Full Circle Fitness

What positive change have you noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness? Energized, Less stiff and more limber Pilates with Ashley is one of my favorite classes!

I feel so refreshed after taking Carrie’s mat Pilates class today. She is an excellent coach! May I share a thought? With the Holidays and craziness it brings —additional mindfulness or self awareness classes may be beneficial to calm us and keep us centered. Just a thought…..

Mike is an attentive coach who clearly understands each participant’s personal physical issues and thoughtfully works to accommodate them during various exercises. He consistently demonstrates how to perform movements when needed, breaking down the steps and showing proper form. While I don’t require a lot of help, there are moments when I’m left to assume I’m doing things right, but I appreciate that Mike is always nearby, ready to step in if necessary. Every session with him at Full Circle Fitness leaves me feeling that I’ve had a great workout - one that challenges my limits without feeling overwhelming. The way he adjusts exercises based on individual needs creates a supportive yet motivating atmosphere that makes each visit worthwhile.

Coach Mike challenges and supports me at the same time in a good way!

Very kind and attentive

Class was great. The new ab & hip moves were a bit challenging.

Today Rickye's enthusiasm and laughter made class even more fun. She kept the energy high throughout the workout.

Rickye, you are the best! You always provide guidance when needed and make class fun!

Rosa is a great Pilates instructor. She pushes you just enough based on your abilities, never too hard but always challenging in the right way. She has a great eye for even the smallest body movements and form corrections. During class at Full Circle Fitness, she carefully watches each participant, gently adjusting posture or alignment to help you engage the right muscles. This attention really helps everyone get the most out of each class, making the exercises feel more effective and purposeful. I always leave feeling like I’ve done a focused, full-body workout that improves both strength and flexibility.

Working with Rickye has been an absolute delight. She brings incredible energy, kindness, and patience to every session. She doesn’t just explain the exercises—she physically demonstrates each movement with clarity and enthusiasm, making everything easy to understand. What impresses me most is her sharp, eagle-eyed attention to detail. She watches your form closely, just like a protective and caring coach, and offers gentle, effective corrections to keep you safe and help you improve. Her guidance is always encouraging, never intimidating. Beyond her expertise, Rickye is simply fun to be around. Her positive spirit and upbeat personality make every workout something to look forward to. I feel supported, motivated, and genuinely cared for in her sessions. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

As someone who is new to Pilates, I appreciate Karrie’s attention to my form and technique. I have confidence in her ability to help me develop good technique and prevent injury. Thanks Karrie!

Mike was great! Right amount of feedback and help for my first class, so I knew what to do with good form- without being too hovery. :)

Mike is a great coach! He gives good tips on form that really help us to understand how to move safely and effectively. He notices if our posture is off or if someone is struggling with a certain exercise and takes the time to explain how to adjust to avoid injury. I really enjoy the lighthearted banter in class too. It reminds me not to take myself so seriously. This has been a big part of my ability to stick with it, especially since this is the first time I have ever joined a gym or done any formal exercise. I feel stronger and more stable in my own body now - everyday movements feel easier and I have more confidence in my balance and strength. The supportive atmosphere at Full Circle Fitness and the personalized attention I get here have made a huge difference in my fitness journey.

Rickye is always so positive and encouraging! She makes every session feel uplifting with her energy and genuine care. I really appreciate the way she personalizes our workouts, carefully adjusting exercises based on any issues I’m dealing with that day while also building on my strengths. Whether it’s modifying a move to protect a sore knee or adding extra reps when I’m feeling strong, she always knows how to tailor the workout perfectly. My Saturday morning class at Full Circle Fitness is the perfect way to end my week—Thank you, Rickye!

Always mindful of my limitations or where I’m having difficulty, and provides quick adjustment when needed. For example, when I struggled with a particular movement or felt any discomfort, the coach immediately noticed and modified the exercise to better suit my current ability. This attentiveness makes me feel supported. Love that Karrie is always cheerful. I mean always! 😊

How are you feeling after class? I’m feel great! I love teaching that ‘sweat point’ in class. Mike- today I appreciated you coaching on the ladder. I don’t like the ladder normally. But today you were actively encouraging a couple of classmates that were really excelling at the ladder and reaching their personal best. I appreciated your encouragement of my efforts to step it up!

