Torch Pilates Plus

This is a great mat pilates class, I wasn’t expecting it to be so challenging. Seriously, she tones up body parts you didn’t know you could get to! I recommend.

Lara is an extremely likable person and she is an awesome instructor. She is non intimidating and kind in her instruction. Don’t be mistaken, she will have you doing some killer moves that you will feel during and post work out so you know it is working. I would definitely recommend her.

Torch mat class was great! Perfect amount of difficulty! Lara is so nice and welcoming! Will definitely be back!

Hands down one of the BEST workouts I’ve ever had. Lara is amazing to work with! Pilates was completely foreign to me and being that it was my first time I was pretty nervous. But within the first few minutes of meeting Lara and getting on the machine my nerves were quickly put to ease. She is so so sweet and such an amazing instructor. She paid so much attention to every move I made and guided me throughout my session. She was encouraging and supportive and really catered to my strengths and weaknesses. I have another session scheduled with her and I’m truly looking forward to it! I highly recommend taking a class with her, you won’t regret it!

I have done 2 Pilates classes with Lara now and love her boutique studio! There’s so much attention and she remembers your strengths and weaknesses. The location is shared with a dance studio but she has a private area. I have been to her reformer and tower classes only but look forward to trying out her Torch mat classes :)

I’m sore today! Had an awesome workout last night from Lara. I registered late for the class and she was nice enough to stay and give me a private class even though she was heading out the door.
The way she explains and demonstrates moves made me feel them in places I never had. She will also help adjust you so you’re using the right muscles to maximize each move. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body; she named muscle groups and body parts I didn’t even know existed. But she explained them in a very easy to understand way — not a «know it all» arrogant way which I’ve expereinced in some classes.
She was very encouraging too. I recently had a baby so am not feeling that confident about my body. Lara made me feel empowered during class and I left feeling energized (even though my body was exhausted). :) She said she recently moved here from New York and specialized in pre and post natal health at her studio there. I could tell because she knew a lot about what pregnant women go through and how to get your body back post baby.
I’m looking forward to my next class at Torch!
