"Pilates has been essential to my fitness and health both during and after pregnancy. I was able to resume my workouts right away and was in my pre-pregnancy jeans just a few weeks after giving birth! Nothing has worked like Pilates to tone and firm my body and keep me in great shape. I would definitely recommend Pilates of Eastlake to anyone looking to lose baby weight and look better than ever!" --Elisabeth Frausto

"Upon getting pregnant with my second child, I was determined to have a different pregnancy than the first one. My intention was to manage my weight, stay toned, and avoid the lower back pain I experienced during my first pregnancy. Pilates of Eastlake helped me achieve these goals and much more. My body completely transformed and as a result I was able to take reformer classes up until one week before I gave birth to my daughter! Labor and delivery was both easier and faster, which enabled me to fit back into my pre-pregnancy pants within two weeks of my daughter's birth. As a result, I was back to class within four weeks of delivery. This was an easy transition as my body responded immediately by not only shedding the baby weight, but additional weight. I now am at my lowest weight that I've been in the past 8 years. I continue to take classes on a regular basis and with the help of Pilates of Eastlake, I am fully confident to go through another pregnancy!" -Betsy Larson
