Elizabeth at Core Pilates is my best “find” while being stationed here in Rota. Her training expertise and knowledge of Pilates and the human body is incredible. Her classes are well planned out, flowing seamlessly through deceptively challenging exercises.

She supports you beyond the studio too, recommending specific exercises, stretches, and habits that can easily be incorporated into your day. She makes it a point to understand the needs and goals of each person in her class and adapts each routine to accommodate every skill set.

Core Pilates has been the emotional and physical outlet I needed during COVID, if you’re on the fence about whether to try…. here’s my advice, do it.    I’ve noticed increased muscle strength, flexibility, balance and energy. Her small studio has such positive energy, it’s the last thing on my calendar I will ever cancel. If Elizabeth has an opening… take it, because it won’t stay open long, and you’ll never regret carving out the time to focus on yourself.

Elizabeth is great at what she does, and super fun to train with! Her workouts are engaging and challenging. I started noticing results right away, in terms of how I was using my body throughout the day, and it wasn't long before I also noticed that I was looking more toned.

My sessions at Core Connection were also really helpful for recovering from some injuries and pain issues.

I highly recommend Elizabeth and core Connection Pilates!

Elizabeth took me under her wing when I was diagnosed with the worse postnatal case of diastasis recti in our city. I was told it was hopeless by the medical community. With her knowledge and positive support, I went from a 5 cm gap to a 1.5 in 6 months!

Not only is she a gifted, holistic conscious movement instructor, but a beautiful soul. The mind/body/soul connection is an important part of the transformational process, so it is an added bonus that each workout is infused with these aspects.

I am very excited to continue working with Elizabeth through this channel, and that so many others will benefit as I have. To my personal trainer, spiritual runny buddy and dear friend-thank you and I love you!

I first met Elizabeth when I was 15 weeks pregnant, my daughter is now 8 months old and I have worked with Elizabeth consistently throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum journey. I can’t explain how grateful I am that I met her when I did and getting the opportunity to work with her during this time. Doing Pilates with Elizabeth each week kept me strong during my pregnancy. When the pandemic hit and we were forced into lockdown she was still there, providing classes online and even recorded a meditation for me to listen to before bed.

She was truly a guiding light for me leading up to the birth and I think she helped me as much emotionally as she did physically. After my daughter was born I had a diastasis recti separation of about 4 fingers wide. I started back with Elizabeth and we went slow but steady to get my body moving again. Pilates with Elizabeth proved to be the perfect postpartum workout. Elizabeth helped me understand the new changes in body from the pregnancy, such as how my posture changed and even how I stood. We gently worked together and I gained strength (along with confidence) every week.

My diastasis separation is now healed, and I feel better than ever. I believe working with Elizabeth and her methods have helped me gain a better understanding and major appreciation for my body. I now know how to listen to my body and what it needs to feel good. This has been a major blessing postpartum and during a pandemic! I can’t recommend Pilates with Elizabeth enough! She is thoughtful and takes pride in her work, she will challenge you and you can tell she truly enjoys what she does. Plus she’s a lot of fun to hangout with 🙂
