My personal trainer, Tara gave me a program that I diligently followed and I lost about 15 pounds in 5 weeks. She gives great advice on diet, workouts and post workout stretching. Anyone out there looking to loose weight and get fit, all you have to do is follow what Tara says and commit to her plan - The results will follow. More...

Tara's Pilates classes are the highlights of my week! She brings an enthusiasm that can't be beat and she pays attention to the needs of all participants. I see real results without having to worry about injury. The best part is, after her class I always feel rejuvenated and all of the Pilates work compliments my other workouts and activities, driving me to be the best me I can be. Tara is the best! More...

Tara and Chrissie do a great job! After taking private classes for a year I switched to classes at Pilates Vitale and it has been twice as beneficial and less expensive. Recently I rode the Tour of the Moon cycling event and could tell that my core was stronger and overall I felt “strong”. Sure, I trained in other ways but I definitely felt like Pilates was the most beneficial component. Tara is also very aware of people’s aches, pains, and issues and has proven to be extremely helpful with injuries and other physical limitations. Their patience with beginners is great and they always show genuine concern. Most of all, I have had fun along the way as it is a very joyful experience! More...

I started working with Tara about a month ago. Already, I can see changes in my body. From the beginning Tara has worked with me to modify my workout due to some past injuries that have led to current pain and weakness. She is very knowledgeable of the physiology of the body and of how to correct different issues through Pilates. Even in a group setting she manages to focus on what we each individually need and how we are progressing. I would recommend Tara and her studio to anyone whether you are looking for a great workout, increased mobility and functionality, or relief from a specific injury. I am very glad I found this place.

I have taken Pilates from Tara twice a week for the last two years and can vouch for her expertise and professionalism. Over and over I have seen her gently correct form and tactfully customize exercise to ability. Every workout is different and full body, so there is no rote tedium and, as others have said, the results are astounding. What truly sets Tara apart from other instructors, though, is her positive energy. She creates a space that is warm and inviting and just nice to be there. That, as much as anything, is what keeps me coming back again and again. Highly recommend. More...

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Mindset and habits. Change how you think about yourself, your feelings will change and so will your actions. Start with 5 minutes a day until it’s a habit. Build up to 15 minutes and eventually you’ll love it so much you won’t want to stop there.
What do you love most about your job?
I love working with women to feel more empowered in their eating, movement and everyday activities. I also love working with couples and men who are mindful.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I studied Pilates from an instructor in her eighties and then taught several older clients, I realized this was something that people could enjoy at any age or ability. Pilates prolongs the life of your joints and tissues by addressing muscle imbalances, improving posture, and being low -impact. It is very dynamic and is also the best approach to whole body fitness and inner strength.
