I am 69 years old and have been an active person all of my life. As aging began to insert issues, such as achy joints and stiff muscles, into my active lifestyle I decided that I needed more personal attention to and direction with my training. Working with Robyn has provided that for me. My goal, when I started was to accomplish a successful, unassisted roll up from a lying position. That goal has been achieved. In addition, I have improved my general strength and flexibility with Robyn’s guided training. I can’t say that all of the aging related issues have disappeared however, I feel less vulnerable to physical deterioration. My goal now is to achieve significant old age while remaining physically strong, straight and balanced. Joyce Clinton

The Pilates apparatus classes give me a way to exercise within my body’s limits without ever becoming frustrated with them. I feel so lucky to have found Robyn, since no other instructor of anything has gotten me past my body angst. Every time I come to Robyn and say, “this is bothering me,” she always finds a way that will avoid making it worse, while strengthening the area. And having fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and many other physical issues, there’s lots to work around! Robyn has taught me how to exercise safely when I am unwell, and that I can do anything after proper preparation. I have often gone into a class with a migraine or in a flare, and walk out refreshed, in less pain, and full of optimism.

I have tried all of her class types, and find the semi-private reformer lo be my favorite, lots of fun, a good challenge, always different, and with enough personal attention for my needs. Robyn paired me with someone with complementary body issues; every class is seemingly designed just for us. Annabelle Jessop

The classes are small, fun, and she provides feeling of real personalized service. She explains the exercises very clearly and always ensures we have the correct form. We are very lucky to have Robyn in our area. I have seen a noticeable difference in my posture and core strength since taking Robyn’s classes. Robin Andrew

Your excellent direction online is equally as good as in class so I’m delighted that I can practice online now.  You are big part of my recovery from GBS as well as helping cope during the pandemic. Cathi Boutwell

Robyn and I have been working together for years to improve my body self-awareness as well improving posture, body alignment and strength. I visit her studio twice a week and feel so wonderful, happy and relaxed when I leave after each session. Robyn always makes sure that any movement I am doing on the Reformer is done efficiently with concentration on a particular set of muscles. She will point out to me ways to make a movement easier if I am having an ‘off’ day, and I truly appreciate that. Her gentleness, grace and beautiful smile make it a joy to show up each day.

Throughout her sessions, Robyn has encouraged, and challenged me to achieve exercise levels that I never thought were possible. What has also developed, is that she positively and quietly helped me to appreciate who I am. She is such a personal testimonial to her practice of Pendulum Pilates that you feel privileged to be participating in her classes. The bonus, my golf game has improved with no more sore shoulders, and back issues! Thank you Robyn, for the lovely person you are and your desire to help others, through the practice of Pilates.

After years of different fitness regimes, I can state that after continued Pilates workouts at Pendulum Pilates, I have a stronger, more toned, and more flexible body. I also have achieved a more positive mental focus with no acquired workout related injuries. Also, the computer related neck tension is a past memory. Thank you, Robyn. Nancy Peckett

I have been surprised at how much Pilates has become incorporated into my everyday life with respect to my posture and general well being. My body image and confidence has vastly improved. Diane Walker

For years I had the classic “go hard or go home” type of mentality when it came to exercising. As I’ve gotten older, I decided to “try” a Pilates class as a means of giving my body a break and to try something new. Well, what I’ve experienced has certainly exceeded all my expectations. I consider both Robyn and her Pilates teaching as a great gift. Robyn is not only a warm and caring individual, but also an excellent and a knowledgeable instructor. Her passion for Pilates and her clients is evident in every class.  The changes to my body are undeniable. I feel strong and balanced. My attitude towards exercise changed as well. I will always incorporate Pilates training as a regular part of my week. I would encourage ANYONE considering taking a Pilates class to call Robyn and give it an honest try. You won’t be disappointed. Tracy Hennessey
