“Like many others, I started to explore exercise from home options with the onset of the Coronavirus. I reached out to Susan for virtual personal Pilates. Although I’ve heard of many of the benefits, I did not fully understand what I was getting into. Success in Pilates is not measured by how sore you are the next day. It is much more than that. With Susan’s guidance, I am reawakening muscles and connections within me that have been overlooked for far too many years. I feel myself growing stronger. I am a little more flexible every day. The focus I have during my virtual workouts is amazing. There are no distractions and Susan is focused on my every move and making sure I am using my body correctly. I thought I would be missing out without all the equipment, but the opposite is true. I also thought this would be a stop gap till gyms opened but again I was so wrong. I am looking forward to continuing my work with Susan when we are all allowed back outside. This is something I can do from anywhere (with a wifi connection) and I am looking forward to keeping Pilates in my regular routine. I’ll be 65 this summer and Susan is making me feel younger every day. Thank you!”

“I started working with Susan at her practice Premiere Pilates this winter to help me to regain my body’s overall strength, control and flexibility after an injury; needed to refocus my mind as well. Susan’s knowledge , experience and love of Pilates makes her a fantastic teacher. Instructions , demos and feedback are always clear , concise and overwhelming positive ! From the very basics on the reformer and cadillac to the (new ) virtual mat classes I feel that each session is tailored to me—always multiple ways to accomplish the same skill if I do not get it the first time Susan is so motivating - feel like I have made unbelievable progress.
Pilates is a life long pursuit ... one I hope to be able to continue to pursue with Susan !”

“I moved to Sarasota 8 months ago and was concerned about finding a knowledgable Pilates instructor. I was very fortunate to meet Susan Landsman who is exceptionally talented and capable. Her in-depth and broad understanding of Pilates and the musculoskeletal interactions make her an extraordinary instructor. My sessions with Susan were the highlights of my week. I was so disappointed when the stay at home happened mainly because I did not want to miss these sessions. Susan was able to seamlessly pivot from her studio routines, using the reformer and other large equipment, to a virtual in-house effective mat routine tailored to my specific needs and abilities. She combines creativity, resourcefulness and knowledge. I can’t ask for anything better.”

“As seasonal residents of Sarasota for the last 4 years and not knowing our way around, we tried several Pilates studios before discovering Susan. Over the last winter, she did so much more than any other Pilates instructor to improve our mobility, strength and posture. We can not say enough good things about her.”

“I have been doing pilates with Susan for close to 10 years and am so grateful for her attentive guidance in learning muscle control and core strengthening! After several back surgeries, including fusions, core strengthening became a goal. Susan’s tremendous knowledge of anatomy and pilates exercise has enabled me to recapture an active lifestyle. And....we have fun!”

“I do pilates classes in Toronto 5 days a week - but can’t wait to get to Sarasota each winter for my sessions with Susan. She is an absolute professional - designing work out time to best benefit me and my needs and helping me better understand my body. I am so thankful that I found her!! ”

“Pilates with Susan is a truly special experience. She is phenomenally knowledgeable and every week is different. She is able to tailor each session to accommodate whatever “ails each of us” and to have us exercise in a safe and respectful manner that maximizes the workout. I look forward to Thursday AM with Susan as a wonderful and very important part of each week.”

“Susan is such an excellent instructor always tailoring the session perfectly to challenge you so you get the most out of it and giving the perfect cues so you and your body “get it”. ”

“Susan has been my Pilates Master for three years. I am an orthopedic surgeon and used to have constant back pain which had not responded to physical therapy, medications, back injections, and treatment by multiple physicians. Susan’s Pilates program has given me my life back and I don’t need any other treatments. I have been to many Pilates studios around the country and the best studio is Susan’s. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Sarasota is very fortunate to have her here.”
