I have been taking classes with Simone for several years now. She is a fabulous instructor and so passionate about her work and helping others achieve their goals. Her classes are well thought out and very challenging. She is always creating new choreography and I always look forward to her music playlist. Her high energy motivates her students to go beyond what they think they are capable of without losing proper form. She has helped me work through a few injuries and truly cares about each and every one of her students. I have been working out for many years, but my muscles have never been as tone and sculpted as they are now. I have achieved strength I never thought I could achieve. I could not recommend Simone's classes enough..she is amazing!

Simone is an outstanding teacher. I have been attending her classes for about 3 years and before this, I had never taken any organized classes. She truly cares about all of her students and takes special care to focus on us individually to make sure we are executing the moves correctly. She combines positivity with encouragement and makes me feel like I can really push myself to improve. And the classes are amazing - always different, perfectly challenging and her playlists are the icing on the cake. During COVID, she hasn't missed a beat, adapting the studio to virtual so we could continue to workout together on Zoom and reopening only when it felt right.

I've been a student of Simone's for eight years and it has been an amazing journey of enhancing my strength and flexibility however on a deeper level my mind/body connection and refining the nuances of working out. Barre is a great exercise to add to an existing workout lifestyle as it really serves as a nice capstone to round out whatever other activities you do. Add to that, being taught by such an A-TEAM performer, a real top shelf professional who LOVES what she does. This is her stage craft and she's seriously the best I've taken (and I've taken many), whatever your level, whatever other activities you are into, Simone is one of the most amazing guides to help you find your best workout and mindset to working out. She's focused and will focus you whether you want it or not - you will work hard, you will surprise yourself with what you do and be proud of the personal development you build. Guilford got lucky that she chose to move here and start a strength and workout studio - she has a hard-core following and I'm one of her groupies. SIMONE I LOVE YOU!!

I attend barre via zoom and this class has become a 'must do' as part of my weekly routine. I've gotten noticeably stronger and more flexible. The classes are challenging but the key is sticking with it and the satisfaction of progress. Simone is a positive, detailed and inspirational teacher. Fabulous music too!

I've been taking Simone's barre workouts for over 7 years now. Her classes are challenging, thoughtful, and she's always coming up with new moves! From the music, to her instruction, to the inviting atmosphere in studio - her barre class is simply the best!

Simone, is an inclusive, inspiring, extremely knowledgable, articulate and creative teacher - I'm amazed how attentive she can be on so many levels at once - guiding students live in the studio while equally helpful to students on Zoom. And for busy people like me, if I miss a class, I request it "on-demand" and to take later, She gives equally careful, precise, encouraging direction no matter if you are a beginner or advanced. Simone teaches us to be so much more mindful of our bodies and the subtle daily movements that build strength, flexibility and balance.

The best barre on the shoreline! Classes are challenging and the level of instruction is great. I’ve been going to Simone’s classes since she first opened and I’m in the best shape of my life.

It’s one thing to be a crazy-knowledgeable-gifted barre teacher who can help students within arm’s reach to attain perfect form and push through the challenge zone. Simone’s innate ability to hone in on and rouse you to tone the daylights out of every muscle you own transcends barre class as usual, thank God. So while I absolutely prefer in-person class, I can fullly attest that there is zero lost enlisting Simone to kick my every muscle via zoom or ondemand. Because you are in her room “at large” via zoom, your form is artfully monitored and corrected. Via ondemand you still feel the connection and energy of everyone in the room and benefit from the constant form cues and profound collective power. And, thankfully, Erin is Simone’s equal, delivering stretch, strength, and serenity across the board. For those on the shoreline who truly want to get it done in the most thoughtful possible way, trueform is truly the best possible answer

Simone teaches a really challenging group class and at the same time is able to personalize it to meet individual needs and limitations. She inspires me to push myself harder and discipline myself to be more precise with my movements. The classes will make you stronger and feel lighter.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with Simone. The classes are challenging in just the right ways, the studio is beautiful, and everything is very professionally run. Most impressive, each session is a little different so nothing ever feels like routine. Simone knows her stuff, and also gets to know each person's strengths and challenges and coaches gently to help build strength, flexibility, and confidence. A wonderful workout!

I joined Trueform Studio several months ago, and I’m so glad I did. Simone is a fantastic teacher! She motivates you to work hard. Not only does she teach you to take care of your body, she also teaches you to discipline your mind. I have been taking her class for nine months and I feel strong and healthy. Her classes have become part of my weekly routine. Highly recommend!

Exceptional quality class and overall experience! Easy to schedule and pay, reasonably priced; all equipment top-quality and sanitized. Group experience with personal coaching - everyone in class knows they are receiving focused training in a supportive yet challenging environment (with great music). I wish I could be here all the time, but I'm happy to have the Zoom or on-demand options when I'm not in town.

Simone's barre class is excellent! She has a strong grounding in barre and is a wonderfully attentive instructor who cares about each and every student. Simone works seamlessly with new as well as experienced students in the same class both in-studio and online. I am especially pleased to be back in the studio with a real barre attached to the wall and where it is so much easier for her to give helpful corrections on your form during and after class.
