Energi Pilates - Bonita Springs, Florida

I wanted to share my experience so the instructor might be more mindful when other similarly situated clients come in. I came to Energi soon after recovering from a C-section. While I was out of shape, I've been practicing Pilates for 20 years and have plenty of experience. I came in for a workout, but, instead, the instructor criticized my body and shoved her hands in between my abs apparently to show how weak she thought I was. She said she wasn't sure I could ever get back to where I was physically. I've trained with top-notch Pilates instructors, including first and second generation teachers who were either directly trained by Joseph Pilates or were once removed. Energi Pilates' instruction comes nowhere close to the level of instruction I'm used to. On top of it, the worst part and what I found truly peculiar, was that the instructor asked if I was a single mom (I'm happily married)--Quite a strange thing to presume of someone you've never met. I haven't been back and don't plan to.

I have taken classes at 6 studios over the years and Energi Pilates is the BEST Hands Down! The Owner Diane Ambrose is extremely well trained in more than Pilates. She has training in fitness, golf, therapeutics and areas of medicine. You could not ask for anyone more well trained. I say that, as well, Nora Bridge the other full time instructor brings a unique set of skills as a Physical Therapist and well trained in Pilates. The 2 women compliment each other and have great personalities, discipline, and know the abilities of their students. The later is a uniqueness not found in any of the other studio that i have experienced. The class sizes are small ranging from 3-6 which allows for individual attention. I hope this review reaches many “want to be” Pilates students and/or, those looking to make a change!

I’d had no previous experience with Pilates, however a friend recommended Dianne to me. I was experiencing pain in my back and hip. Dianne was ver very patient with me and made me feel comfortable. She has vast knowledge of the body and is very professional. She has taught me about my body and how to strengthen it, along with balance and flexibility. I’m completely thrilled with my progress so far. Pilates is now in my heart and mind, knowing it will always be a part of my life! Dianne encourages the mindset of an active lifestyle through the aging process. I appreciate and am grateful for being introduced to Dianne and Energi Pilates!!

I’ve been going to Energi Pilates for over six years and will continue to do so. I’ve done both classes and one-on-one training and both have been great. Dianne and Nora keep things fresh and interesting while always looking for the best ways to help me reach my goals. Thank you, Energi Pilates!

I have been attending this studio for almost two years. I receive knowledgeable instruction, on well maintained equipment, in a clean studio, in an encouraging atmosphere-and while all these things make it awesome to attend classes here, the true excitement sets in when you see and feel the benefits in your body, for me, I’ve experienced many benefits, for instance my posture and my flexibility has greatly improved. I feel the instruction I receive from Diane and Nora is top notch and is directly associated with my fitness success.

Dianne and Nora are marvelous teachers, facilitators and encouragers. After close to three years of pilates instruction at Energi Pilates my life has changed. I am stronger. My posture is better, headaches are gone, I have more energy and I am more alert. Also, a side benefit is the friendships that have formed with fellow students.

I am so fortunate to be training with Dianne! She is like no other pilates trainer I've met. She customizes every workout to my needs, is insistent on proper technique and challenges me to improve each and every time I train. Dianne is extremely knowledgeable and cares deeply that anyone she trains achieve their personal best.

The studio is bright, well equipped and very clean. I highly recommend Dianne and Energy Pilates to anyone serious about improving their fitness and overall health!

I have been doing Pilates with Dianne for more than 5+ years. She is the most experienced and committed trainer who has a vast knowledge of Pilates and a passion for sharing her knowledge. She tailors each session to meet my specific needs and ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid injury and to get the most benefit from a specific exercise. Her new Pilates studio is comfortable, bright, spotless clean and very well equipped. I really enjoy going to Energi Pilates and highly recommend Dianne as a teacher/trainer.
