Lisa Bower Pilates, San Francisco CA

I have worked with Lisa doing both mat and reformer Pilates for several years. The results speak for themselves. As a person in his late 70’s I continue to be very physically active. She works with me on all muscle groups impressing on me how to move most efficiently whether it is simply standing up, swimming or balance. I couldn’t recommend her Pilates techniques more highly.

I had to have emergency back surgery 5yrs ago. After my initial recovery, I found Lisa Bower Pilates to aid in my goal to rebuild and strengthen my core. She has done that and so much more. I have recommended Lisa to several friends at different Pilates skill levels, and they have all loved their experiences with Lisa Bower Pilates. I could not recommend her more.

Lisa is a spectacular pilates teacher (and a great human being). I have been a life long runner, but aging causes all sorts of muscle atrophy that makes me vulnerable to injury and strain. I have been doing pilates with Lisa for the last several years and have managed to avoid injury - plus I just feel better: stronger and more flexible. All thanks to Lisa!

When I first started working with Lisa I could not touch my toes - not even close! She quickly whipped me into shape and lo all these years later I appreciate all the more the ability to stay flexible, mobile, and strong.

Lisa Bower is a skilled professional who guides her students through warm encouragement to achieve their fitness goals, often beyond their expectations.
Her classes are varied, never boring, yet challenging in accordance with the class level offered. I am the strongest and most flexible I’ve ever been since I began working with Lisa in 2010!

I've been working with Lisa for over eight years now. She's helped me rehab from multiple knee injuries (ACL, MCL, and quadriceps tendon tears), as well as two pregnancies. Perhaps most importantly, she's helped me keep my body strong to prevent further injuries. She has extensive knowledge of anatomy in addition to Pilates, allowing her to serve as a personalized physical therapist when needed, and she pays close attention to form. She also cares about her clients on the personal level and has become a friend over the years. Before I saw Lisa my core was an area of weakness and now it's the strongest part of my body. I'd highly recommend her to anyone who wants to become or stay physically fit!

We’ve only done a few sessions but it already feels like my body is transforming
