— Kim Clarke, mother of 4 children, age range from 12-23 years old

"As a physiotherapist, I appreciate the invaluable impact that Pilates has made to my client's lives. However, it was not until I sustained my own injuries, that I realized the impact that it would have on my own life.

After months of suffering from pain from a hip injury, and not being able to participate in the activities I enjoy, I decided to try Pilates again, after years of being involved in other types of sports. Pilates has increased my flexibiity, augmented my joint function, improved my overall strength, and as a result, has allowed me to return to the activiites that I love. Bernadette has been instrumental in my recovery, as she is both inspiring and positive, and designs programs that accomodate my abilitites. Thank you Bernadette for renewing my love of Pilates!"
— Saloni Malhotra, Physiotherapist at Lakeridge Health Whitby

"I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in obtaining a stronger, more flexible body, but is wary of sustaining injury in the process, to attend pilates classes at Pilates by Bernadette. Each session is fresh, fun and with the right amount of challenge to maintain forward progress. Bernadette's careful attention to body alignment and correct movement help to prevent injury and ensure that the workout is highly effective. Her positive encouragement and light hearted spirit help to make the session fun and rewarding. Definitely more enjoyable than the repetitive workout routines at the local fitness gym."
— Liz Smith, Independent Sales Director for Mary Kay Cosmetics

"I love pilates because it makes me sleep well, strengthens my core and good posture."
— Peggy Brooks, Mother of one; No Frills Owner.

"I started pilates because my doctor recommended that I needed to strengthen my core as I was having severe back problems. I was an avid golfer and had to stop playing due to back pain. My wife and daughters who see Bernadette on a regular basis and love her suggested I start pilates and Bernadette being such a fun instructor made it easy to make time for it. I am now able to enjoy both life and golf without back pain. Thanks Bernadette!!"

“Bernadette is an incredible Pilates instructor who motivates me with her energy, warmth and humour. Whether taking private or group lessons, I always have tons of fun while working hard. Best of all, my body is noticeably stronger and leaner. I love that I can achieve great results without feeling like exercising is a chore. I highly recommend Pilates by Bernadette for anyone”

" I love pilates because it has certainly made me feel stronger and helps my Spinal Stenosis. I truly enjoy my time with Bernadette"
— Donna Shipman: Mother of one; Retired and full time housewife.

"I got into pilates because my wife wanted me to get into better shape. She had done pilates for years and swears that it was the best form of exercise since it strengthens core. I play some hockey but in general hate to do weights or any other form of exercise so I went into pilates with my guard up, but found after a few sessions with Bernadette that I was enjoying the workouts. Bernadette works you hard, but she is a lot of fun and illustrates all the exercises. I am feeling stronger both physically and mentally since I started and am enjoying the workouts more since my core is getting stronger and Bernadette is laughing at me less and less every class. Bernadette is a hoot and I would recommend her class to anyone."
— Guy Vigliatore - Father of 3, General Manager of Scarborough Subaru, Suzuki, Kia and Rouge Valley Mitsubishi. www.scarborosubaru.ca

"Bernadette is an amazing pilates instructor who always makes working out fun! She is a bundle of energy and a joy to be around. My sister and I did semi-private classes together and loved them. We would highly recommend Bernadette and her studio to anyone interested in pilates."

"Being my first pregnancy I was nervous for the labour part of things, my instructor Bernadette continued to assure me Pilates would assist in a shorter and "easier" labour. My daughter was born in 20 minutes. The nurses said they had never seen a 'first labour' go by so quickly! I have no doubt it was because of my continued practice in Pilates and the support from my wonderful instructor."
— Rachel Petrie Morgan, Miracle Salesperson Re/max Realty Enterprises Inc., Brokerage

"Finally found a workout that I look forward to and have seen results! Not hard to keep a New Year's resolution to keep fit when you have Bernadette encouraging you to try new things. Never the same workout, never boring, always effective! Private or group classes are great!"
— Melanie Warren from Ajax, Business Owner of Warren's Printing Place

I trust Bernadette and respect her knowledge and expertise. I feel my body is stronger, leaner and more balanced since I have started Pilates with Bernadette. Everyone needs to feel this good. Just try Pilates with Bernadette!"
— Michelle Ready, Mother of two, Teacher from Pickering

"I enjoy pilates and the way it makes me feel. I know that with every lesson my body is getting stronger, more flexible, and more capable. But sometimes I do not really feel like working out - sometimes the thought of ab preps and short spines and hundreds makes me want to curl up in bed.

That is where Bernadette comes in. I know that with every lesson, even if I am not looking forward to the hard work, I can look forward to the laughter and encouragement she brings every day. By the end of the hour, I know I am guaranteed to have challenged myself and accomplished something new. That is why I love Pilates by Bernadette."
— Samantha Arnts of www. Arntstopsoil.com

"I started pilates because of my mother, and my worsening posture...I love the strength I'm gaining, even though I want to scream every time Bernadette tells me to do hundreds! Pilates makes me feel great and is way more stimulating than hauling my butt to the gym, and Bernadette always makes it fun."
— Lindsay Arnts, University student

"Bernadette is a huge inspiration to me and motivates me to do more than anyone else has ever. I trust Bernadette because of her advanced Pilates knowledge and experience. She makes me laugh and pulls that extra little bit out of me that I did not think I had. I truly look forward to seeing her, feeling better about myself and working out!"
— Michelle House from Brooklyn, Whitby
