Testimonials

It is just so difficult to put into words the impact that working with Donna has had on me. I am not overstating when I say that I now have a different relationship with my body. Donna has taught me how to appreciate what my body can do and to gently coax it to do more: more strength, more flexibility, more grace. I was a dedicated non-exerciser, and I now look forward to the community of fellow BodyTrio participants where we can enjoy the music, movement and unbelievable expertise of the instructors.

Who would have thought exercise could be a soulful experience? Every week I look forward as much to working on building a healthy body as to having some laughs about life."

In addition to her uniqe depth of knowledge of Pilates and Yoga and the body in general, Donna Ognibene has a Masters in teaching. This combination results in an effective, rewarding and physically and mentally satisfying experience for her clients. As a senior, I have experienced changes and improvements in posture and flexibility that I would not have thought possible, even in my younger years. Bodytrio results will amaze you."

"This Pilates studio provides top quality instruction for students of all abilities. Donna and her staff are knowledgeable, attentive, personable and skilled. They are able to modify their instruction to meet my needs while gently encouraging me to push myself. I enjoy the classes and always feel like my body got an excellent workout"

"I was skeptical at first thinking Pilates etc. to be more for women than men and I didn't really believe Donna when she said I would notice a difference in just 4 - 6 classes but I'm a total believer now! Each class feels like getting a deep-tissue massage without any of the pain. Whoever originated the "no pain, no gain" expression clearly hadn't been introduced to pilates or Body Trio! I love the core-connect approach and the way Donna and others cater to each individual's needs while in a group setting. It's a fun supportive environment that actually works! I feel better, stronger, more flexible, toned and this after just 1 class per week. While it may not be focused on weight loss, I've dropped over 20 lbs. in less than 6 months - nearly 10% of my body weight - and without the usual pain, drudgery and sacrifice typically associated with getting in shape. I can't imagine staying in shape without Donna's and Body Trio's help - and I encourage other men to get involved... you won't believe how great it is until you try it!"

“I’ve enjoyed all the classes I’ve taken at BodyTrio. The staff is very friendly and the studio is warm, comfortable and clean. Taking yoga classes with Sally McAlpin has been absolutely wonderful. She is a fabulous yoga instructor and I give her classes my highest recommendation.”

I have noticed so many positive changes in my body and confidence about it movement, it is hard to pick. Aside from the elimination of chronic pain in my lower back, hip, sciatica, and the improved athleticism, the sheer delight of feeling graceful again was unlooked for. Thanks very much for sharing your deep knowledge of muscle and movement to change my life."
