Increased flexibility. Exercise but relaxing, not hot & sweaty or jumping.

I am now exercising on a regular basis and I actually enjoy it! Other programs I have tried were either too difficult or they aggravated old injuries. The class was easy enough for me to do from the beginning because I could work at my own pace. As I become stronger and more flexible it can be intensified to increase my workout and continue to challenge me.

I recently started Callanetics and was very pleased with the improved feeling of flexibility that I experienced after just a couple of weeks. The stretching and exercises can be done at any level of fitness and there is no pressure to reach another person’s goals. As I got stronger and more competent, my confidence increased and I was able to set higher goals. Rhonda is a patient and very capable instructor who takes the time to make sure that the moves are done properly. I’m looking forward to continuing these classes in the fall; it’s the most revitalizing thing after a long day sitting behind a desk!

I feel more energetic. The change in body shape is noticeable. I am more flexible and it is fun!

I have been aware of Callanetics and what it can do for you since the early 80’s. I came across a book and did these exercises on my own with fabulous results. I KNOW you can drop 2 sizes down without crash dieting. Then early this year I found Rhonda’s website and decided to participate. I have been coming to the Canadian Callanetics classes a couple times a week since February as time permitted. I began to feel the results in the way my pants fit within the first 6 weeks and all over as I continue to attend. If you are tired and are seeking an energizing workout through gentle, calm and relaxing postures this is the workout for you. I encourage anyone who wants to increase their flexibility and core strength to consider the Callanetics approach to all over health and well being. I hope to see you there!

The Callanetics classes I attend represent just a portion of my fitness regime but have a really positive impact on my overall health and wellness; the core strength I've gained allows me to push myself harder and longer during more aggressive pursuits like skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, and long distance swimming, and the stretching and tension release provides the relief I need when I do. Further, Rhonda appreciates the varied fitness levels of her students and provides modifications for each exercise as you become progressively stronger - a breath of fresh air from the "one size fits all" approach to instruction many larger facilities will provide!

Well, the most amazing thing has happened! I began Callanetics wanting to improve strength and flexibility. Both are much improved and continue to progress as Rhonda is always introducing something new and challenging. I also wanted a program for the long term: one which will respectfully accommodate changing levels of fitness, age, wellness. Now, much to my surprise, my changing level of fitness (increased core strength) has totally changed the way I walk. My stride is longer, more fluid, my posture straighter, and breathing more even. Our Jack Russell loves it as more blocks continue to be added – without even trying, we are covering more distance in lesser amounts of time. (I know he thinks I will keep adding 10 block increments but, really, we cannot be out walking all day!) I am fortunate to be in a small class which, while allowing each to focus on her own exercise, fosters a shared sense of determination and humour. Thanks to all & to Rhonda.
