I am a marathoner who always rejected core training.  I tried everything from gym workouts to in-home equipment to videos/DVDs from my running coaches.  Nothing ever
lasted or interested me to the degree that I felt it was worth the further time commitment.  I started Pilates with Larisa at the beginning of September.  She changed not just the
way I feel but the speed and strength I have when I run.  The core and back muscles I have built through Pilates allow me to give my legs relief when I begin to feel fatigue
during training runs and races.  I can actively engage either muscle group to help me maintain my speed and continue through the distance.  New PRs and maintaining a
steady, consistent pace are the easily identifiable results.  I no longer having pain in my neck and across the tops of my shoulders (particularly in my traps).  Larisa
is as much a part of my training team as my running coach.  She works very hard to understand me as an individual with individual goals and needs.  She is a VERY large
part of making me a faster, better runner and also a stronger, healthier person.

Some years ago, I had major shoulder surgeries.  I just had my annual visit with my orthopedic surgeon (January 2012).  He was very impressed at the significant increase
in my range of motion since my last visit.  I credit the improvement as a result of my sessions at the Studio over the last five months.

I sustained an injury some time ago that resulted in a
torn IT band in my right leg. In May of this year, prior to starting my workout routine with you (Jen), I had a constant pain in my hip, felt
some pain in the opposite knee, and felt myself limping slightly at the end of a long day. At night my sleep was interrupted by the ache in my hip.  Today 5 months into  my new routine, I
have no aches or pains anywhere, nor any favoritism of my right leg, and have greatly enhanced my overall strength and flexibility.  Thank you

I have been receiving private pilates lessons from Larisa for about a year.  I had
major back surgery in November of 2009.  Needless to say it was not successful.  My pain management
doctor suggested I try pilates.  I see Larisa twice a week.  Since working with her I have been able to reduce my pain by strengthening my core.  I have also toned up and have visible
triceps.  She is very patient, extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and has taught me how to relax and reduce my
anxiety through pilates and breathing techniques. Her fee is VERY
reasonable (added plus). I highly recommend her as  I feel great every time I leave my lesson!

I have suffered from
auto-immune arthritis for 13 years. Every year it seemed that I would loose a bit more strength and I got to the point that my heart would pound and I had to rest after the
simplest tasks.

In the past I have always been very athletic. Lately, every time I began a new fitness regimen I would get some kind of injury and be instructed by my Doctor to stop until I was better. As the
years went by I just began to loose more strength which in turn caused me to have more injuries.

Then I found Pilates.  Pilates gives me strength,  flexibility, and the ability to work while protecting my weak spots until I gain the strength to use those areas, too. Using the correct form
prevented me from further injury.

Though I am still in pain, I am no longer week and fearful that I will fall or cause some other injury that would prevent me from living normally. As an added bonus I have
lost 18 lbs and 9
inches
off both my hips and thighs. My posture is back to what it was 20 years ago, and my flexibility is terrific!

I have been using the services offered at the studio for a few years now, and although I have always done some form of exercise or another, I cannot express the strength that I have
accomplished for supporting my
lower back. I rarely have any back pain , if at all.  The training has also lessened the pain I used to experience due to a neck injury.  This is all from the work
in Pilates.  Thank you.                                                                                           Pamela M.
                                                                                                         
I started with Larisa 4 months (May 2010) looking to look better for
my wedding day.  Since then I have lost 3 sizes and a cup size for my strapless wedding dress!! It is the best thing I have
done for myself in my life.  The day I walked by her studio and stopped, changed my life. I still do Pilates and will never stop! I can do things I never thought I would be able to and I feel so
much better.  She stops you if you’re doing something incorrect and corrects you (then you really feel it). I do 30 minutes of aerobics and 30 minutes of Pilates three days a week.  Now my
goal is to quit smoking and keep exercising. She is the best! Try it you won’t regret it!!                                                            Peggy Mohler

67 year old, advanced
stage 4 cancer survivor with all expected issues of lack of energy, strength, stamina, and lower back pain specific to need for core rehabilitation - Pilates, particularly
one with supervision from Larisa over the past year, has impacted dramatically the rebuilding of my core, reversing the atrophy of my muscles, and with dietary instructions assisted
positively with energy and stamina.  There are a number of Pilates instructors, however Larisa offers the difference in knowledge and experience.