Felt good starting to work out, even though I was a little intimidated at first not knowing anything. Mike gave very helpful instructions and feedback throughout the session - he explained each exercise step-by-step and checked my form. I’ll still need help remembering what to do next time. The ladies at the gym were all very friendly, helpful and encouraging . Looking forward to Friday!

Ashley is always very observant of my technique and gives great feedback during class. She is obviously a very knowledgeable coach and I very much enjoy taking classes with her.

She was great as usual! Very attentive to how we are doing.

On some exercises, he pushes me to go further than I think I can handle. The ladder, the Kaiser. He is encouraging but also firm, wants us to improve.

Thank you Mike for amazing work out and the motivation do appreciate it

My motivation centers around strength, and so I try to center all workouts to supporting that goal. Mike has recognized that in me and pushes me to reaching my potential. My shortcoming is confidence, and I appreciate his acknowledgement and encouragement. End result is that I feel supported, more confident, and stronger.

Pushed me to increase the amount of weight I was lifting in the chest press and Kaiser. It felt good to keep challenging myself to get stronger.

Was great! Calm and precise! I’m feeling great! Thank you

Mike was great, we were a bit intimidated and a little lost at the beginning but he was able to get us going and made us quickly feel at ease. We very much enjoyed our first season with him.

Well my legs were screaming at me, as was my core, yet we laughed. What more can we ask for?

Thanks for being aware of physical limitations and pushing me to do more.

Each time I have a class with Karrie, I know that she is going to challenge me, listen to me and do it all with humor and kindness. She has taught me to be more in touch with my body and my breathing.

She gave me instructions on what to do regarding my injury at work. She offered to do other exercises to help me, but I felt it was better to rest. She is always looking out for me. Love the way explains what she trying to have us accomplish during our sessions

We had a great motivating and challenging class today. 5 star!

Kathy’s demonstration of each exercise and identification of muscle groups to be engaged is helpful and appreciated. She watches each Small Group participant attentively offering corrections and encouragement as indicated. A SGT experience with Kathy always makes me smile and appreciate having worked out. 💪🏼🏋🏻‍♀️

I was impressed with how much knowledge Ashley has about scoliosis while helping me complete various moves and how patient she is.

Rickye is an excellent trainer/coach. She is very detailed in explaining and demonstrating movements and how to do them correctly. She also makes sure you perform them properly. I have learned a lot from Rickye of things that I was doing incorrectly.

Love her support, guidance and enthusiasm. She is very knowledgeable too and always has modifications if a movement or exercise can't be done.

Today Mike was encouraging and fun like he always is. He took care to tailor the exercises to each person’s ability. He asked us how we were doing and made modifications when it was appropriate. He knows I’m trying to increase my strength so he pushes me a little, which I appreciate.

Like that he called out the switch in the ramps.

Mike challenges me in a supportive way. He’s great at leading a group workout and customizing the set for each person

Rickye is the BEST! I appreciate that she made sure that we knew each other’s names at the beginning of class. I had recognized everyone but didn’t know their names. Rickye also knows the needs of my body and brought me adaptive equipment to support my neck and shoulders. She pushes me to get a challenging workout without hurting myself. I appreciate her keeping an eye out for me and my special needs. Thank you Rickye for taking care of me and helping me to take care of myself!

Mike always willing to make adjustments to my workouts as needed but he never lets me skip out. He knows so many options so he finds something that works

Thorough with movement screen

Today was not different than any other day because Mike is always phenomenal! He is upbeat, positive, encouraging and highly motivating. I always want to try my hardest when he is coaching.

He encourages us to push beyond where we think we can go but gets it when we say we have reached our limits. There may be more for him to learn in terms of watching and correcting our forms, but I think he’s gotten better with that. He’s always pleasant and upbeat and enjoyable to be around.

