ANOTHER PLANET PILATES TESTIMONIALS

I started going to Naomi about a year ago and since that time I no longer have back or neck pain. Her style is so personalized and I feel like every Pilates exercise that she has taught me in my private session is tailored to my body and needs. I live in San Francisco and believe in Naomi so much that I drive up to the studio in Marin and would drive even farther to see her because Naomi has sold me on why Pilates truly is the best! - Grant G.

After injuring my lower back in an unsupervised Pilates mat class, I had given up on any type of strengthening type of workouts. Lo and behold, Naomi Rayman had started teaching one-on-one Pilates sessions. One year later, my waistline has permanently shrunk by 2 inches. I am more flexible, feel great, and my entire body has changed. I would recommend this kind of personalized and guided exercise to anyone, especially those who have given up on exercise entirely. I now LOVE working out again! - Ashley J.

I love doing Pilates with Naomi. Naomi really understands how to work with people to get the most results. I am a runner, and I came to strengthen my core and help support my back. (Also, I must admit that I was a little tired of my love handles, and wanted to get rid of them as well!!) Naomi worked with me once a week, and I saw a big difference in my posture and my running. In fact, this summer, I did a triathlon and won my age group. Naomi is a great teacher -- she's patient and funny, and she really knows what she's doing. I can't recommend her enough! - Grier M.

Naomi is an outstanding Pilates teacher! Every session contains exactly the right amount of challenge to insure results. Each training session is varied and it is clear that she does the necessary preparation to provide a completely individualized and productive workout. Her skill as an instructor is matched by her enthusiasm and ability to make each workout truly enjoyable. I leave her Pilates class in a more vibrant frame of mind due to her influence! -Liza M.

When I first began Pilates with Naomi she took a great deal of time to get to know my body and any issue that might affect my Pilates routines. It didn’t bother her that I had no Pilates experience and she never expressed reticence to accept me as a client. She was incredibly easy to talk to and I felt an instant connection with her. Naomi is careful to constantly assess how my body is reacting to each workout. I feel very safe during my workouts knowing that she is protecting me at all times. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable about Pilates. At the end of every session I feel very good about myself and have a real sense of accomplishment. She is incredibly encouraging. We have a lot of fun during our sessions. I’ve spoken to other clients of Naomi’s, and I realize we all feel the same way about her. She is one in a million. - Karen D.

Joining Naomi’s mat class and working on the Reformer has been one of the most rewarding exercise programs I have experienced. I had never taken Pilates classes before I began one year ago. I had heard that Pilates was a workout for your core, but I now realize it is much more. My classes from Naomi have not only improved my core but also with her help, I have learned how to use Pilates to improve my posture and my strength and stamina. Naomi is focused on the health and education of her clients and has shared valuable insights with me. Whenever I have had a specific body issues she has taken the time to show me the exercises that will benefit the problem and sent me home with illustrations of the exercises I can do on my own. Her classes are informative and a workout – she has taught me why I need to keep my body strong and balanced. I am very grateful to her for this awareness and for the classes that she offers. - Kathryn K.

Naomi is a warm, caring, supportive, encouraging teacher, never judgmental. Her goal is for her students to feel better physically, have more control over their bodies by adjusting each exercise based on a student's ability. If we have any issues because we hurt ourselves elsewhere just living life, she ensures we are exercising safely and without pain, and frequently gives us helpful exercises to continue at home to improve our "issues." She is a wonderful example of Pilates impact on the body, and it has become a way of life for me. - Laura M.
