“I can expand my classes now that I have six MVe Chairs. My clients love the chairs and so do I! The MVe is such an improvement from the chairs I have used in the past. It is so easy to adjust the spring tension, so quiet and easy to store out of the way. I feel like I do an infomercial every time I use them! I'm very happy with them!”
– Leslie Brangham, owner/trainer, Just Breathe Pilates, Camarillio, California
“The MVe Chair is a good concept. The class is an opportunity to have clients work out on Pilates “equipment” without having to spend a lot of money for classes. The MVe format is very popular, providing clients with a challenging workout. Clients love the fusion of Pilates with strength training—they train all major muscle groups. Setting the class to music also serves to keep things fun and energized.”
– Janet Giovanniello, Body One Pilates Studio, Rye, New Hampshire
“I just wanted to thank you for your excellent instructor training. I'm finding so many of your techniques come to me easily when I'm in front of a class. The members are THRILLED to have this on the schedule. So many of them have asked to come to each class… even my physical therapist thought the MVe workout was a good idea for me; I hope to do it more regularly on my own. I'm looking forward to learning more and advancing my knowledge. I try to look through the MVe instructor manual before classes just to get fresh ideas.”
– Coulter Bump, Group Fitness Trainer, Denver Athletic Club, Denver, Colorado
“The education that Peak Pilates offers has proven to be top notch within the industry. They not only teach you proper form and techniques but also provide you with the tools needed to become an effective instructor. Because of that, when I hire for our Pilates program, I look for those instructors that are Peak-trained. We have added the MVe Chair classes to compliment our current Pilates program and add to our group fitness classes. All of our Pilates and group fitness students are excited about the additional challenges that the chair offers. It definitely elevates our entire program to the next level. Thank you, Peak!”
– Jeannie Lee, Supervisor, Group Fitness Program, Life Center Health and Conditioning Club, Greenville, South Carolina
“I am a personal trainer with minimal Pilates training. I attended the MVe Fitness Chair training and had an experience like none other. I think ‘fitness fusion’ describes it best… I wasn’t sore from lifting but I was fatigued from the isolation of muscles. It is a great complement to my training. Stacey Lei Krauss, the MVe Trainer was knowledgeable and motivating. She made me want to learn and got me excited to teach classes of my own.”
– Heather Prois, Senior Fitness Coordinator, Downtown Minneapolis YMCA, Minneapolis, Minnesota
“JoyMoves has been offering Pilates since April 2007. We won the Best of CitySearch member voting contest in 2008 in Austin, Texas. We have a well-rounded Pilates program that includes a dedicated studio with five reformers, a Cadillac, MVe chairs, six awesome Peak Pilates-trained instructors - several of which are Comprehensively certified - and a robust offering of group Pilates mat and MVe Chair classes. We were one of the ‘early adopters’ of Peak’s MVe™ Chair product and it has been enthusiastically embraced by our members. We are a ‘Peak shop’—our instructors have all been trained by Peak Pilates and our equipment is all from Peak Pilates. Our clients love Pilates here and that contributed to our winning the Best of CitySearch award. Peak Pilates has been integral and fundamental to our success.”
– Shoshana Goldstein, Co-owner of JoyMoves, Austin, Texas
“I truly love the MVe Chair. It’s so versatile. It really amazes me how effective it is for targeting core muscles, overall strength and flexibility weaknesses. My clients think it is great.”
– Michael George, Celebrity Trainer (Reese Witherspoon, Meg Ryan, Tobey Maguire, Julianne Moore, Christian Slater), Marina Del Rey, California
“As a longtime fitness trainer and teacher, I have found the MVe Chair to be a delightful addition to my gym! It intrigues clients and other trainers alike and with some simple instruction, we are enjoying the variety and challenges its exercises possibilities bring to otherwise routine workouts. Unlike our wood framed Wonda Chair, the MVe is light, easy to adjust and move about the gym and its lengthened foot pedal and seat are helpful for both larger exercisers (because their feet now easily fit when aligned heel to toe) and for less agile beginners.”
– Gillian Clark, owner SWERVE Studios: Fitness Dance, Yoga & creator of Yoga Booty Ballet®
“I use the MVe Chair just about everyday. I can't walk by it with out doing at least a few sets of footwork. It is so easy to use and adjust. You can flow from one exercise to another without having to crawl under the machine to adjust the springs. The construction is very durable and it is move around. I love it.”
– Mary Jane Kleiman, Pilates in Paradise, Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii
“The MVe really is for ‘EveryBody.’ The average person can really see the difference; even after one session they are more aware of their posture. They are adopting it as a lifelong change.”
– Andrea Haney, The Pilates Center, Wildwood, Pennsylvania
“The MVe Fitness Chair has been a great addition in private trainings to challenge my clients in a new plane of movement and balance.”
– Lara Garda, Mind/Body Coordinator, Oxford Athletic Club, Wexford, Pennsylvania
“I recently completed my PPS-I training in Wexford, PA. The PPS-I training was exceptional and has made me a better instructor across disciplines. I have found the MVe to be a very accessible piece of equipment that has helped me to even out my imbalances. My one leg in particular has less pain and more strength. I am excited to start teaching these classes on a regular basis. Thank you for your part in maintaining such high educational standards.”
– Joyce S. Chalfant, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania
“I can't say enough great things about the MVe Chair—it's light, easy to handle, easier to train people on, and a great addition to my home studio!”
– Janine Pangburn, New York, New York
“We are seeing great progress in strength gains with our members who have been taking the MVe Chair classes for awhile. We are messing around with our own exercise creations, which is fun!”
– Cindy Foss, Midwest Athletic Club, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
“I just started with a couple of new clients and have been using the chair with them... I really LOVE this piece of equipment. The more I realize how much this MVe can do, the more I like it. It is very versatile and the fact that it can be incorporated in a fitness or Pilates venue is brilliant. Not a whole lot impresses me in the fitness industry… but this does.”
– Laura Gideon, Bamboo Balance, Los Angeles, California
“The MVe Chair is great! It is not as intimidating for clients and the springs are easy to use. It's great to crank up really good music to get a good workout using good form.”
– MJ Mermer, Pilates By MJ, Coral Springs, Florida
