The Pilates teacher training was such an incredible experience in every respect! It was great to learn from Lo, who is so knowledgeable of the topic from all angles: her credentials, her movement teaching practice, her teacher trainer practice, but above all, Lo as a person showing up for us with such passion for everything she does. Further, Lo's energy just naturally attracts equally awesome people: it was wonderful to deepen my understanding from an incredible group of other professionals (Iysha for anatomy, Meagan for pelvic floor and pilates, and Megan for business), all nicely wrapped into one intense, fun, methodical, and thorough training! Last but not least, I also felt privileged to study with a great cohort of fellow trainees who all brought their own knowledge, perspectives, talents, passions, and personalities to each training session. Anyone who ends up taking classes with them will be really lucky and I know that the Pilates/movement practice community will be all the better for it!

I have been taking barre with Lo (as a student) for a couple years now and I keep coming back to her classes every week. During the Barre Affect Method training, I realized that, in addition to the workout itself and its well-structured sequencing, what makes Lo's method unique is her teaching philosophy and ethics. She emphasizes self-care, respect, and having a good relationship between one's own mind and body as it currently is. Lo's approach focuses on strengthening and challenging the body through joyful movement, rather than obsessing over looking a certain way. Overall, this was a great, intense, fun, and rewarding training that I would strongly recommend for anyone wanting to teach barre, improve their own practice (and learn how to count to 8 in the process!)

"It takes a super unique person to capture my attention and keep it engaged for an entire weekend, but, Lo did it!!! An incredibly passionate teacher with a great sense of humour, she even managed to make anatomy way more fascinating!"

I rate this training 5/5 stars

"I absolutely loved Lo's pilates training! The small class size promoted confidence, sense of belonging and an ability to learn at your own pace. The anatomy training alongside this course is better than any university course I have ever taken and is very digestible. I highly reccomend Lo's pilates method and structure. I use her cues and form techniques daily."

"This training in particular was hybrid with both online and in class components. The information online was thorough, user friendly and easy to navigate. You can really tell how much hard work and dedication has gone into this training.  Lo’s passion for fitness, teaching and training others, along with her bubbly and motivating personality truly shines through and sets this training apart! If you want to do something for you, get out of your comfort zone, deepen your practice, and/or gain skills, knowledge and confidence in barre and teaching, this training is for you! "

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for myself and the training group. I’m already feeling so much more confident in my teaching, with the tools given through your teaching and guidance. You’ve created such a positive, encouraging environment, and I can already tell you that’s it’s made a difference in how I show up as an instructor. I’m genuinely so excited to keep learning and growing through this training. Thank you for giving people this space and this program, it’s truly amazing.

I took Lo's Barre Affect Method in studio training and I thoroughly enjoyed this in-person experience. Lo is an exceptional trainer – knowledgeable, patient, warm, inclusive, engaging, authentic, empathetic, patient, caring, real, fun, and professional. She listens and communicates well. She provides time and space for us to ask questions and share real life examples. She empowers each and everyone in her class with practical information and positive feedback. Lo’s course has kept evolving – a wonderfully practical course. Her passion for training, movement, and wellness is “contagious” in a positive way.  I feel empowered to go forward and complete all the requirements to earn the Barre Affect Method certificate!

“The Pilates training I took with Lo was by far the best I’ve taken in a long time, and I’ve taken a lot! The content was phenomenal, more in depth than with most other similar trainings. As a bonus Lo is so friendly, fully of energy, super engaging and makes it fun”

Thank you again for all you do, you are very inspiring"

"I completed my Pilates Training with Lo  and it was one of the best things I could have chosen for myself. As someone who has always had a passion for movement and coaching others, it was exactly what I was looking for next in my fitness journey. Lo's passion, expertise, and genuine love for what she does it so contagious. I absolutely recommend this training for anyone looking to deepen their Pilates knowledge or become certified to teach classes!

Thank you again for all you do, you are very inspiring"

Training with Lo was amazing - I've learned so much about my body and have become a much stronger instructor thanks to all the valuable information we were given during training. The mind and body connection was something that training really brought to my attention and I've been in much better shape since (mentally and physically)!! I can, with confidence, recommend Lo's program if you are looking to become an instructor and learn about yourself at the same time!! 

Trainings with Lo is everything I was hoping for and more. The way Lo teaches is fun and comfortable and she somehow manages to fit so much valuable information in.  She is able to hold space for people as she teaches and creates an environment that is safe and allows connection within the group that feels encouraging and supportive. She has also teamed up with some of the very best practitioners in the area to create a training that is full of vital information if you want to be a teacher or just expand your knowledge base in the movement world.  I’ve taken lots of trainings and this was one that left me feeling confident, and excited to get out there and start teaching. 

Pilates training with Lo at The Attic was a life changing experience. The content was thorough, practical, holistic and balanced between theory, movement, and self-love. I feel prepared to start teaching and building my confidence in front of others. I will always be proud to share my learnings with the world and spread the wealth that is The Pilates Affect Method. 

I recently took the Pilates training with Lo. I have an extensive background in fitness and wasn’t sure what to expect  but I was impressed from the second I sat down. Lo is so knowledgeable and it was clear to see right away how passionate she is about this. The course was very in depth and taught in a way that made it to easy to learn. It was also such a safe environment that no question ever felt foolish and was absolutely encouraged. The feedback I received for the class I taught for my final mark was so in depth, Lo puts her all into every step and it shows ! I would highly recommend this course 

Lo has created such an amazing gift with this program and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it. Lo’s teaching style on the mat and in the classroom is both energetic and engaging. Moving forward as a new pilates instructor, I feel confident in my skills and abilities as I’ve learned from one of the best anatomy courses and pilates programs.

"A wonderful course! Thorough, fun and written in a friendly and related voice. Would recommend and would take any other trainings with Lo- particularly a pilates one!"

I did my Pilates Affect Method training and it was so much more than I could have asked for! Lo’s energy and expertise will set anyone up for success. She was very supportive throughout the process as well. If you are looking to complete a Pilates training this is the one for you! Don’t pass it up :) I can’t wait to share this style of Pilates with others on their mats!

​

I genuinely can’t wait to come back and see you in 2025 to re do the training. I loved it so much but would love to see what’s added/changed and keep learning! I loved the one I did so much and have had so much fun teaching this style

Taking the leap to sign up for training was me prioritizing my passions. The way Lo shows up each day with the biggest smile on her face, an infectious energy, and jokes for days was truly amazing. The open and supportive environment created by the whole group was healing and truthfully taught me a new love for my body. My love and passion for Pilates grew exponentially, and I thank Lo (and the 8 other trainees) for that. 

Lo approaches speaking of humans and each physical body in such an empowering way and with such sincerity . It taught me so much outside the world of Pilates.
