“Lou and her classes are absolutely amazing. She has both motivated and inspired me to work out and to enjoy it! Her cardio classes are a fantastic work out. She is conscientious about always changing the routine so as to keep the class always challenged. You will work so hard to keep up with her you won’t even realize you’re working out! As for her body sculpting class – this is incredible as well. The class is challenging yet relaxing. Lou makes sure your body and mind really connect during these classes. After leaving any of Lou’s classes, my day is always much brighter. It is obvious that for Lou, working out is not just a physical activity. It is mental and spiritual as well. That is something that is translated in the way that she teaches, and is something I take with me no matter what class or activity I am doing.”

" Lou's classes are the best aerobic 50 minutes that you can get in NYC!  A consummate professional, she is dedicated to making your workout the best it can be by explaining the logic behind the exercise.  I hold her weekly kickboxing class like religion! "

"Lou is first and foremost an amazing athlete. Her fitness level would inspire any student to commit to her classes. In addition, she is a talented choreographer, who always creates new combinations and enables her students to improve their coordination skills, and more importantly have fun while having a great work out. She always makes sure to have new moves as well as new music so that I always have a great time during her class. 
Last but not least, Lou is one of the rare instructors who provides feedback to participants and congratulates them on their achievement. Lou is a tremendously gifted instructor, in fact the best I've had in my 10 years as an avid gym-goer!"

"I've been taking Lou's classes religiously for the last 5+ years. She is an amazing instructor, with incredible energy, and is always incorporating new choreography into her routines so they never become stale.  She's so good, in fact, that when I moved across town, I traveled an hour roundtrip to her classes for about a year... she is THAT good. Get out there and take her classes!"

"Without a doubt...I enjoy Lou's classes more than any other within the NYSC system (and I've been to a lot!) I am always amazed how each week she surprises us with another unique routine. And the best thing about her combinations is that they always end up fitting together perfectly. Steps that seem out in left field will all of a sudden melt together with the others. I don't know how she does it. Plus, it's a fantastic calorie-burning workout. Five out of five stars for Lou."

 "I remember the first time I took Lou's class 7 years ago...she had spunk, style and a knowledge of the body which has only increased to this day. Lou's class is one of the safest around. No matter how many in her class, she makes sure all exercises are performed in the correct manner .
There are instructors and there are teachers, the former being those who care about form, position and the affect on a student's body and that is where Lou's attributes shine.Don't let her southern accent fool ya , she is NY savvy..."

"I have been a devotee of Lou and her classes for almost five years. What's special... is that she imparts knowledge along with her direction; she'll mention muscle names and structure, functionality and potential weaknesses -- all in a very down-to-earth, easy-to-take manner overlaid with her southern accent. The warm-ups are lighthearted and the music she plays is eclectic. She knows what she's doing and you can't help learning when you take her class."

 "Lou's kickboxing class is varied to never allow you to become bored. She introduces a number of moves then combines them into a complete combination as a final workout. The class not only provides a cardio workout, but also provides a mental workout. The moves are a complete body workout without impact. After the class all my muscles are loosened up and I am left energized."

"Only Lou exercises all four quadriceps, all three triceps and both biceps, and from every angle. I found more challenge in Lou's classes than anywhere else!  Her conditioning class is probably the only thing on earth that is both addictive and good for you!"

"I loved taking her course because she let us know exactly what muscles we are working on and why and she's fun."

"The class that I look forward to most is Lou's body conditioning- relaxed but serious fitness...Music is energizing but not aggressive and jarring, and Lou's unique style and explanations have convinced me of her knowledge -I haven't quite caught memorized the muscle names that she points out- gluteous... trapezoidal... transverse...- whatever! It's all good."

Paisley

"Lou brings to her classes a great evolving understanding of the body's natural intelligence and workings.  Her interest and experience in music and movement infuse her classes with great rhythm.  Lou is an excellent instructor for people at all fitness levels, always willing to work on basics, and always able to present challenge."
