“I cannot say enough good things about Brooke. She is encouraging, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She learned all about me; my strengths, my weaknesses, and issues to resolve. My posture, my flexibility, and overall health have improved with her guidance and instruction. I have had the opportunity to coach athletics at all levels, including NCAA Division 1, and I can tell you Brooke is a great instructor and mentor.”

John G.

“After retiring and moving to the High Country, we began working with Brooke, first with semi-private sessions and then one-on-one. She is an incredible Pilates instructor and has helped us both come back from knee replacements and deal with various other physical issues. Her style is easy, encouraging, and interactive. She constantly assesses our needs so that each workout is challenging and tailored to keep us moving forward in improving our health and well-being. We always leave feeling better!”

Tom & Melissa, Banner Elk, NC

“I have been a client of Brooke at Beyond Pilates since 2019. I came to her after several years of being down with a torn meniscus and broken leg. She has helped me tremendously in recovering my strength and using my core again in ways I could have never done on my own. She has a unique ability to key into my needs. Sometimes without even saying what they are! Her knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge is key to making the progress I have made.

“I’m so thankful for Brooke and the progress I have made.”

Elizabeth

“As a client of Brooke's for the past several years I can honestly say how much I have benefited from participating in her classes. She epitomizes both technical and personal skills in Pilates to create a stronger and more lengthened body overall. I look forward to many more sessions with her as my body and mind compliment her great ability to bring out the best.”

Judie

“In my two years working with Brooke in Pilates, I have seen amazing improvement in my core/body strength and flexibility, and a definite reduction in pain and injuries...all very vital to my performance on the tennis court AND in daily life! She has reinforced how important "maintenance" of my ("senior") body is if I desire to stay active for a long time! Brooke's extensive knowledge, professionalism, patience, and kind personality make every session not only a great workout, but most importantly a BLAST!”

Lindsey L., Blowing Rock, NC

“Because I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Lupus, my body can be very tricky to navigate in the physical therapy world. Multiple therapists have caused further pain. Erin was different. She actually listened and seemed to really understand what I was going through. After one year of Pilates, physical therapy, and treatment, I can sit on my tailbone way longer than I was able to before. I’m also able to dance again and am overall stronger with less pain.”

Hayley L.

“I became a Pilates client of Erin in the fall of 2019. By that time, I had been through major surgeries and had lost touch with my former, more active self. Erin meets you where you are on your fitness journey, focusing on good form and overall body functionality to help you meet your goals. She has a great down-to-earth demeanor and lets humor flow through all of her sessions. I feel encouraged, strong, and more connected to my physical body in a way I have not been for years. Working with her has been a great blessing.”

Randi S.

“Postpartum care with Erin was essential as she helped all my organs fit back in their place again. She also helped rehab an SI injury that occurred 3 weeks after birth. I cannot stress enough how important her care has been throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey. I couldn’t have felt this good or been this prepared without her!”

Dr. Paige Bourassa of Shen Medicine

“I was new to Pilates this year. Erin has helped my strength and posture. I used to run all the time and then injuries and pain kept me away. Now, I feel great when I run because of the work we have done.”

Kathryn O.

“Miranda is an incredible Pilates instructor! She has a high level of knowledge and the ability to apply that individually based on different needs and body issues. Miranda always challenges me, our routine and exercises are always changing, she is very innovative. My body is stronger and much more flexible from our workouts. I look forward to every session with Miranda, she is amazing!”

Linda, Blowing Rock, NC

“After having major surgery on my chest I found it hard to complete any daily tasks. Standing was painful, bending over was painful, I was weak and in a very demanding job. After doing Pilates for about a year I can say I have never felt so strong and confident in my body!”

Kim, Gainesville, FL

"Today we had our first online Pilates session with Jennah. It was perfect! I set up my computer in an area of the house where we could exercise. I simply clicked on the link that Jennah emailed to me and up popped the Zoom screen. Donna and I did a duet. Jennah could see us well and could tell us to make adjustments just like in the studio. It felt like a complete workout and totally useful. I highly recommend it."

Rob, Boone, NC

"Just finished my first online Pilates lesson and it was great! I was a little unsure about the ability of the instructor to see all the things I was doing wrong or needed to adjust in my body while watching me on a computer but it was not a problem at all. Every time my shoulders tensed or my hips rocked, I was gently asked to make the proper adjustments! The workout was challenging as well - I had forgotten how challenging a mat class can be. Thank you Beyond Pilates for offering this option while we all try and make a difference in our community."

Debbie, Boone, NC

"Each of the practitioners that I have worked with at Beyond Pilates is very friendly, professional, and successful at creating an environment for a great workout and friendly experience. I had heard wonderful things about Beyond Pilates from friends and I was hooked from the first appointment."

Lindsay, Boone, NC

"The team is highly knowledgeable and always changes the workout so I’m never bored. They listen to your needs and try to attend to them. After a session, I feel invigorated and stretched out. It is one of the best Pilates studios I have been to."

Sue, Boone, NC

"I had taken a few group classes before but with minimal instruction. I appreciated each instructor’s individual attention and an in-depth explanation of moves and the overall approach. They have incredible energy, empathy, and professional expertise!"

Marie, Boone, NC

"I was trepidatious at first, but once I understood the equipment and the moves my confidence grew. It was a tremendous help that Jennah and Nicole were so patient with me, challenged me, and have now re-engineered my workouts so that I get more benefit from “smaller” movements."

Carolina, Boone, NC

"I started Pilates when I was about ten weeks pregnant and I truly believe that Beyond Pilates transformed my pregnancy. Not only did the physical aches and discomfort alleviate, but I learned tips for handling them along the way. We incorporated stretches that helped with the physical changes and I felt more confident in my pregnancy because of my sessions."

Sara Beth, Boone, NC

"I had a fall that caused pelvic torsion and a slight rotation in the L5 vertebra. Parker was incredibly reassuring and helped me every step of the way as I learned how to properly move and align myself through the exercises. Parker always took great care to explain things to me, why the movement was important, and how strengthening in that area would benefit another."

Tanna, Boone, NC

"Jennah is knowledgeable and supportive. My foot and ankle health have improved. She has helped me create pelvic stability with simple movements with safe and supportive instruction. Pilates is a must for every-BODY. Every session helps you create strength, length, and support so you can move through your days with ease."
