Martha,
Thank you so much! I was just thinking about you, while doing some “work” reading!
I have attached the summary of the research study that I was reading. Study, just published, shows > 2 hours/week resistance training decreased major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke or death from cardiovascular cause) by 20%! Some benefit was found for even 1 hour resistance training, and additional benefit was shown for each additional hour/week resistance training! Resistance training was in addition to guideline aerobic exercise. Pretty awesome success rate for resistance training in women!
So, thanks for training me, Martha! And thanks for reducing my cardiovascular risks!
XOXO! Kathleen

In addition to "cutting my teeth" as a student instructor at Northland Pilates, I was also fortunate enough to participate in Martha's 10-Pack (2 per week) classes. They were fun, challenging, exciting, and completely kicked my butt! I felt my strength increasing weekly, not to mention a noticeable improvement in my flexibility and the ability to attain new challenging levels of competence as a result of Martha's stellar instructing. Martha teaches a classically based Pilates program that builds levels steadily through the course of the 10 week class commitment. I highly recommend Martha and Northland Pilates to anyone interested in gaining strength and confidence in a welcoming, enjoyable environment made even more fun by the comraderie built throughout the course with those being challenged alongside you. Check it out!

I feel so much better after attending Northland Pilates with Martha! I have more flexibility, strength and balance. Martha truly cares about each participant and challenges us every session. I look forward to attending more sessions. Thank you, Martha!
Martha is an incredible Pilates instructor. She helped me reach goals I never thought were possible, and she always meets everyone exactly where they are. Compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. I couldn’t recommend Northland Pilates more.
One of the keys to successful aging is to keep your body moving. Nothing does this better for me than Pilates at Northland Pilates. I have been working on balance and range of motion exercises recently and it has really paid off for me! Thank you Martha for making me feel good about myself again!
Martha,
I just want to take a minute and say how much I appreciate your classes.
My body feels so much better, I am noticing small changes that are uplifting!
I know I have much to learn but I am enjoying this journey with you and the members of the classes. Truly, this is amazing.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow evening!

My name is Martha and I help people overcome living in an aging and stiffening body to a youthful and thriving, supple body. I will teach you CONTROLOGY which consists of original exercises created by Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1883-1967). We will use a Reformer, which is one of many exercise apparatus he invented.
