Pilates MVMT Studio

I never realized how much my body needed Pilates until spending time under the instruction of Cassondra. Since including Reformer and Mat into my fitness regimen, I've been able to address and develop neglected muscle groups that I previously never considered before while performing other activities like weightlifting, running/cycling, or kayaking. I've noticed an increase in my range of motion, core stability, and breathing habits. She is extremely patient, detail-oriented, and always correcting and adjusting any alignment issues they arise throughout an exercise or movement. We are creatures of habit and as I tend to forget the proper use of breath during our sessions, Cassondra will always cue to remind me. Being in IT and spending long periods of time sitting at a desk, or as a kayak angler, Pilates has been crucial to the improvement in my posture and body awareness. I am constantly reminding myself to retract my shoulders away from my ears and sit upright. Thank you, Cassondra, for being the movement therapist that you are!

I have been training with Cassondra for over 4 years, both in studio and virtually. She trained me through pregnancy as well as postpartum. She is an incredible movement therapist and Pilates instructor. I have been able to achieve strength in ways I didn't know I could, and reach my fitness and flexibility goals far beyond my expectations. Cassondra's best quality as an instructor is her attention to detail, not only in the cues she uses for movement, but in perfecting mobility within my own limits. She pushes me to far enough to challenge my current limits and always manages to keep me comfortable and pain free. She is highly knowledgeable about everything movement and keeps me on my toes every session we're together. I am so thankful to have found her!

Cass is full of energy, passion and is a skilled, caring instructor. When working with us at the studio, we were honoured to have the opportunity to work alongside her and felt confident that she could hold down the fort at any time. Now she holds down her own:). She is truly a gem…. We miss her very much. If you get the chance to have Cass guide you through your practice, consider yourself one of the fortunate:). Get ready to smile as you work!

I've been taking classes with Pilates MVMT for about a year and I couldn't be happier. I've become stronger, have better stamina and my chronic injuries are a thing of the past. Each class is always different so it's always interesting, motivating and a fun challenge. So happy to have found Cassondra, she's a gem!

I've been seeing Cassondra for private pilates sessions for several years now. She's excellent, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! We started off with in person sessions, but now do weekly virtual sessions between Ontario and Newfoundland. I'm so happy to have this option to continue with her.

Cassondra is extremely professional, knowledgeable and flexible. She checks in before each session to ensure her planned routine will work with my body and adapts accordingly. Her encouragement and caring manner keep me engaged, motivated and of course stronger I would highly recommend Cassondra to anyone looking to increase their strength and mobility.

I have been training with Cassondra for many years now, including through a high risk pregnancy and postpartum period. Cassondra was extremely knowledgeable of pre and post natal training and kept my body not only moving, but feeling amazing throughout both periods of time in my life. She is alway able to adapt our weekly sessions based on how my body is feeling and what it needs that week. I have struggled for years with chronic neck pain/strain and not only is she super mindful of my limitations because of that, she is also so attention orientated and always providing cues during exercises to ensure I protect my neck. She has continued to train me virtually throughout lockdowns and restrictions and her virtual sessions have been so amazing and she has been so patient while I have kids running around in the room during them! I always leave every single session with my body and my mind feeling amazing. I am so grateful to be a client and get to work with Cassondra!

I have had such a positive experience with Cassondra in the 9 months we’ve been working together. Her knowledge of anatomy and the way the body works gives me complete confidence in whatever she is instructing. If anything is uncomfortable or not working during an exercise, she will have at least 2 or 3 other ways to target the same muscles without discomfort.Most importantly, she never asks me to work through exercises in pain. In my experience this unfortunately occurs in a lot of areas of fitness. It is very encouraging to know that Cassondra will not let me injure myself!Her studio is truly an escape for me and the wide variety of highest quality equipment ensures that no session will ever be the same.To top all of this she is a wonderful human being and someone you want to spend time with. If anyone has the chance to take classes with Cassondra I wholeheartedly encourage you to so!

I have worked with Cassondra both in the studio and virtually now for several years. She is absolutely fabulous. She tailors our sessions to what my body needs and has a remarkable eye for form and detail. Even during virtual sessions she will have me make little adjustments that make a big difference. I couldn't imagine my week without her.