I have worked with Larisa for over 5 years.  She has a keen sense of really understanding her clients and formulating ways in which they can make their lives better.  Not only is Larissa
superior when training with Pilates and Yoga, she is also fantastic when training in  more mainstream avenues.  I have trained with her through several important phases of my life.  She
got me in fantastic shape before my
wedding and after; she was phenomenal at training me throughout my pregnancy (I am convinced it is why I had such an easy pregnancy); and now
she is getting me back in top shape.  I rely on her also for her extensive knowledge of nutrition and how the body works.  She is so very knowledgeable with regards to nutrition and what is
best for your body.  Whether you are simply looking for getting healthy, loosing weight, or approaching a specific problem, she knows what will work best.  She'll get you physically fit,
healthier than you thought possible through nutrition, and help to bring you back in tune with your own body.  Larisa is by far the best trainer I have ever known...she ties everything together
to get you to achieve optimum wellness.  I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is thinking of taking a step to better wellness and health.

I have known Larisa Klein personally and professionally for over two years and in that time I have found her to be dependable, honest and professional.  I have requested patients to work
with Larisa using Pilates to help strengthen particular areas of he body and in all cases she followed my precautions and was successful in assisting with the treatment of the
patients.                                                       Dr. Harrietta Cecarelli                                                                                     
                                                                                                 
As an iron-man
triathlete, it is important for me to train with people who are extremely knowledgeable about their craft. Larisa is an extremely attentive instructor who really knows what
she's talking about. I enjoy working with her and appreciate what she has helped me to accomplish.                                      K. Fisher
                                                                                                
6 Years ago I was diagnosed with a muscular disease called
Fibromyalgia and degenerated discs in my spine. I  found that exercise helped control the pain caused by both of these
problems. High Impact aerobic exercise was too hard on my joints and muscles, so I tried Pilates as an alternative. Larisa was able to balance my muscle strength and flexibility through
Pilates workouts and yoga. Since then I have been able to  control my pain more effectively. Wellness Achieved is highly recommended for anyone trying to manage any illness or injury!

I have been doing Pilates with Larisa for about two years now and I've never felt better.  In the past my workout consisted of walking six miles a day, every day, or one hour of the eliptical  
and 30 minutes of weight training five days a week.  I was not very nice to my body.  There's only so much the body can take and my body, especially my knees, had had enough.  I ended
up with three meniscus tears and had
arthroscopic knee surgery in December of 2007.  Three weeks after surgery I was back to Pilates with Larisa.  She has been slowly helping me build
the muscle in my left thigh and I have seen a huge improvement in my strength.  But the most important thing I can say about my experience with Larisa's PIlates is that it is more gentle on
the body, it gives you a great sweat inducing workout in 30 minutes, two to three times week, and it will give you a very toned body if you are consistent.  My arms, back, and abs have never
looked the way they look now, even with all the working out I did.  Pilates with Larisa is a very thorough workout without the aches and pains  of other workouts and it is, at least for me, very
calming and therapeutic for the mind.  Eat a healthy diet and do Pilates twice a week and you won't believe the
results.                                                                                                                                       ELAINE ROGERS


Seven months ago I was diagnosed with severe
osteo arthritis in my right hip.  Surgery was the opinion of two orthopedic surgeons, but I needed to wait until February to schedule the
minimally invasive procedure.  A friend recommended I call Larissa at Wellness Achieved to see if Pilates could relieve my symtoms.  
I was amazed at Larissa's expertise.  Her knowledge of my body's strengths and weaknesses allowed me to improve my alignment and relieve a great deal of stress on my hip.  My
posture has improved, as well as my muscle tone.  I feel my body is prepared for surgery in a way I never could have achieved without Larissa and Pilates.
I look forward to a speedy rehab and a return to my Pilates regimen.                            SANDRA PROBER                                       

When I hurt my neck, I looked for a method of exercise that would strengthen my
back and neck without doing further damage to my neck.  I read about Pilates and had taken one class that
gave me greater pain.  Larisa took the time and effort to get the maximum benefit from Pilates without further damage to my neck.  After only three months, my neck has improved and my
total body is stronger and more fit.  I not only endorse Pilates, but have found that it takes a teacher with patience to work through existing problems to get the full benefit of the
program.                                                                                                                                       PAMELA MEREIDER
        
I began training with Larisa after being diagnosed with
osteoporosis and mild scoliosis.  Larisa is very knowledgeable and adapted a personal program to meet my needs.  My bone
strength has improved remarkably and my posture is getting better all the time.  I am very pleased with Wellness Achieved and find the atmosphere and staff professional with a balance of
personal care for each client.

After
3 children, I was able to look "HOT" at my high school reunion. Larisa really knows her stuff! As a massage therapist, I noticed an increase in my strength during a client. This
happened just after a few sessions. I never knew that my "core muscles" would make such a difference. She is not only a great Pilates instructor, but wise in many other areas. Anyone
who is looking for a way to get in shape for a lifetime, must at least try her SPECIAL OFFER.
