Diana Schmidt has been coming to Highway 54 Pilatesfor 2 years now. She originally came into the studio because she suffered from terrible hip pain that was impacting her daily life.
After Diana’s hour commute to work each way she was stiff, in pain and had trouble walking. Amie helped her become pain free and now she can run and play with her grandkids after working all day on her feet. Diana has taken part in the Pilates – Private and Group classes, and The Gyrotonic Expansion System®. Diana continues to inspire us with her progress!

I try to walk some, but the truth is Pilates is the only workout I do.
