Client Testimonials:

I started working with Shannon when I was 15 weeks pregnant with our first child. I was hoping to avoid the problems I’d heard about from so many friends – back pain, hip pain, etc. – and stay as active as possible throughout my pregnancy. Prenatal pilates helped me do all that, but also proved to be so much more than I expected! I kept with it until 38 weeks and felt great the whole time, and I delivered our daughter in 4 pushes. The labor nurses were so impressed. Pilates has also proven to be a huge help with my postnatal recovery.

Working with Shannon has been a pleasure. Her knowledge of the prenatal/postnatal body is impressive, and I trusted her implicitly to know what I should be working on at each stage of my pregnancy and recovery. She is incredibly enthusiastic about activity during pregnancy, and was a great cheerleader on the days I was feeling huge and unwieldy! I still walk out of every session feeling like I got a workout and a visit with a supportive friend at the same time. I can’t recommend pilates or Shannon highly enough.

“I've taken group pilates classes taught by Shannon. Even in a group setting, I feel like I am getting one-on-one training. Her knowledge of human anatomy and muscle mechanics really shows through in her instruction. She is very creative in explaining the exercises and the reason for doing them.”

I had struggled with low back pain for 2 years. I tried massage therapy and I used heat/ice every night. I tried anything I could to relieve my back pain. I knew Shannon Briese while she was studying at one of the premier Pilates schools in Boulder, Colorado. I asked Shannon if there were any exercises she knew of that I could do to help relieve the tension in my low back.

After my first Pilates session with Shannon, I immediately felt a difference. Ms. Briese taught me how to connect my core muscles. Private Pilates lessons from Shannon Briese have helped me to train the muscles in my lower body to work in harmony. My lower back doesn’t bother me at all any more. Shannon Briese has given me the tools to stay completely pain free!

I see Shannon on a regular basis for a combination of Pilates and massage treatments. Shannon’s professional skills as well as education provide her with a deep understanding of the human body. She connects with her clients on many levels, while helping them achieve their personal goals. I would recommend Shannon Briese to anyone. She is a remarkable Pilates instructor as well as massage therapist.

“I started taking Pilates from Shannon when I first found out that I was pregnant. It was the best thing I could have done during my pregnancy. Shannon took the initiative to pair me up with a prenatal partner and worked with us each week to keep our bodies aligned amongst all the changes our bodies were going through. Overall I had a better, healthier pregnancy because of Shannon's pilates instruction. I would recommend Shannon's practice to all pregnant women and I plan on hiring her to help me get back in shape after the baby comes.”

A Pilates session with Shannon is a highlight whenever I travel to Denver. I have done Pilates for many years in a suburb of Chicago and there is no better instructor than Shannon Briese!

The studio is very clean and has all the best equipment.

Shannon makes Pilates really fun. She gives great explanations so it is easy to visualize the proper breathing. I rate her expertise and knowledge A+. Shannon never wastes a minute so you get your full hour and the maximum benefit from each exercise. She watches carefully to prevent injury and make sure my form is correct. A Pilates class with Shannon Briese is worth every penny and I strongly suggest you give it a try.
