I try not to focus on it a lot, but hubby and I were forced into a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy several years ago due to slow payment on very high interest bad credit business loans from both banks and angel investors. Since we had an S-corporation, where our fitness and pilates business profit/loss transfers…

HCG Weight Loss
I actually have some acquaintances and friends who lost serious amounts of weight after electing to see a physician for hcg shots for weight loss. But I am not sure I agree with taking human hormones for weight loss when for most people simply paying attention to diet and exercise will do the trick. If…
Kettlebells for Back Pain
The NY Times recently ran an article stating that kettlebell training was good for relieving back pain, specifically back pain from sitting too long at a desk. As you know, I am a huge fan and a certified kettlebell trainer. I often taught kettlebells in my cross training fitness classes at Parrot Cay, and every…
Why Use A Fitness Trainer
People us maps and garmin hand held gpssystems because we do not always have a perfect sense of direction and need help. We have teachers because we do not know everything out the outset and need help. And we have personal fitness trainers because most of us do not know how to properly exercise for…
Doing Good
Lately I have become very sensitive to only doing business with companies and people who spread the wealth and try to do something good for the world other than “make money and create jobs”. For that reason I love to shop at stores that directly benefit charities, and I love reading about businesses such as…
LL Bean Coupons

What’s interesting is that while I am a successful trainer among many, it’s not so easy to pick out exactly what I do differently from the less successful trainers. First there is the elusive definition of success. I only work…
Standing
Whenever I work out myself or with one of my clients, I constantly remind people that ultimately we are working on being able to stand up! And to stand up in a way that isn’t painful, that allows us to move from that position to any other position. Unlike the old garden gnome, who just…
All This Insurance
We all think about insurance, especially here in the US. Since I moved back I now pay a ridiculous amount of money for health and dental insurance, and am shopping around for life insurance quotes. Then I needed professional liability insurance since I do see some private clients outside of Real Pilates. And then, yes,…
Music for Exercise
Right now I am teaching pilates and fitness in many different studios, each of which has a very different vibe that is distinctly related to the presence of music. While some studios play classical music and lovely mellow acoustic guitars, others pound out Lady Gaga and Rihanna, and still others promote a more new-age sound…
