Hayley’s Pilates Journey: From Desk Job Aches to Strength and Confidence

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO SIGN UP WITH VERO PILATES IN LONG BEACH?

Hayley has been coming consistently to her semi-private Pilates sessions twice weekly for the past two years and making steady progress on all fronts! Initially Hayley was dealing some minor aches and pains due to her desk job as supervisor for a customer service call center. She also wanted to keep on top of her health and stay ahead of her age. Hayley felt drawn to the small intimate class sizes at Vero Pilates and dedication to quality instruction. She says, “My only regret is not signing up sooner, I won't admit how many times I drove by before finally taking the plunge.”

PROGRESS MADE, GOALS ACHIEVED!

Her consistent Pilates practice helps Vero Pilates member conquer new heights on her beloved hikes!

We are happy to report that Hayley has made outstanding progress since signing up! Her regular instructor Sabine shares that Hayley has progressed in every aspect including strength, balance, fluidity of movement - “You name it!” She has a special place in her heart for Mat Pilates and always looks forward to March MATness. She is also determined to place for next year’s Oktoberfest stein holding contest!

WHEN & HOW DID YOU DISCOVER PILATES?

Hayley discovered Pilates through a Groupon offer back in her college years. She was looking for something to keep herself active and fell in love with the practice after giving it a try! She loves the emphasis on strength and flexibility. “There was a long break after I finished college before I found Vero, and am very happy to be a part of this community now.”

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR FREE TIME & HOW HAS YOUR PILATES PRACTICE HELPED YOU?

Outside of the studio and work, Hayley enjoys knitting, reading, and watching movies - all of which involve sitting. Hayley mentions that her Pilates practice helps her make sure she maintains good posture as a habit and even remarked that she can hear Sabine’s voice reminding her of the now famous “Chopsticks!” cue while she’s knitting! Hayley also enjoys how her Vero sessions help her stay active.

Hayley loves walking along the beach in the mornings and taking weekend hikes to places like Malibu Creek State Park. She shares that, “the hills have gotten easier too, thanks to Pilates!” “With her disciplined work ethic, it’s her unexpected wittiness that makes everyone want to be in class with her.”, shares Sabine.

We love having you in our studio community, Hayley!
