  • “Through Pilates Timea Presley has helped me to transform my body, mind and spirit. My longer, leaner, straighter body is more fun to live in and my aches and pains are gone. The newfound strength of my mind/body connection leads me to make more mindful choices about what to eat, when to rest and how to add calm to my sometimes frenetic days." -JM

  • “Timea Presley is a creative teacher who provides a safe place to explore a side of Pilates that few understand." - Kristy Windom, Head of Faculty, The Washington School of Ballet

  • “Timea Presley is key collaborator in the continuum of rehabilitative care for so many patients, offering safe, effective, and inspiring progression after injury and for those dealing with chronic pain." - DL, Physical Therapist

  • “Teacher Training with Timea was perfect for me. The structure used in the training allowed us to focus on what was most useful and relevant for me. We had ample time to discuss different client presentations and variations of exercises. I also appreciate her depth of knowledge - she is well versed in multiple schools of thought which has been helpful for me as I begin to practice at different studios." JG, Physical Therapist

  • “I have known Timea for many, many years. She is an extremely well versed Pilates instructor who daily demonstrates the science and art of the Pilates method. Her approach is classical and her orchestration innovative. In addition she is both sensitive and caring.. a wonderful combination for a teacher and therapist. Her studio space is calming and clean; a reflection of her priorities. I am excited for anyone to participate in a Pilates experience with Timea.” Anne Wutchiett, Iyengar Yoga Instructor

  • “Presley Pilates is why I am able to walk these days. Several years ago, a disk started slipping and suddenly, one day, I found myself unable to move. After an emergency appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, my disc issue was diagnosed and the pronouncement was clear: you must get back to exercising regularly and if physical therapy does not help, then back surgery is your only option. Following an initial bout of traditional physical therapy, I found that there were clear goals for redeveloping core strength, but middling results. Working regularly with Timea, over the course of a year, I was able to regain full mobility and have not looked back.” AW

  • “Timea is an outstanding, extraordinarily well trained and seasoned Pilates instructor. She provides great Pilates workouts, is lovely to work with and offers a quiet, peaceful environment in which to experience fully the REAL Pilates experience. I have been seeing her for many years and truly value her skills and sensitivity to the changes in my body and safety.” NA

  • “I have worked with Timea for over 15 years and she is simply the best Pilates instructor. She is wonderful at understanding clients needs and catering to their specific situations. I cannot recommend her highly enough!” LR

  • “I found Timea after many months of ongoing back pain and issues. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled. I am forever grateful for her help in my rehab. I couldn’t recommend her more!” NB

  • “Timea Presley is a wonderful instructor - professional and very attentive to her clients' specific needs and concerns. I have been going to Presley Pilates for approximately six months and have benefitted immensely. I feel stronger, more balanced and in alignment because of her expert care and instruction. Plus she makes the session fun!” EK

  • “Timea was referred to me by a friend- I have now been taking private pilate lessons with her for over 2 years. I worked with her specifically to prepare for a surgery and continue to work with her post surgery. That preparation made my hip replacement experience seamless! I walked out of sessions feeling strong, relaxed and grounded, and happy. While Timea is a master pilates teacher/practitioner and is very knowledgeable, she is also simply a joy to spend time with. I recommend anyone who is preparing for or recovering from surgery to work with her, as well as anyone who is looking to take an intentional and mindful approach to developing core strength and overall wellness. She will give you professional and compassionate personal care.” SP
