Tina Grella- June Star of the Month

How long have you been taking Pilates?

I started back in January of this year.

What do you like about 15 to Fit?

I love the instructors!  The classes are small, so you can get one-on-one instruction.  The instructors focus on proper form so you don’t get injured.   I also love that it is a close-knit community. 

You were already fit and active when you began coming to 15 to Fit.  So what made you choose Pilates?

I was having knee issues and wanted to do a full-body workout that was low impact.  I have a friend that has a reformer, and she said I had to try it.

How has your body changed since beginning Pilates?

I’ve definitely become stronger and leaner.  I have more core strength.  Also, I don’t wake up feeling sore in the mornings.  However, I do also believe that diet plays a huge part in that, too.

What have you done to achieve these results?

I come to class quite often- typically five days a week.  At first, I was only coming about two times per week, but I decided I wanted to do even more.

What has 15 to Fit done to help you?

They help me get in a great workout routine and really hold me accountable.

What would you say to someone who has a hard time sticking to an exercise routine?

I’d say if you’re really serious about your goals, put your all into it and make it happen.  Stop wasting your time and money.  Find a way to get over your obstacles and do it!
