4worldlovers: "The Good Space instructors and equipment are first-rate. The attention to detail of everyone's form and physical abilities make any necessary adaptations comfortable and effective, and the variety of exercises/creativity of the instructors prevent exercise boredom. I had a recent complete hip replacement and I strongly believe that my remarkable and swift recovery was in part due to Pilates classes, both before and after surgery. Can't recommend them strongly enough!"

“I attribute the genius of Chau’s teaching technique for helping to improve my overall movement. Two years ago I was considering no longer performing longer corneal transplant procedures, but now I can operate for hours without back issues. Thank you for keeping me in the game!”

“In 1973, I crushed 3 vertebrae in a parachute jump. For 40 years, I had undergone yearly periods of back pain and sometimes disability even after surgery. With my regular practice since 2013 at Pilates South Texas my back pain has diminished and I contribute that to my improved posture. I look forward to continuing my pilates sessions to support my active lifestyle at the age of 74.”

“After 11 years, I still look forward to the continuing education Chau offers as well as the weekly sessions I take at Pilates South Texas with the other highly trained STOTT PILATES instructors.”
