I am a yoga teacher and have been working with Luiza for over a year. My sessions are always great. I am 70 with some body deals/injuries and Luiza helps me modify exercises in ways just right for my strong yet aging body. Pilates is a great way to build and maintain a strong core, to improve my balance and stay grounded. I weave her Pilates instruction into my yoga. Thank you, Luiza.

Total awesomenes! In only 6 classes - twice a week I had amazing results. Luiza managed to awaken some of those stubborn muscles that thought they were retired! Her class is never boring, always something different! I love it!

The best pilates sessions I’ve ever been. I was visiting my friends in Raleigh for two weeks and I wanted to spend some time on pilates while I was in town. Luiza kindly answered my all questions before the session and she was very flexible in time wise. All three sessions were very detailed oriented and her instruction was very clear. I can feel that my core already developed. I highly recommend sessions with her and I will visit her again soon!

By far the best pilates instructor I have ever come across. Working with Luiza put me in the best shape of my life, and she is the perfect balance of fun and pushing you to your limits. She works with you to help customize to your needs, and I always like little extra leg workout. She always manages to incorporate a little extra for you.

If I could give Luiza 10 stars I would! I can not recommend her and her way/style of teaching enough.

Almost 10 years ago , I wanted to begin a Pilates regiment but knew nothing about the different type of Pilates or where to begin. This is when I met Luiza and I will say her and her teaching method of Pilates was the best thing that happened to me and my fitness goals!

As a beginner, Luiza took so much time to make sure I perfected the form of every exercise while still making sure I was getting a fantastic workout. As the years went on, Luiza did a fantastic job making sure every instruction with her was different, never felt repetitive, which kept me into Pilates for so many years!

Luiza is a fantastic teacher at every skill level from complete beginner to fully advanced and I personally have the experience with every level of teaching she offers. She knows every machine inside and out. And the biggest advantage besides Luiza being an amazing instructor, for those of you who are familiar, she is licensed in Romana style of Pilates. This is the teaching of TRUE Pilates straight from Joseph Pilates, the originator of Pilates and the Pilates equipment.

If you are debating beginning Pilates with Luiza do not question it any longer I have no doubt this will be the best thing you do and you will have one of the best instructors I have been able to experience!

Luiza is the best! I started going to Luiza after completing physical therapy post hip surgery, and she helped me immensely. She knows how to push you just enough to build strength but not overdo it. And on top of getting a great workout, she is fun to be around. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have been working with Luiza for almost 8 years. She is great at customizing the workout to fit your individual needs at the same time pushing you to do more and making it fun. When asked about his Pilates work —- my husband loves to tell his buddies “ I didn’t know I needed this!” Luiza is the best!!

Luiza is my favorite pilates teacher! In fact, she is who I credit as the reason I fell in love with pilates!

I was a young professional when I started to take sessions with her, doing duets at first, then privates and the occasional group class. After a month, I was addicted.

I was also spending more than I planned because as we know pilates is not the cheapest form of fitness. That said, the results I got more than justified the cost. Luiza applies an athletic approach to Pilates that makes each of my sessions with her very effective. She helped me change parts of my body that I thought I would have to live with forever because of natural body composition.

To be candid, my hips and inner thighs shrank and I trained my ribs to remain drawn in from pelvic floor activation. We used to joke that when people would ask me what I was doing for training, I would say "Body by Luiza".

She also helped me improve my posture greatly and also eliminated the pains I occasionally would experience from sciatica.

A session with her is the results of 3 group fitness classes. Trust me! They are worth it!

Luiza is a great Pilates instructor and I know this because I took classes and private sessions with her for 5 years until she moved out of state. As a former professional ballet dancer, she is very well trained and knowledgeable in her craft. I couldn’t do all the other activities I do without Pilates. Now I do mat classes with her on Zoom and she kicks my butt!!!
Anyone who trains with her will be very well taken care of and lucky!

Luiza was my very first Pilates Instructor. She taught me everything I know and is extremely knowledgable, patient, hard working, dedicated and motivating. Over the years, I definitely noticed improvements in my core strength and posture. I would recommend Luiza over and over again. She is very skilled and does a great job getting to know her clients and adapting to their specific needs and skill sets.

Luiza is simply the most engaging and best instructor ever. She helped me to develop and increase my strength and flexibility. Her knowledge and expertise of the Romana's Pilates method is unmatched. She catered to my individual needs and encouraged me to work hard and the results have encouraged me to continue. I never feel bored or burnt out. Her studio is welcoming and the equipment is very clean and in tip top shape.

I have taken Pilates with Luiza for nearly 10 years, almost entirely as a private student, both on mat and on all of the Pilates equipment. Luiza is the one who really got me loving Pilates. She is an excellent instructor, always making Pilates challenging and FUN! She also understands about adjusting exercises to accommodate various injuries I've had over the years.

On a personal note, Luiza is a real sweetheart. Even after Luiza moved to North Carolina, most of her students have kept up with her -- she has a Chicago fan club! You will not go wrong with Luiza as your guide to Pilates.
