"In the last two months, since I've been taking xtreme60 sessions with Mari, I've seen better results in my body than I've seen in years with just doing cardio and circuit training at the gym. I LOVE Pilates and Xtreme60!" - Jennifer H - October 2010

"I have been going to Mari and Better Body for over 10 years. She has helped stabilize my bad back through her program. I can't imagine how my back would feel without Pilates." - Randy L. - October 2010

I've been doing Pilates at Betterbody Pilates for 9 years and I love it! Each week I know I am getting a great work out. My instructor always mixes it up and makes it new and exciting. Betterbody Pilates has a real warm atmosphere; everyone is always so nice and welcoming. It is a great place to be with old friends and make new ones. I don't know what I'd do without BetterBody Pilates! - Melanie R.

I am a 68 year old grandmother, who was advised by my daughter, Karen, to try Pilates because she thought it was so worthwhile. I am a dedicated treadmill walker & didn't know anything about the program. I was skeptical & didn't know if I would enjoy it. Karen attended the BetterBody Studio in Agoura, and even though I live in Granada Hills, I made the trip there. After about three months of exercise, I began to feel a difference. I could feel my body strength, flexibility & balance improve. And when BetterBody opened in Calabasas, I changed to that studio, because it was a little closer to my home. I have been doing Pilates regularly for six years & when my friends ask why I am so committed to the program, I tell them how much better it makes me feel. The entire staff is terrific. I have worked with the same wonderful instructor for two years, and I warned her that she is stuck with me. - Helen Parker, February 2007

CSUN

As a former certified massage therapist (certified through the Institute of Phsyco-Structual Balance in Santa Monica), I became interested in Pilates for its rehabilitative and strengthening qualities. I was exposed to the benefits of Pilates working in a physical therapy office, where I noticed the safe benefits and rapid improvements on post-surgical patients. I later enrolled and received my Pilates certification through The Physicalmind Institute in New York. I continued my education with Jillian Hessel at the Well Tempered Workout in West Hollywood studying an extensive Cadillac course for the special populations. I received my Personal Training Certificate through the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America as well as a member of IDEA and The Pilates Method Alliance. I am also certified in CPR through the American Heart Association. Before opening BetterBody in Agoura Hills and Calabasas, I was a personal trainer and Pilates Instructor at physical therapy offices in West Los Angeles and West Lake Village as well as in public and private gyms. I am currently working with a medical doctor, physical therapist, and acupuncturist to create a specific and tailored program that will balance and restore the body to its natural and healthy state. BetterBody is a fully equipped Pilates method studio offering private, semi-private and group instruction. Our staff of experience professionals will customize a fitness program for your individual needs, including rehabilitation, pre & post prenatal, dance, golf, improving athletic performance or overall conditioning.
