fromthecenter PILATES STUDIOS

Four years ago my orthopedist recommended pilates to follow months of physical therapy for spinal degeneration. A good friend and bodywork professional recommended Patrick O'Brien, the owner of From The Center, and I've been working with him weekly since then. Patrick is a gem of a person and an amazing trainer who tailors each session to what my body needs at that time. My body has straightened and strengthened more than I thought possible. The space is lovely, the place is peaceful, and the staff is professional and warm. From time to time I've worked with other trainers at From The Center; each has been wonderful. I'm often tired and stressed when I arrive but the physical and mental experience always soothes and brings me to a state of relaxed energy.

I have been working out at From The Center for many years, almost exclusively with Patrick O'Brien who is a master trainer/instructor. I call it my place of peace and serenity. All of the instructors are highly trained and top quality. They can adapt a Pilates session to the special body issues of each client. I have worked with other Pilates instructors and at other studios, but, in my opinion, From the Center is the best. I look forward to my time in the studio and always leave it in high spirits. From the Center will tone your body, nourish your mind and soothe your soul.

From The Center is a beautiful facility with a friendly and well trained staff. Owner Patrick O'Brien is a gifted teacher who has trained hundreds of other pilates instructors. Your workout will be geared to your specific needs and abilities. I have been a client for more than ten years. While I have sampled other studios, the pleasure and results I get from FTC always keep me coming back.

I have been a client for over three years and have had the opportunity to work with a number of instructors. They have all been wonderful. Todd is my regular instructor and he is simply amazing - both as a person and instructor. Every time I receive a compliment about how quickly I returned to my pre-baby body, I give credit where credit is due: Todd at From The Center!

I've been a client of fromthecenter for about 5 years now and through the skill and nurturing of the instructors I have developed a new understanding of my body...and much better abs. Pilates is a key part of my work-out routine. The instructors are always certain to ask me what is going on with my body to make sure that we're taking my practice in the right direction. There are many studios in the city but what makes fromthecenter really stand out is the quality of instruction. I feel confident trusting my body into their hands.

I would be remiss if I also didn't mention how soothing the studio is. The colors and music and smells are perfect to let the world outside go and focus on yourself for an hour whether in a mat class or a private session.
