I cannot put into words how wonderful April and her studio are. I was 6 weeks postpartum with a wedding 4 months out. April worked with me gradually building up my strength, core, mobility and not to mention feeling amazing on my wedding day. The best part is she let me bring my baby to every class which helped me more than she knew. April is one of the kindest, most patient, and most personable people I’ve ever met. I'm so grateful for all she has done for me. All her hard work and effort to each client does not go unnoticed!

Bourne Pilates is a warm and inviting Pilates studio with wonderful instructors. I love each and every group class that I go Karen and April are excellent instructors with so much knowledge and education. I love their unique teaching styles. Before I went to Pilates, I used to have back pain. Now, my abs are much stronger and my back pain is gone. The studio itself is very clean and pleasant. April is a great business owner. She is very personable and cares for every client she has.
