Read what some of Darcie's clients have to say.....

"I LOVE PILATES!!!  After just a few short lessons with Darcie I realized that this is the exercise for me!  I enjoy working out for the first time in my life.  I struggled with knee and shoulder issues that were a result of muscle weakness and bad form.  Darcie showed me how important my core muscles were and as I grew stronger I realized the difference in my posture and how much better I felt just standing properly.  I have never had good abs or a toned butt – but with Darcie and Stott Pilates I Do NOW!

Darcie Allen is the BEST INSTRUCTOR. Darcie has improved my life by helping me get in good physical shape that allows me to work on my renovation projects almost pain free! My knee hasn’t swelled and my shoulder is getting better. Darcie has given me a new focus and love for working out that I will do for the rest of my life."
Karen Williams - Punta Gorda, Florida

"We have worked with Darcie for the past few months, and she is simply amazing! Always prepared, very knowledgable and she excels at keeping things light while making you work your tush off- literally. (My wife's has never looked better;). We can't say enough good things about her, other than that we have partcicpated in Pilates everywhere from MI, to AZ to FL, and she is our favorite. Her enthusiasm for her profession is obvious and very contagious. She makes us look forward to exercising, and how many people can say that?"
David and Molly Conger - Sarasota, Florida

"Darcie is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate personal trainers I have worked with. I've been working out for the past 30 years and she makes the Pilates sessions fun, informative and is always explaining the muscle you are working and the benefits. I was new to STOTT PILATES™ and was a little skeptical at first, but Darcie made me feel comfortable and confident that I could do it!!"
