Testimonials

I have run for 43 years. Running races from 1 mile to 44 miles. In March I was doing a training run for an April Ultra marathon trail run . I tripped and fell and injured my hamstring, gluts, ankles and knee. I thought my running was now over. I met Dr Deanna Lesmeister at the Athletic Training Center. She said her Pilates would help. I did her Pilate sessions and am back running. I and now doing Pilate session to help my muscle imbalance from 43 years of running. My running form, balance and core strength has improved from these sessions.

I’ve had two frozen shoulders and also have neck issues. It’s been wonderful to work with Deanna as she knows hot to help me gain strength without injuring my shoulders and neck. I would highly recommend her!

After merely 12 pilates sessions, my posture, balance, overall strength and flexibility have greatly improved. As a baby boomer, I appreciate how Deanna carefully and meticulously tailor my Pilates sessions age appropriately while at the same time respecting my past injuries.

I can perform day to day functions with greater ease, and my ache and pains have diminished!
It’s wonderful to work with such a competent, caring and friendly instructor.

Deanna is a dynamic and knowledgeable instructor. She is a high energy clinician that’s dedicated to a personal approach to health and wellness.

Deanna is an engaging and talented instructor. Her course “Therapeutic Exercise and Self-Care for Older Adults” gave me the knowledge and confidence to incorporate mind-boy exercises, such as yoga and Pilates, into my patients’ treatments. The course was very “hands-on” and taught everyone hot to execute specific therapeutic techniques and modify them appropriately to elicit functional gains. I really enjoyed partnering up with classmates to practice the fundamental Pilates and yoga exercises. Deanna really knows hot to connect with her audience and also gives important strategies for forming a good connection with clients. She had a wonderful PowerPoint presentation and she made sure to keep us all on our toes by throwing in some good curve balls and encouraging group discussions. I highly recommend Deanna and this course!

Thanks for a great seminar you gave us yesterday. I went back to my SNF and practiced some of the exercises and got positive responses from my patients. I will continue to study the manual until I feel sufficiently proficient to replace many of the “old” exercises with your syllabus.

My sciatica is so so much better. With a combination of physical therapy and Pilates she looks at whole body and can adjust exercises to fit my needs.

Even the bursitis in my right shoulder is improving dramatically in just a couple Pilates sessions with her knowledge as a Doctor in Physical Therapy.

I was looking for something different in regards to working out, so I gave d’Pilates Prosper a chance. That was about 8 months ago. Working out with Deanna is awesome because she is so knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about her clients. I have come a long way and I owe it to d’Pilates Prosper 😁

Just started working with Deanna. She is amazing. I received the added benefit of getting improvement in my heel pain, which I wasn’t even trying to target.

I love me some Deanna Lesmeister! This sweet lady ALWAYS goes above and beyond. It’s so much more than just exercising. It’s her caring and healing spirit.
