Client Testimonials

Here what my clients have to say about Grounding Point Dance Company.

My personal experience with Carrie's method of Pilates is that she is a committed
professional dedicated to improving the health and well being of her
clients. Her ability to identify my specific needs and to adapt and
adjust her communication and teaching methods to maximize her
effectiveness as an instructor is just one of her many strengths.

I have loved playing soccer for years, and thought that I could not enjoy any type of exercise as much as soccer until I started taking Carrie Smaczny's pilates class! I find Carrie's classes challenging and overall a fantastic workout! Carrie is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a first rate pilates instructor! Carrie is able to encourage a person to push themselves, while at the same time sensitive to a person's abilities. I have been taking Carrie's pilates classes for years and Carrie makes every class a new experience, challenging, and a lot of fun!

As a former gymnast, I've participated in various forms of exercises (yoga, weight training, dance). I find Carrie Smaczny's, Artistic Director of Grounding Point Dance Company, Pilates class to be the most effective for my body. As a person with lower back problems, Carrie's workouts have strengthened my core, relieved some of my back pain and the tension I've been feeling for years. Carrie pays close attention to her clients, protecting the body from further injury while providing an excellent work-out. Her method is fun, challenging and changes day to day to keep it interesting. She is respectful, friendly and a great instructor...thanks Carrie for 2 years of making it fun!

Carrie Smaczny's teaching style makes the most of practicing pilates -- I work hard and smart when I work out with her -- and I feel like I learn something new every time I step into the pilates studio. Her instruction is engaging and her classes are challenging and unique to what I want for my body. I am the strongest I have been in my life and feel great about it thanks to practicing with Carrie.
