Crystal is very professional and patient In few sessions my back pains decreased Thank you Crystal
Crystal is a real pro. She has taught how to work deeper than I thought possible and her nuanced and passionate approach to our sessions keeps me excited to keep going. I look forward to both her instruction and our time together.
Crystal, Master Instructor, will give you the best pilates instruction at reasonable cost. The level of detail she cues is critical in gaining the maximum benefits of your pilates practice. She will make every action count towards a better body and that's value with lowest risk.
I train weekly with Crystal at Porch Pilates virtually. I have also done all my levels of Peak certification with her. She is an excellent teacher. I have learned so much from her and am a better Pilates instructor because of her.
I've been attending sessions with Crystal who specializes in classical Pilates; the experience has been transformative. The expertise and attention to detail have significantly improved my strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Each class is well-structured, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. Highly recommended!
Crystal is an awesome instructor, who has helped me transform my body snd make me stronger!!! I have been training with Crystal for many years from Porch Pilates in New Jersey to virtual training from No. Carolina.
I've been working with Crystal at Porch Pilates for ~1 year and can attest that she's a truly phenomenal teacher. Regardless of where you are on your Pilates journey, she'll meet you where you are and help you deepen the work to a new level. The studio is well-equipped and incredibly clean!
I’ve been training with Crystal for almost 2 years and she is so brilliant in her knowledge of pilates and the biomechanics of the body. She has helped me learn so much about my own body issues and how to correct faulty movement patterns. I highly recommend Crystal!
