Every day gives us choices on how we spend our time & money as we strive to better ourselves for our selves, family & community. Choosing to work with Cathy Burton at Cores & Effects Pilates Studio in one on one sessions rather than trusting DVDs, group classes or textbooks led to long-lasting & tangible results. That decision has most assuredly improved my body, mind & spirit. Cathy’s invaluable teaching is some of the best I’ve ever experienced. She is attuned to my needs, passionate in her ability to read the body with humour and insight & is thoroughly able to determine the correct path to wellness for my unique situation. Every time I meet with her, I leave having learned something new & knowing that I am that much closer to the flexible & fit body that I want to achieve. There is no quick fix or secret shortcut but there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom from Cathy throughout the class. What I find most valuable is the profound sense of empowerment, knowing that she is knowledgeable & willing enough to share everything I need to succeed; that all it takes is the willingness to work hard and take consistent daily effort. She is inspiring, she knows how to teach, she knows her subject, and she cares about the success of her clients. If you are interested in improving your quality of life, I think you’ll appreciate Cathy’s instruction. Seize the opportunity. You won’t regret taking any of her classes, but you might regret not helping yourself to a better life when you had the chance.
