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.
“I have studied Pilates with Pam for more than 20 years. Unlike other teachers, Pam uses her physiology and dance background to inform the way she explains the exercises. This helps her students understand the muscles involved so that we can do the exercises correctly and effectively. She challenges us but helps us modify the exercises depending on our abilities. She is positive and supportive and encourages us when we succeed with ‘Why not?’
Since my first experience with her teaching at a gym, I have followed her to three other teaching venues. The reason: She's a fantastic teacher!
When I first started Pilates I had terrible neck pain and headaches. I had to go to a chiropractor every 2 weeks. Doing pilates with Pam helped me strengthen my neck and I have been pain free for 20 years. Studying pilates with Pam has improved my strength, my muscle tone, my posture and my mental well-being. At 73, I feel terrific!" — Lori H.
“I’ve been a client of Pam for almost 10 years and 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 afraid 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.” —Pat G.
“I have seen Pam as my Pilates teacher once a week for 15 years. The most important teachings I’ve gained from her are how she has taught me to be aware of my body and how to apply the Pilates principles to myself the other six 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 highly recommend her. “ —Jerry J.
“Pam is an incredible teacher. She fine-tunes each exercise and explains exactly what part of the body you should be working on. And, as we age, she has advised me on alternative positions to address osteopenia and osteoarthritis. I literally feel my spine stretched 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 experience 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 12 years and our time together each week is something I cherish and look forward to.” —Pat L.
“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 been truly transformative. And she does it all 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!!!”
—Victoria B.
“I started working with Pam fifteen years ago. I had a specific issue with my foot that had plagued me and my doctors/physical therapists for five years. Pam worked with me on finding out the issue that was causing so much pain walking. As a former dancer, Pam knows bodies and foot mechanics. She worked and taught me what my body was doing to create this discomfort. I can say that her addressing of my foot issue has been nothing short of transformative. Pam is a master Pilates instructor but also an incredible person who knows body mechanics and has an intuitive understanding of the body. She makes every session feel personalized and fresh”. –Jeanne J.
“Pilates sessions with Pam have allowed me to build core strength and awareness of alignment that improves my movement not just in sessions with her but in daily life and my other active pursuits as well.
Pam is an attentive and enthusiastic teacher, experienced and joyful in her practice. I am able to trust her wholeheartedly to challenge me to just the right level. She never fails to note small adjustments in alignment that make the exercises far safer yet more challenging. She has a wealth of knowledge and customizes sessions to current goals and concerns so sessions are always fresh and relevant.” —Krista M.
“I have had the pleasure of being taught by Pam , for the last 5+ years. Her knowledge has an amazing depth, with her background in Pilates, Gyrokinesis, and many other methods of teaching, she knows no boundaries. I have worked with her through many injuries, including shoulder, hip and other surgeries, sprained ankles, toes and arms. I was able to strengthen and gain mobility very quickly after training with her. I’ve never seen any trainer that knows the body as well as she does and she is so intuitive in knowing exactly what my body needs for my sessions. Not only is Pam a terrific trainer, but she is fun to work with. Our sessions go by so fast and I always have a good time. I feel very lucky to have worked with Pam and I look forward to continuing my training with her into the future.“ —Diane C.
“Two years ago I had recently suffered from a life-threatening spinal injury and was preparing for what looked to be serious pain for the rest of my life. I was feeling defeated when i sat with Pamela to tell her my story. Her natural optimism was apparent immediately. She said don’t worry we can fix this. I am 66 years old and have had many physical trainers over the years. Pamela is by far the best I've had the pleasure to work with. She is caring, thorough, and super easy to understand. Under her tutelage, I am now empowered by the Pilates I’ve learned and pain-free :)
I tell everyone who is willing to listen that Pamela has changed the direction of the remainder of my life and I will be forever grateful. I know this sounds a little over the top, but I’m speaking the truth." — JJ L.
“Pam, my Pilates instructor for more than 20 years, is totally focused on each of her students and our individual needs. She is warm, kind, and extremely professional. Pam teaches with clarity and precision and corrects us as needed. Our classes are interesting and challenging and I am stronger, more flexible and healthier thanks to her dedication to Pilates and her students.” —Shirley R.
“I love Pam’s enthusiasm, expertise and thoughtful approach to Pilates. She is a natural teacher and coach. She intuits when to push and when to be gentle. Each session is customized for the individual client. I appreciate her ability to pivot if she sees the need - she has done this when I am ready to advance as well as recovering from an injury. Pam breathes life into Pilates and has taught me to love this body-wise method.”
—Juli K.
“After witnessing a close friend accelerate her healing after major surgeries by working with Pam, I decided to invest in a few months of regular sessions with Pam for ‘pre-hab’ to strengthen and prepare my body for a breast reconstruction/revision surgery, and rehab (with approval from and alignment with my surgeon and physical therapist). Not only did working with Pam accelerate my own healing post-surgery, but 2.5 years later I'm still working with her and am stronger than I even was pre-cancer, pre-mastectomy and reconstruction.
Pam has a patient and accessible approach for those new to Pilates and even though I felt a bit self-conscious and overwhelmed before I started, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She possesses an impressive systemic understanding of the human body and helps me understand not just what to do, but also what's happening in my body and why it's important. She's a joy to work with, meets me where I'm at each week, and always celebrates my successes.
Nine years ago when I had my double-mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, I barely recognized myself and never thought I'd be able to lift a heavy suitcase overhead or live without pain, even after years of physical therapy. Working with Pam has completely changed my physical strength and abilities, my confidence in myself, and my quality of life. I'm eternally grateful to her!" —Christie M.
“My chiropractor recommended going to her years ago and I have been working with her ever since. She has incredible knowledge of the body and body mechanics. Not only has Pilates instruction significantly helped my back pain, but it has strengthened my core and increased my flexibility. She tailors her instruction to where you are and works with you to increase your abilities and to continue progressing from there. Pam has taught me how to move and hold the body in everyday life.” —Ben S.
“I have been working with Pam for over 5 years. Pam is passionate, knowledgeable, wise, and loves what she does, and it all comes through her teaching. As a result of the way she is with me as a teacher, I am healthier, stronger, more present, and much more aware of my posture and how I carry myself. This makes a huge difference to my well-being. I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her.” —Joan E.
“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.” —Barbara P.
“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 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 other movement classes. At Christmas, my children gave 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. So now, although I am 76 years old, I not only can I awaken pain-free, I can play basketball with my grandchildren and lift and carry around my 53-pound grandson. I don’t feel old at all!.” —Alyce S.
“Pam has taken me from limping (and whimpering) to balanced and confident. As a former professional dancer she brings a pragmatic, real world approach to fitness and health. Her sessions are focused, individual, and always different. She is unfailingly positive. I credit Pam with rescuing me from a pain-filled sedentary future to an active pain-free one. She is simply the best.” —Deb L.
