Olivia Williams Pilates

I’ve been doing Pilates with the wonderful Olivia since May 2022. I would say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my body. I am an active athlete and ran track at the collegiate level. I came to her initially because I am a Massage Therapist with the goals of just being overall wellness for myself and clients. Since working with her I’ve been able to connect with my body on a deeper level and really develop a whole new love and care for it. Olivia is an overall an amazing person. I looked forward to our weekly sessions because she teaches from her heart and her passion is felt and reflected in her work. Some people teach Pilates, with Olivia she is one who breaths and lives Pilates and I feel that is important when doing this type of work. Since working with Olivia and doing this work, I’ve benefited both mentally, physically and even spiritually. I didn’t realize how compressed I was and limited in my range of motion because being an athlete and lifting heavy was all I knew. Doing Pilates I’ve learned that that less is truly more and learning to work with my body instead of against it. I’ve gained a whole new love for my body and for Pilates. Thank you Olivia for all you do, you know I appreciate you. So glad our paths cross! One of the best Investments I’ve made.-Antoinette

Started sessions with Olivia in 2018 and am so grateful for her consistent dedication to my health. Extremely knowledgeable and has helped me so much with my lower back issues!

Olivia is the real deal! The training she has provided changed the way my body moves and feels. Pilates works!

Olivia is a wonderful Pilates instructor. Patient, willing to explain movements and has a great eye for detail. As a beginner, she made me feel comfortable and each lesson I came away knowing more about my body. Highly recommend her lessons!

As a Pilates instructor, Olivia is one of the finest I have ever worked with in the 14 years I've been doing Pilates. Coming from a dance background, her approach to Pilates is very different than conventional team sport athlete, and helps to improve coordination, flexibility, and strength in ways that would not necessarily occur to most Pilates instructors. She is a very patient yet demanding instructor, who takes great pride in watching her students improve themselves over time. She also has an extraordinary understanding of the biomechanics of the human body, and is able to articulate that when teaching new movements and exercises. I would strongly recommend her classes for anyone- from a serious athlete to a casual fitness enthusiast - who is looking to improve themselves and have a fun time along the way.

I’ve been doing Pilates with Olivia for about 8 years, maybe longer. Every Wednesday at noon I have a class and I really try not to miss. I’ve noticed so much improvement in my flexibility and strength but I’m still always challenged and learning. I’m almost 70 and plan to be doing Pilates with Olivia into my 80’s and 90’s health willing. I love it!

I started Pilates after they were recommended by my massage therapist to help with back pain. I saw Olivia for about 2 years and needed to stop for a year. When I was able to go back I didn't think of going anywhere but to Olivia. She is kind, encouraging, motivating and I always get stronger working with her. I never want to miss a lesson. It is my retreat from my job and kids once a week. I feel great making and keeping this type of commitment to myself. Olivia makes me feel great to work towards every goal set. I recommend her to everyone I talk about Pilates with.

Olivia is a fantastic Pilates instructor. She has a strong understanding of movement, and is patient and willing to explain the benefit of each nuance of the activity. She is fantastic at customizing a workout for my specific needs each session. She has helped me improve my strength and flexibility and gently challenges me to push my limits and increase my core stamina. With Olivia’s training, I am committed to getting stronger and increasing flexibility and balance every week!

I cannot say enough good things about the benefits I have experienced from the guided Pilates sessions with Olivia.  In her safe and supportive studio, I have been encouraged to push my limits and try new things. I have laughed at my missteps, celebrated my successes and made significant improvement in strength and flexibility.  Olivia is a true gem I plan to work with her well into my future.

Olivia is truly a wonderful and talented Pilates instructor! She is very meticulous about guiding me to use proper form and alignment during exercises and she tailors each lesson to what my body needs. I’ve been working with Olivia for a few years now and I still always come out of a lesson feeling like I have learned something new. On top of that, Olivia is a really sweet and fun person and her Pilates studio space is very cute :)
