TESTIMONIALS: WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
Pamela Khoury has been a major force in my life. She teaches with such clarity and knowledge that I learn something new every time I take a class from her. She is an excellent teacher, and I highly recommend her to others. Carla D.
Working with Pamela has been an extraordinary experience. What makes her unique is not only her deep knowledge and skill, but also her personal approach—she meets you exactly where you are each day. If I come in with discomfort or aches, she thoughtfully adjusts the session to help relieve pain while still challenging me.
Her practice keeps me motivated and hopeful about my ability to change, to stay fit, and to remain vital. She requires focus and hard work, but that’s because she herself is so focused and works tirelessly alongside you. I always leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and inspired. Anna L.
For 25 years Pam has delved into her extensive training in Pilates, MELT, the Franklin Method and dance to successfully guide me on my life journey. Most importantly, I’ve learned and integrated an understanding of body mechanics. These skills keep me safe and strong during all daily activities: walking, bending, reaching, pushing. They are also the foundation for improved performance in competitive and recreational sports…and when I overdo it, resulting in injury or joint replacement, Pam guides me with an effective recovery plan. There is no doubt that Pam’s practice will continue to be critical to my physical and mental well being for as far into the future as I can see. Kathie F.
I have seen Pam as my Pilates teacher once a week for 15 years. The most important teaching I’ve gained from her is she has taught me to be aware of my body and apply the Pilates principles to myself the other 6 days of the week when I’m not seeing her. She is committed to her students “embodying” the distinctions of Pilates for life.
I have the highest regard for Pam as a teacher and Pilates instructor. I am forever grateful to Pam and recommend her highly. Jerry J.
“I’ve been a client of Pam for almost 10 years now. I have so much to thank her for. She has very carefully and gradually helped me build a remarkable core. After having children I was in a lot of pain and fear to move. Trusting Pam’s incredible expertise I learned how to move freely again. She still has new exercises for me after 10 years, constantly educating herself in the true Pilates techniques. She is warm and compassionate with her own experience to help. I feel comfortable in recommending Pam to anyone with an interest to build core strength and confidence in movement.”
Pam is an incredible teacher. She finetunes each exercise and explains exactly what part of the body you should be working on.
Pam is incredibly helpful with her cues, to teach you and help you understand, when you are not finding the correct way to do it. She varies our routines to make them interesting and focuses on different parts of the body.
As we age, she has advised me on alternative positions for my osteopenia and for those with osteoarthritis. I literally feel my spine stretch out longer after class, and am more conscious of how I stand, sit and move. I feel like my core is stronger and my alignment is better. I’m so lucky to be her student! -Ellen G.
“To move with elegance and ease, to know you are doing something just for you that will enhance and improve your life these are the gifts of joining Pam in the practice of Pilates. She shares her considerable gifts, knowledge and life experiences with humor, joy and discipline and your body is the beneficiary. It will improve your life in immeasurable and tangible ways. I have been a student of Pam for almost twelve years and our time together each week is something I cherish and look forward to.”
“Pam is a remarkable teacher on so many levels. She is deeply knowledgeable not only about pilates, but also about the details of human physiology and mechanics. I am someone who really likes to understand the how and why, and she can provide that in spades if you desire! I have learned so much about my body and movement from her, it has truly been transformative. And she does all that with warmth, humor, flexibility, passion. She is a gifted practitioner and a delightful human being. On a 5-star rating scale, she is a 6!!!”
“I have been training with Pam twice a week for approximately 8 years. I have always been very active, but she has provided me with a much greater understanding of functional movement. In my late 60’s I feel that I’m in better shape than I was in my 40’s thanks to her expansive knowledge of the workings of the body. It’s like having a Pilates trainer and PT all wrapped in one. Pam is dedicated to continuing her professional development at every given opportunity. I can’t imagine that there’s a trainer more attentive and capable than Pam anywhere.”
“I awoke one morning a few years ago with a searing pain radiating from my lower back down my right leg. I was unable to stand and walk straight for about an hour. The next day the same thing happened, and it went on for 10 months, notwithstanding visits to my internist who referred me to physical therapy, then acupuncture, yoga and and other movement classes. At Christmas, my children decided to give me a year’s weekly Pilates sessions with Pam. I started in January and within a few sessions, I was gleefully awakening each morning without even a twinge. As I have worked with Pam I have learned that although Joe Pilates’ work is her core competency, she regularly attends courses and becomes certified in other disciplines to help her clients, and in turn her clients become educated in ways to move safely and become stronger. So now, although I am 76 years old, I not only can I awaken pain-free, I can play basketball with my grandsons and lift and carry around my 53-pound grandson. He especially likes our “hold me and dance around” routine. I don’t feel old at all!”
“Pam enriches Pilates with her in-depth knowledge of anatomy, movement and complimentary exercise modalities. She addresses each student’s specific needs and requests. Integration of these improvements into your daily activities and sports of choice happens naturally and with exceptional results.”
