“I am a 76 year old woman with a bad back that limits the exercises I can do. I went to Happy Body for a reformer pilates. I wasn’t sure I would be able to complete the session with my limited mobility, however it was wonderful. I was able to exercise for the entire hour, with the help of the very patient teacher, without any back pain. I’m hooked!”
