Best Gyms with Specialized Strength Equipment near Carlisle, Pennsylvania

EXCELLENT! Tara is the rare combination of tremendous skills / expertise and a kind/LISTENING ear. Her sessions have alleviated knee pain and given me great encouragement. Highly recommend! I also love that she’s a professional ballet dancer who can REALTE to an old lady (moi) ! 😊💕🩷

Tara Hench is by far the most experienced and wonderful Pilates instructor I’ve ever had! She will help you with muscle health, tone, and lengthening. As I am a ballet dancer, I require personalized exercises and stretches that Tara (having a professional dance career herself) understands and can give insight in whatever area I may need help. She has such a sweet and positive personality yet she doesn’t hold back from pushing you to be your very best, physically and mentally. The perfect combination of quality Pilates instruction and friendliness bundled into one energizing Pilates studio!

Tara is the best Pilates instructor I have ever had or heard of! She is a true master at her profession. Taras knowledge of the human body and how it moves is outstanding. She was able to help me build an incredible amount of strength and tailored our sessions to provide me with a some physical therapy on a few trouble places in my body. Her studio is located in a beautiful historic building and it always smells like a spa in there! I could go on and on about Tara but my favorite thing about her is her relaxed personality she truly became my friend during our sessions! Run don’t walk to take pilates with Tara at Core Pilates!!

Some background. I am 67 years old and have gone through two spinal surgeries one including fusion of my neck. Additionally I have had two elbow surgeries in the last 18 months. I met Tara Hench while looking for a photographer. My life has improved so much with her core Pilates instruction that I can't imagine stopping. My strength, balance, coordination and overall well being are so much better. We joke that some day I may become a ballet dancer. Tara understands the body in a manner that only a former professional ballet dancer in Boston could. I came to her weak with dozens of physical limitations and weaknesses. There is no fountain of youth but Tara has given my body back to me with the expectation of even more improvement. I have never given anyone a five star recommendation but Tara deserves it.

Tara was my first choice in wanting to improve my overall wellness. She is very knowledgeable and provided specific exercises for my body. She has taught me how to use certain muscles correctly and provided me with exercises to do in order to help with my neck pain. She is very professional and yet she is just so easy to workout with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.
