Tammy G. Testimonial

“Rachel (Energy Within) in Vinton was convenient for me and I liked the small studio non-gym atmosphere. The classes are always small which allows for more attentive lessons. Rachel is amazing at what she does and it really shows that even after 25+ years, she still enjoys and believes in the benefits of pilates.”

Steffie S. Testimonial

“Most workout programs in the Roanoke area either required me to be a top athlete or to go at a snail pace to the point where I felt no results. Meeting Rachel was the perfect happy medium. I have experienced overall flexibility and strength. So, get off that couch and try Energy Within for at least a month!”

Aggie Testimonial

I am so grateful for her strengthening my core and preparing me to be strong for knee replacement in June. At a recent appointment with my orthopedic surgeon I told him I was taking pilates he exclaimed, “Keep doing what you are doing.” I highly recommend taking classes with Rachel. She is sensitive to your specific needs while encouraging you to test yourself and work toward better health through proper body movement and control!”

Excellent Instructor

After working with Rachael for over a year now I can honestly say she is an excellent instructor. I deal with a pretty serious back and neck injury with hardware that requires constant care, exercise and training. Rachael’s years of experience has helped me tremendously. Each session based on how I am feeling is tailored to assist me moving better and in return less pain. She is extremely knowledgeable and I have learned through her instruction how I can do pilates safe and effectively. I strongly recommend trying a session with her. Love Energy Within Pilates and working with Rachael. She is truly an Amazing Pilate’s Instructor! Thanks Rachael!

Energy Within Pilates is the Best!

I have been attending Energy Within Pilates classes for one year. In a word, Rachel is the Best! I have suffered with debilitating neck issues for 12 years. I had previously worked with some of the best sports medicine doctors, physical therapists, acupuncturists etc. with little result’s regarding my neck pain. I decided to try Pilates last year and met Rachel.
Rachel has completely cured my neck pain and I consider this a miracle! Rachel’s knowledge of the anatomy, and best Pilates practices continues to help me with strength and balance. I highly recommend Rachel. Love the small class format and the individual attention Rachel provides is a key to success with Pilates!
