"I'm an LPGA teaching professional out of Estes Park. My favorite pastime
is climbing - tho I'm on the very cautious side. In '06 my climbing muscles and
injuries started to really hinder my golf game (shoulder impingement and elbow
tendinitis). This did not look good when I took clients out to play with them.
Thankfully a pilates loving friend of mine gave me your book this spring and
I've been following the climbing routine 4-5 times a week. I played with a
client a few days ago and regardless of having practiced minimally in the last
six months I played wonderfully. I told him I owed it all to your pilates book.
Thank you for an awesome creation that has definitely helped me! And thank you
for your input."

"I wanted to let you know how amazing I think your book is. I have been
using it almost daily. I learned the first series for climbers (I figure
my climbing needs more help than my cycling!) and have now moved on to
learning the second series for climbers. It is so easy to use —
remarkably clear instructions/photos. Even a handy flap cover to keep
your place. Anyway I am so enjoying using your book and doing Pilates
again — having never done any mat. I really didn't know the options.
I also can feel a difference already in my swimming."
