I absolutely love Rob & would highly recommend him to anyone interested in Pilates.

My sessions at Pilates EmBodyment were essential in keeping me moving during multiple, extraordinarily difficult surgeries and near mortal mishaps.

I’ve had a Harrington rod since the age of 15 to remedy my scoliosis. Over time, the rod caused increasing lumbar disc compression and cervical misalignment, to the point where I required extensive spinal fusion surgery. This surgery carried a 50% risk of paralysis. However, paralysis was certain if I didn’t have the surgery. Thanks to my surgeon and my prayer warriors, I came through.

I was very excited to come back to Pilates EmBodyment. The studio is my “Happy Place” but I knew I had to be careful, as anyone who knows me will say, I can be very determined and wind up pushing myself too hard and too fast.

Rob always puts you at ease and is very knowledgeable. He collaborated with myself and my surgeon when planning my sessions. He modified my work around my specific protocols in order to keep me safe while continuing to strengthen me.

I have no doubt that my Pilates sessions played a pivotal role in keeping me mobile and centered during my recovery.

I’ve seen Rob help people recover from surgery and I’ve seen him conditioning high level dancers and athletes. He can help anyone and will welcome you with open arms.

"After hurting my back in one of those large classes at a local health club, I swore I would never return to that exercise environment. Thank goodness I found Pilates EmBodyment and Rob!

After meeting with Rob and discussing my back problems, I began taking pilates lessons, both private and small (6 or less) group classes. He is aware of each client's health and limitations, if any. He adapts the exercises, as needed, for each client as the class progresses. When I developed shoulder problems (unrelated to exercise), Rob was right there helping me learn the best way to continue exercising without pain or hurting myself further.

I have been taking classes at Pilates EmBodyment for about 8 years now and can truly say it has been life changing! I am in the best physical shape I have ever been in and I look forward to each and every class I take. Thank you Rob!"

"Much of my adult life has been complicated with upper and lower spine problems requiring 4 surgical repairs including implants and fusions.

When I finally got serious about feeling better I began twice weekly Pilates with Rob Lou and I haven’t taken an Aleve for my back in two years.

Can’t offer a better endorsement than that!"
