Client Testimonials
"I started taking Pilates at the Body Gallery a few years ago because I had thought that it would help me with my chronic back issues. I’m thrilled to say that since training with Trusha I no longer have daily back pain! In fact, I feel stronger every day, both physically and mentally! Trusha is a patient, dedicated instructor, who not only inspires me but always keeps me on my toes - she has a way of pushing me beyond my limits in such a positive way. I honestly feel great after each session, and look forward to my pilates training every week!"

"I’ve been at BG for 5+ years now, and with Trusha for as many years! She is an inspiration, a tough trainer, an educated Pilates guru, and a great listener all in one! She really zeros in on what I need for each session and delivers. Each time I walk away, I feel better, stronger, more stretched out, and at peace with my body. She has helped me gain my strength and flexibility back after knee surgery, and now that I’m 9 months pregnant, I can’t imagine going through my pregnancy without her. She is very educated on exercises that are beneficial during pregnancy, as well as those to avoid. And she’s been wonderful at educating me along the way. I feel blessed to have found Trusha at the Body Gallery! I’ve trained with several Pilates, PT specialists, and trainers in my day. She is the best at what she does!!"

"I have had many Pilates instructors over the years, and Jenice is one of the best I have worked with. She is passionate about her work and it shows.Jenice is highly trained, and she tailors each session to me. She guides me through my exercises paying close attention to my precise body movements always making sure I am doing the exercise correctly. She is genuinely excited when I have a success or breakthrough. I always feel supported and challenged. My body is stronger and more toned than ever. "

"Jenice was our Pilates teacher for a period of 3 months when she was covering a maternity leave at the studio we attend. She is an excellent trainer who understands the needs of her clients, and challenges them to maximize their potential. She seems to always know what is possible for us, even when we doubt it. She gets a lot into a single class, which is fast paced but never rushed. Exercises are tailored to the participants and often spontaneous when she builds upon what is happening during class. Jenice is fun to work with and her open and honest attitude makes for an environment where we feel safe and there is mutual feeling of trust. She listens well to our concerns, and is sensitive to our needs. During our time with Jenice we both felt that we grew in ourPilates technique and accomplishments, and increased our confidence."

"Jenice is much more than a Pilates instructor. She uses her Physical Therapy training to give the ultimate work out. I found her exceptional when it came to dealing with sports injuries or just side effects ( ex stiff muscles). She can focus very quickly on your body challenges, and modify work outs to give the ultimate experience. I wholeheartedly endorse her skills. "

"As a yoga instructor and acupuncturist, I've studied the body quite a bit, but Cassidy helps me discover new and profound details of movement and anatomy every session. I leave The Body Gallery feeling strong, more aware of postural patterns, and with "the sexy walk" of fired up glutes. I'll definitely be back for Moore."

"I've studied Pilates for 11 years and have had more than 18 instructors in the US, Canada and France, so I know what makes a great teacher. Cassidy Moore, owner of the Body Gallery and my current instructor since December 2008, is one of the very few outstanding teachers I have had the pleasure to work with. Cassidy takes her work seriously. I am interested in the nuances of the Pilates method, not a mindless workout, and she provides the rigor that I require. She is the only teacher I've studied with who methodically builds a session to culminate in an advanced or super-advanced Pilates exercise. She does this by having me perform exercises during the hour that are components of, and lead up to, the "big one". When it is time to perform the advanced move, I understand it in my body and am able to perform with grace, control, and precision. This is the quietest studio I have ever worked out in: there is always jazz, classical or other lovely music in the background, paintings or drawings from up and coming artists on the walls and sunlight streaming in through the curtains. Since there is at most one other trainer working with a client at the same time, one can really concentrate on the work at hand. It is a wonderful space made even more special by the quality of the instruction -- the studio really lives up to its title: The Art of Personalized Pilates."

"I took Pilates in Atlanta for 2 years and 1 year at another SF studio before I was fortunate enough to find the Body Gallery. It is an oasis - the surroundings relaxing and the workouts refreshing and energizing. My instructors are better than I've found anywhere, personalized and specific to what I desire to get out of each session. I am a skier, surfer, and tri-athlete so at times, they are pushing me the distance to train and work parts of my body that need it for these sports. They have also been my champions in getting my strength back after knee surgery last year. My body and my spirit have benefited exponentially through Pilates and I wouldn't trade my instructors, Sonya and Trusha, for anyone. They're both AWESOME, but I think all of the trainers there are wonderful. Cheers to this oasis in the city!"

"I feel like training with Cassidy is essential to my over all health and body well-being. I have scoliosis and have been working with her for more than 7yrs. Having scoliosis means that sometimes muscles that should normally work during an exercise don't and other muscles take over and get over developed. Over time, if not corrected, this can really decrease mobility and increase discomfort. She has helped me strengthen my core and increase my ability to twist which has enabled me to progress into more advanced moves and continue my strengthening. Cassidy watches every movement I make to ensure that my body is working in alignment, she is smart and serious about what she does. Fortunately, Cassidy is funny, caring and because of her own training, she is very empathetic.....while being dedicated to getting it right! I would recommend her to anyone because the benefits of Pilates, with a great trainer, are widely known! But if you have scoliosis she can really make a huge difference in your body and range of motion."

"This is the first exercise program that I have stayed committed to consistently for over 10 years! I think it is because I really enjoy going. It is both relaxing and firming. I have noticed a big difference in my over all body strength and firmness and have seen an amazing improvement in my posture. Since there is so much stretching with the strengthening I have had no injuries and have been able to stay with it consistently."

"In 2001 I was being treated for a shoulder injury. When the problem didn't respond to either physical therapy or chiropractic my doctor recommended Pilates to strengthen the related muscles. He said that the carefully supervised workouts would help prevent re-injury to the area. Within weeks I noticed improvement and the problem eventually resolved completely. I found that the meditative atmosphere and intelligent instruction at the Body Gallery were just what I needed to recover and enjoy continued training. Pilates has helped me to become stronger and more flexible. I love the sessions."
