear explanations of what area of the body you are targeting and what you should feel during that set/ round. Also, the gentle reminders to breathe and take that sip of water, and remembering your end goals are very helpful to keep me engaged and build my endurance.

It is also important I highlight that her class has definitely helped me to tone my body while building endurance. I have received so many compliments about the changes in my body from friends and family. Denise provides me with the coaching to actually become a planker... Imagine that! I went from not ever planking to now being able to plank for  3 minutes.... which by the way Denise continues to push us within our limits to do more with a smile and thoughtful words of encouragement.

I am thankful for the support that Denise has given to me and a few of my friends that I have invited to her classes. She is an instructor that goes beyond my expectations to provide a safe and caring environment where I can continue to grow stronger in my mind and body"

“I have been doing Pilates for the past 4 years or so and Pilate has been a life saver for me.

2 years ago, when I took on my last role at work, Pilates was and still is a very helpful tool each and every day.

 After a day of stress, I will be looking forward to my Pilate class for a reliever and energy booster. The class helps me get ready for the next day.

Pilates has been nothing but FUN! I feel healthier, empowered and ready to rock and roll after each class.

All this was possible because of the great instructor I have, Denise! She teaches the class with clear and encouraging directions. Always ready to help!

 Thank you, Denise! And praying God to continue blessing you!"

"Pilates has truly blessed me over the years with my multiple job related injuries.

The classes have helped me lose weight, exactly 30lbs in 2020 & definitely improved my health of course. Having a strong core is very important for balance & to avoid injuries after my job related injuries in 2011. The classes help me build muscles around the injured areas, have more flexibility, strength & endurance. 

I put a great value on you as a team mate & the Pilates classes because this class is the crème da la crème. It appears easy but these small muscles working in unison really tones & sculpts each & everyone fortunate enough to take part.  Pilates has always been a class that I marveled at & now I am doing with you & seeing such youthful changes in my appearance, truly the fountain of youth!!!

It’s been 4yrs & I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. Your professionalism & dedication has not been taken for granted, we value all that you bring to the team.  I believe we each empower one another & it is my great pleasure to see & work with you week in & week out!!!

May GOD continue to bless us to be a blessing for our family, community & the world..."