Rickye is the best. I could tell she had thought about my specific needs returning from an illness break. She had thought out how I should adapt certain exercises. She is so adept at juggling the needs of all of the individuals at once She was so attentive during the session and gave us specific feedback while maintaining an encouraging environment. I also loved the Motown theme! I love Rickye's classes.

He is a great motivator. He knows when to encourage me to do more.

So enjoyed the class and the fun interaction between all of us. Loved the different movements and the detailed in being sure we did it correctly.

Ashley is precise, kind, and motivating. She is able to help me identify appropriate muscle activation and positioning for safety and my best results. You work hard in her class but she brings a sense of calm and confidence.

Rosa was very helpful, kind, and patient. I just got a new knee brace and was a bit anxious about how a workout at the gym would work with it. Rosa showed me accommodations so i could get a good workout even using the brace. Great gym.

I appreciate how positive and welcoming Mike always is!

It was really great. We worked a lot on stabilizing and balancing issues-and of course strengthening I felt heard and well instructed.💪🏻😘thanks Rosa

I always appreciate when the coach helps with weight recommendations and/or remembers the correct weight for me to use, or pushes me to go a bit higher which you are great at doing.

Today was a great workout. I love Ashley’s attention to detail. She explains which muscles should be firing- and she notices when we are doing moves correctly or need more prompting. I appreciate her visual cues—modeling with her hands what our feet should be doing and checking for understanding or confusion. She is constantly encouraging our efforts, It’s clear Ashley loves learning and helping us to be our best.

Mike’s class is always fun, constant encouragement and very enthusiastic

Kathy was great! She was pleasant, patient and encouraging.

Rosa is fantastically awesome. I walked away with a burst of energy and a positive outlook on my day. Full Circle fitness is a great way to start my day

Karrie’s instructions are clear & concise, with moments of humor; I enjoy her routines which are well balanced, so my entire body gets a workout.

Excellent as always. I had some soreness today and she help me modify. So I felt better after I left instead of worst like other classes I tske at the studio.

I like the fact that Rickye demonstrates the movements for us so that we can do them properly. I also appreciate that she can keep us on track as we sometimes get distracted with conversations.

The suggestion to work on my balance. And you are always positive and encouraging. You give detailed instructions and watch closely and correct. Thank you Mike. I really appreciate you.

Karrie always assesses her class members and adjusts settings for each participants maximum benefit while always realizing there may be small tweaks needed for some of us (my bad back, for example). I love that she keeps the pace going for each activity and gives clear concise oral directions to help us go through the movements. Most of all, I love Karrie's sense of humor and her "realness". She is a wonderful coach who has pushed me to improve and stretch my physical strength and abilities but one who also adjusts the lesson when needed to help me through a lesson.

Rickye does a wonderful job of encouraging and challenging and watching each of us, to adjust form if needed to keep us all safe. I always appreciate her classes!

Rickey came well-prepared with detailed notes and created a warm, welcoming, and encouraging atmosphere. It was a wonderful introduction class today!

Cathy keeps us engaged and focused while reminding us about all the good stuff that’s happening to our bodies while we’re doing specific movements or exercises. She checks in with us in the beginning to see how we’re feeling and then helps us do our best.

It was so good to be back on the reformer today. Thanks Karrie

Mike welcomed me immediately upon arrival. He was supportive and provided easy to understand guidance. He has a perfect personality and coaching style for those of us over 50, well quite a bit over 50. Finished my first class feeling physically good and personally supported in working on my goals.

Pushes for best effort, sensitive to problems. Good coach!

She made the experience enjoyable and I felt that I got the workout I wanted. I absolutely will attend her classes

After losing "fitness ground" during a 3-1/2 week road trip, Mike welcomed me back, suggesting movement adjustments that I needed for the new program. It was great to jump back in!

Friday's class was good. I was definitely feeling it after using the gliders. The hollow hold and roll overs are hard, more mental than you'd think getting everything moving to do a single task (rolling over). Thanks for hanging in there with us.

If I leave sweating, it was a good workout. Still making it fit within my capabilities but Mike helped me switch one up that I could do pain free. Always a bonus.

