Testimonials

"Gwynne has taught me how to get up safely from a prone position on the floor and to rise from sitting on a chair without lurching. With each visit, her exercises and techniques help me to get stronger, And most importantly, she has taught me how to walk with confidence."

Gwynne is dedicated to the details of your fitness in her fine knowledge of anatomy and how the body works.

"I have been a client of Strength and Balance Studio for over 3 years.  I have had many physical issues that Gwynne has been able to help me to deal with through her expertise and exercise programs. I attribute much of my ability to stay well and productive because of my working with her on a committed basis."

"I've had a "bad back" for many years.  While I'd begun Pilates before I met Gwynne, private lessons have allowed me to improve my core strength significantly. While that helps my lower back, Gwynne's Alexander Technique lessons have taught me good posture. The two together have meant that I no longer need epidural injections. And when I do have back pain, she has taught me how to alleviate the pain. I honestly feel that finding Gwynne was my lucky day."

“Doing Pilates with Gwynne fulfilled my hopes for greater strength and flexibility, body toning and especially abdominal (and bottom) conditioning. I continued working with her through my pregnancy, as Gwynne carefully modified our routines to my changing conditions. I’m amazed by how well I recovered from my (surprise) C-section, namely attribute to the abdominal work we had been doing. My confidence in Gwynne’s abilities led me to become her student in Alexander technique as well, and I’m gratified by my improved physical appearance and well-being. Gwynne’s talent, knowledge, skill and discipline, as-well as simply pleasant and fun to work with.”

“I visited Gwynne at her studio for an Alexander lesson & I want to say I felt so cared for. The touch as well as the movement, and I remember (it was months ago) the word “expand” as she spoke the words – I felt it. With the whole experience, I literally felt I had expanded & that my body had shifted and changed in a very special way. I just want to say thank you for that experience & connection. This won’t forget the experience, furthermore I will carry with me. I strongly recommend others to connect to this lovely and talented healer”

“Gwynne Marshall has been my teacher for several years. She is not only a very fine teacher, but also a gentle and compassionate instructor. Taking into consideration my age and beginner status when we started, I have progressed amazingly under her tutelage. Gwynne is erudite, well read and talented. I depend on her for my physical health. It has been my pleasure to work with her”
