Pilates session at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics in Manhattan Beach
"As husband and wife living in Beach Cities of CA, we can't think of a better way to de-stress from our workweek and re-energize for the weekend then with Pilates! We have both seen vast improvements in our strength, flexibility, balance and posture since starting Pilates with Tracy just over a year ago at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics in Manhattan Beach. We encourage all couples of any age to give Pilates a try. It's a healthy and fun way to spend time with the one you love!"

"I am so happy to have found Tracy Coe at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics and discovered the wonderful benefits Pilates delivers. I started with twice a week sessions almost a year ago and have never felt as strong and fit as I do now. I love the mind-body aspect and how the various exercises focus on different muscle groups to enhance balance and grace. I've seen a great improvement in the way my body looks, but more importantly how it feels after a run, working in the garden, etc. It's amazing how these enjoyable sessions can result in added strength, improved muscle tone, and flexibility without a lot of sweating and aches. Tracy and her teachers provide lots of personal attention giving the studio a warm and friendly atmosphere. "

Pre- and Post-Natal Pilates Sessions were Terrific!
"I've been doing Pilates for over 3 years at Body and Mind Coe-Dynamics Inc. When I became pregnant, Pilates was the only physical activity I felt comfortable doing throughout my pregnancy. I truly feel training with Tracy and her team helped me maintain and improve my strength, flexibility & posture throughout my pregnancy and helped me have a smooth delivery of a 10 1/2 lb. baby! Tracy and her team have also been instrumental in getting me back into shape post-baby. I highly recommend them to any moms and moms-to-be! "

"I started Pilates in the beginning of 7th grade and contine to love it! A few years ago I injured my back on an inflatable slide-bouncer. I struggled with lots of pain until I joined Pilates. Through Pilates and the Pilates Teachers at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc., I've learned skills that enable me to strengthen my core. Since I've learned to do this, the pain in my back has almost completely vanished. As I approach my freshman year of High School, I have no doubt in my mind that I will continue with Pilates and I can't wait to see what else it has in store for me. Thank you Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics! "

"I was very fortunate to train with Tracy this year at her Pilates studio, Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. Being a Pro Beach Volleyball Player for 14 years my body was starting to break down and I had some nagging injuries. Tracy helped me stay injury free and improved my flexability. I was able to play at the highest level again and that felt awesome. I have no doubt that my success on tour this past summer had a lot to do with my Pilates training at the studio with Tracy. I am thankful and encourage other players and friends to go and get healthy and learn Pilates."

"As a former professional Ballet dancer, I started doing Pilates in NYC at the Joseph Pilates Center. At that time Pilates was a series of underground therapeutic exercises to strengthen dancers, gymnasts, and skaters after an illness or injury. Tracy Coe is the closest to that original work and is the best at working one to their maximum top shape. Tracy and the Pilates teachers at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. are professional and knowledgeable. With the popularity of Pilates it is imperative that one work with a highly qualified teacher like Tracy for the best results."

"I started taking Pilates after sustaining back injury and found that it has been the one discipline that was instrumental in helping my body rehabilitate. Pilates has increased my flexibility helped in posture and balance. I also weight train for strength and as a side benefit, Pilates has improved my performance in the gym by strengthening the core muscles that are so essential in not only weight lifting, but in movements that we perform everyday. After taking a year of Pilates as opposed to 15 years of weight training, when I'm lifting heavy objects at home or at work I feel my core muscles being utilized to better stabilize the body. I find that Tracy Coe is my idea of a great trainer. Tracy is detail orientated, strict, conscientious, and knows how to make it a challenge without making you feel defeated. I consider myself to have muscles that are better balanced."

Pre-natal & Post-natal Pilates
"In the Beach Cites area I have been taking Pilates classes with Tracy Coe for over six years at her studio, Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. in Manhattan Beach. Besides improving my strength flexibility and balance, Pilates has been most beneficial as a Pre-natal exercise during my two pregnancies with my daughters, Kelsea and Lorelei. With both pregnancies, I was able to continue Pilates up to the week I gave birth. With my second daughter, I was already 7 days past my expected delivery date when I came in for my final Pilates for pregnancy session with Tracy. I felt like a whole different person after I left Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. Studio that day; my body felt balanced and relaxed. Three hours later, I started to have mild contractions and 36 hours later Lorelei was born! Both my deliveries were fast and easy and I owe it to the strong stomach and pelvic floor muscles I had gained from taking Pre-Natal Pilates. I had no complications or discomfort during my pregnancies, and I believe that is largely due to Pilates. Post-natal Pilates has also been a tremendous help getting back into shape (and into my jeans) after both births. If you are trying to decide what exercise regiment to practice during your pregnancy and are nearby the Beach Cities area of Manhattan Beach, I would highly recommend Pre-natal Pilates with Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics Inc. Pilates has given me two wonderful pregnancies that ended with these two beautiful girls!"

Husband & Wife Pilates in Manhattan Beach
"As a husband and wife duo, we take advantage of Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Family Pilates Package. With this we get to spend time with one another and motivate our healthy life styles. Quila: I started Pilates with Tracy Coe to re-build my upper body strength after breaking my arm. What I got was the best shape of my life, and i'm in my 60's! Tracy and the teachers at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, are all professional, well-trained, personable and totally dedicated to their students. I look forward to going to my sessions and could never imagine going without Pilates with Tracy and her staff. Rick: " Tremendous" is the best word to describe what Pilates means to me. Combined with running 3 times a week and some mat and ring work, Pilates has increased my fitness and core-strength, well, tremendously! We are fortunate to have the personal excellent instruction of Tracy and the teachers at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. "

An Avid Skier and Mother of 3
"Our family enjoys our trips to Mammoth every year for skiing. I have never been a fan of exercise however, after suffering an ACL injury in 2007 I realized that I had to find a way to strengthen my knee to be able to continue my tennis and skiing with my family. I attended traditional physical therapy for a little while, but still did not feel strong or confident enough with my knee to hit the slopes to be back on the slopes for 2007 ski season. A friend recommended that I call Tracy Coe at Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc. – Pilates Studio. Pilates has worked wonders for my knee, increased my overall body strength, flexibility, and toned my abdominal muscles. Staying consistent with my Pilates sessions, within a short period of time I was back on the slopes with my family before the 2007 ski season was over! By spring 2008, I was also back on the tennis courts. I'm now in my third year of Pilates, I'm able to ski and play tennis again without using a knee brace and it has motivated me to take 30 minutes walk/jog three times a week. It's also worth while to mention, (and I'm sure you mothers can relate) that being a mother of 3 doesn’t give you much time to yourself, but I'm amazed how good I still feel and the toning/flexibility benefits I still receive with just a 30 Minute Pilates session a week. Thank you, I highly recommend Pilates and Body & Mind Coe-Dynamics, Inc! Linda K. "

Pilates - The Best Thing I've Done for Myself
"I had always been athletic, competing in numerous sports in high school and college. After college, I had the opportunity to coach softball and soccer for many years. Then as my children got older and my work schedule became more demanding my focus became less on keeping fit and more on professional responsibilities. I also had the challenge of scoliosis that caused back pain sometimes to the point of literally not being able to move. Fortunately, my daughter gave me a gift certificate to Body and Mind Coe-Dynamics Studio. I have been hooked ever since. Regular Pilates has increased my strength, eliminated back pain and improved my posture. It has also brought lifestyle balance that I had not had for many years. The instructors at Coe-Dynamics support and challenge their clients. They are professional and personable. Attending sessions is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I recommend that everyone participate in Pilates regardless of their age or ability. "
