Shelley is an amazing businesswoman, Pilates instructor and person. I walked into Sage Pilates after not doing Pilates for at least eight years, and 100 pounds heavier than I was the last time I attempted to work out. A lot of instructors would not have taken me seriously, considering my weight, but she has been working with me and allowing me to advance far beyond what many would think I was capable of. She helps me come up with ways to modify exercises to make them doable at my size and allows me the freedom to continually try advanced exercises that may be out of my reach now but are slowly becoming possible. She keeps each session interesting and mixes it up so it's not the same boring routine every time. She's also an extraordinary person who I truly enjoy spending an hour with. I'll continue at Sage as long as she lets me! She's busy for a reason - people really want to be there! She gives it her all, her prices are fair and the workout is worth every penny.
