TESTIMONIALS

“Hally’s Pilates classes pack a powerful punch for all parts of the body. It’s so amazing to get such a strong workout in an hour, without sweating profusely or feeling overwhelmed and fatigued. It truly feels like a constant stretch as well as toning. While Hally focuses on all muscle groups, the attention on the core is what I truly love most about Pilates. She keeps your abs engaged in all movements. Doing low reps, and moving slowly and methodically has really changed my body for the better. I consider Pilates somewhat of a physical therapy too! I leave an hour with Hally feeling refreshed and elongated!”

“I look forward to Hally’s class everyday. The classes are never the same. She always incorporates new and challenging exercises. Hally’s calm, supportive style, coupled with her knowledge of functional anatomy make her classes the best! ”

“Hally’s livestream classes have been a lifesaver during COVID. She fosters an incredibly open and safe environment, encourages modifications (whether leveling up or taking it down a notch) to align with your needs that day, and changes things up so no two classes ever feel the same. Whether due to experience, incredible intuition, or just “the magic of Hally” she knows when you need that extra reminder to “relax your shoulders” or that nudge of encouragement to “lift a little higher”. Even through virtual classes, Hally’s voice feels like she is talking directly to you and brings you back to the days in the studio. Pilates classes with Hally are a NEED and a MUST! ”

“Meditating with Hally is comforting and much needed during these trying times. Hally has taught me to set my intentions and to find inner peace and kindness. Listening to Hally articulate techniques to manage stress and reduce negative emotions allow me to get through the day or fall asleep at night. ”

“When I sign up for Hally’s class it is all I look forward to all morning. When I am in the class I feel grounded, present, and strong. Hally has the ability to simultaneously build my confidence and self-esteem but also challenge my body and mind. The class is different every time you take it, but no matter the variations it is always a guaranteed full body workout. When I want to break a pose, she is there to motivate and encourage me to hold on. Since starting taking classes at Thrive I have better posture, increased flexibility, and decreased muscle soreness and aching throughout the day.”

“Hally brings a tremendous amount of passion and knowledge to her work, really meeting people where they are mentally and physically. In 2020, she provided our Comcast employees with both a Pilates and meditation session and the feedback from employees was outstanding. She has been requested to come back and teach ever since!”