Ashley was our coach. Please put her name on the list!!! Ashley is great. Knowledgeable and friendly! Super addition to your staff!

Karrie is a great coach and teacher! She is supportive and provides positive feedback to make sure you are doing the Pilates skill correctly. She makes the class fun and the time flies by.

The way he runs the classes is so great; firm, yet loving and supportive. He leads a challenging workout and keeps things moving...no excuses!

My first time back at a gym in a long time I really liked Carrie as my instructor today I'm super happy I found this little gym and her energy was fantastic and her teaching was far above my expectations

Mike is very fitness knowledgeable and he brings in humor to make the class fun while we are working hard!

My very first Pilates was with Karrie and I’m hooked! Like always Karrie makes Pilates fun while kicking our ass. Love it!

Mike is very focused on helping us succeed. I appreciate Mike's experience and sense of humor. I enjoy his coaching.

I came in a bit tired and cranky and Mike was encouraging and funny and soon I was glad I was there. The workout was tough but actually fun. Mike is very supportive. 😊

Loved the Functional Aging Workshop. I brought two friends and they thought it was very informative. It makes me want to keep moving and get stronger.

Great , I m very happy .

Coach is always encouraging us and challenging us. And he's watching and giving feedback on our form. Classes are always fun! And we've increased our strength!!!

As always, Karrie's classes are great

Mike did great today. I am enjoying the challenges he is setting up for me. I am getting stronger and feeling good after our session.

Mike does a good job and has a great rapport with our very early morning class. He is kind but also pushes us to increase weight or get better in other ways

Mike had a great attitude towards us since we were on vacation and obviously out of sync. Ugh! Your sincere patience was noted yet you remained firm on expectations. Thanks!

Always appreciate her helpfulness and suggestions of alternative exercises when needed.

Refreshing sense of humor and exacting exercise in one session? Karrie is a delight. Precise instruction and reassuring feedback made for an effective workout and great start to my morning. Thank you!

Jack’s workouts are always challenging, Jack is knowledgeable about the body and how to make us more fit. He is fully engaged in each session providing important feedback to each person. His training is positive and motivating. Every training session is well structured and tailored to a variety of goals and abilities. The workouts have made me stronger and more confident the training is very effective,

Good class. Like the more intermediate level classes. Need more of them. Thanks.

He is wonderful and with lots of patience and challenge me to my limit. We come to the class with lots of variety movement. Love to work out with coach Alfonso.

He was wonderful! Pushed me just enough and was patient with my slower learning curve!

Karrie is a great Pilates teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always attentive to form, making sure we’re doing each move safely and effectively. Her sense of humor keeps us laughing, and her joyful energy makes every class something to look forward to.

Rickey is always great,motivating and focused in everyone doing the exercises right. Live her class!!

Alfonso’s personal attention is valuable. I appreciate his adjustments during an exercise. I have very specific needs and he helps me a lot.

Rickye’s energy helps to keep everyone motivated and moving even on tough speed days when you think you’re not going to make it to the end.

I always enjoy taking Karrie's classes. Today's was especially helpful. Thank you.

Mike is upbeat, positive and always very helpful. He has no ego…he just wants to support and help everyone achieve their fitness goals. He keeps the workouts fun and interesting. I have enjoyed working out with him every time.

Was lucky to have Mike 1 on 1 for today’s session after a two month layoff.

I love Coach Karrie. Her energy is uplifting. Her knowledge of Pilates and preparedness for class is definitely five star. I especially like how she modifies her lesson for each person. Not every person everyday feels the same.

Hi Karrie I like changing up the routine like we did today. I want to continue to be challenged, adding weights did that. Any way we can incorporate the other equipment occasionally? Keep doing what you do, I enjoy our sessions. Liz

He is always right on top of movement and lets you know when you doing right and adjusts when you have problems and dpi G something wrong

Karrie guided us in a challenging yet fun session of Mat Pilates. She was vigilant and helpful with proper form and always knows when to push us further and when to make accommodations. Great work out!
