A History of Client Praise
“Martt is a wonderful, hands on, classical Pilates instructor. Every session is focused on where my body is that day and what it needs. It is such a pleasure to train with her!”
- Elisa P., Santa Monica, CA
“I’ve been seeing Martt for the past two years and she’s completely transformed my body. I originally came to her with consistent back pain due to a ruptured spinal disc, but by working with Martt, my flare ups have diminished significantly. She’s the only Pilates instructor (classical and modern) that I’ve seen who knows how to specifically address and counteract my scoliosis. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the craft is impressive, and on top of that she’s a wonderful person. Thank you Martt!!!”
- Edie F, client at Opus, Beverly Hills, CA
“I find it amazing that though I am in Denmark and Martt on the West Coast of the USA it is possible for me to participate in individual Pilates sessions! Even through on-line teaching, Martt is an expert in her field and has a trained eye which enables her to quickly respond and see whether or not I am in the proper position. It is rewarding to notice the improvements one has made from week to week and from month to month.I look so forward to my weekly sessions where Martt encourages me and spreads positive vibes through her teaching!”
- Britt M., Copenhagen, Denmark
“She (Martt) is the REAL deal. She has years of experience behind her, an intuitive and well trained eye and somewhat magic hands for corrections and support. She is also capable of being funny and sweet while making you really work!”
- Shannon Schroeder, Former Owner of The Pilates Studio Glendale.
“Martt brings an encyclopedic knowledge of classical technique to her training, and really encourages her students and apprentices to think through the work. She is very present to your individual needs and available throughout for questions and support."
- Former Apprentice, Lauren S., Pilates Instructor, Seattle, WA
“Working with Martt was one of the most positive experiences I’ve encountered durning my career as a ballet dancer.”
-Damian Smith, former Principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet.
Taking pilates at the Pilates Center of San Francisco has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. Martt Lawrence brings an immeasurable amount of knowledge to her classes, personalizing her instruction to fit the needs of each individual. Pilates has given me improved core strength, flexibility, mobility, and a greater sense of body awareness. Pilates has also helped alleviate stress away from my extremities, thus reducing the risk of injury, which in turn helps prolong my career. I would recommend Martt Lawrence, and the Pilates Center of San Francisco, to any dancer or non dancer who’s looking for a challenging and healthy movement practice.
