Krisztina Nadasi is a very hard worker who has used Pilates to relieve stress and improve her quality of life. She is an Xcel Pilates Studio regular.

I work in a high-paced and demanding environment. Long hours and stress come with the job. Unfortunately, I am no longer a "29 year old", and the effects of my occupation caught up with me about a year ago. I began to suffer frequent and painful chest pains that eventually landed me in the doctors office. Thankfully, I did not require any major operations, but my cardiologist told me that I must change my lifestyle and find ways to reduce my stress.

I decided to try Pilates. After doing some research, I found Celeste Mackenzie. She is a highly qualified instructor, who uses a variety of techniques and tools to maximize my two visits per week. She has great enthusiasm and promotes positive thinking in each one hour session. I look forward to my time with her, because I can count on her to teach me the most effective methods to make Pilates beneficial for me. In the small group sessions, Celeste develops a friendly, comfortable environment where each individual receives equal attention. Plus, it has been a great way to make new friends.

After only 8 months, I am a considerable healthier person. I am surprised by the amount of energy, strength, and flexibility that I have gained since starting Pilates. At work and at home, I have noticed that I think more clearly and have greater focus. And, I have even lost 10 pounds! Celeste's Pilates course has truly improved my life.
