My husband who passed away 7 months ago because of cancer, could have died earlier but thanks to his one on one with Chris 2 to 3 times a week during 2 years he stayed fit and could fight his cancer and enjoy life almost to the fullest

I absolutely love Pilates powerhouse. The instructors are all so good and the classes are wonderful. I'm so happy that my friend told me about them. I really like the unlimited program and having so many class time options.

Chris Cantrell is amazing, she has helped undo years of damage from sitting wrong, slouching, and most recently a herniated disc. She identified issues within my spine, rib cage, hips, etc that no other healthcare practitioner has, or at least hasn't explained to me well. I felt incredible relief after just a few visits and now I'm hooked. Would give her 10 stars if I could

Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab Center was a lifesaver and life changer for me. I had double total knee replacement surgery in November several years ago. I went to PP&RC and started working with Chris (who is absolutely amazing) after the PT facility I was working with caused me to feel all stiff, compacted and blocky instead of loose, flexible and limber. Chris developed a program that put me back playing competitive USTA tennis within 6 weeks and I went to compete in the USTA Nationals later that year.

My Doctors had told me it would be around 6 MONTHS before I'd be able to play competitive tennis again. Chris is not only a fantastic Pilates Master Instructor, she is a very caring and understanding person! I CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Pilates Powerhouse & Rehab Center and Chris! They were a true life saver for me! JG

I've been going to Pilates Powerhouse for a couple of years. The instructors are more knowledgeable than any Pilates studio I've ever been to. Chris is creative, each session is filled with knew moves. Clare's instruction is so specific working the tiniest of muscles to strengthen not just the core, but the whole body. My sports medicine physician sent me to Pilates Powerhouse to help with recurring sciatica and I'm happy she did. It worked, and I found an amazing informed place to practice.

Pilates Powerhouse is amazing. Have been going for several years. Chris and Angela are both wonderful instructors. Love that classes are small in size as they really focus on each of us to ensure we are using proper form and technique. The best!

The best! Chris, who owns the studio is a top notch instructor, who knows her stuff, is creative, flexible and makes this a fun, while challenging workout. Having done Pilates in many cities with many great instructors, I cannot say enough good things about Powerhouse and Chris Cantrell! Try it!
