i'm 70 and I workout with Rachel 5-6 days a week. I'd be lost without her!!! She is fabulous (ps I can do almost all of the exercises...but it took me awhile)

What a find, i am 62 but i think i am younger :) so it was with hesitation that i played this video. I am completely new to Pilates so i thought this might be an introduction but actually found it very demanding which i liked. Beautifully explained without sounding condescending. A new relationship has started. Thank you.

Thanks, Rachel! We are fit 75 year olds, but so appreciate the Senior exercises - especially the balance ones!! We live in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Thank you, Rachel, for all your pilates for seniors .❤

I love these standing Pilates sessions - deceptively easy but later in the day or the next morning one starts feeling the results of the session. Thanks Rachel - much appreciated. 🙏

I'm 65 and enjoy ALL of your workouts! Thank you!

I loved this Rachel. I have knee issues and am working on strengthening them. This gentle workout was just what I needed today. Thank you

After many problems with my spine, I have to refind confidence in my body. Your workout is just perfect for this, I certainly will do many others to improve.Thank you!

I am glad to see that there are some workouts for those of us who have osteoporosis. Thank you Rachel. 💕

I just finished this for the first time. I loved it, so intense!! Its on my list of favourites. Thanks Rachel!

Can’t wait - have a beautiful week 🫶🏻😎

That was wonderful, perfect for my balance challenges - brain surgeries left me with one balance nerve, so balance is something I always have to work on. Thanks, “Aladdin Arms” exercise at the end was a new one, challenging but 😊 as I undergo further treatment, this will be a good session to return to, keep me moving!🤗💙💛💚

These senior workouts are lifesavers for days when I’m feeling a bit “meh” - thank you so much for your creativity and knowledge, you have something for everybody 😊❤
