Sandy R. - " Pat
Massey Welter is one of the finest teachers I have ever worked with. Her
expertise as a Pilates trainer is only surpassed by the sensitivity and
empathy she had for my particular physical challenges through out the past
nine months of my training program. My results have been dramatic and life
changing." (Continued testimonial below*)
Annemarie - ""I have been training with Pat for the past year.
And, not only do I think she is an incredible trainer, she is a wonderful
person. She has shown me such commitment, understanding and concern throughout
our relationship. Pat is so easy to be with and take direction from. Her life
is an inspiration, and because of that she is a wonderful motivator. Having
never been a true fan of exercise, I actually enjoy the time I spend with Pat.
We have done various forms of training from Pilates to overall fitness. She is
equally knowledgeable and exceptional at both. I don't think you could find a
better trainer out there. I feel fortunate to have found her and make exercise
a regular part of my life now."
Joan - "What I have lost is inches.
I have totally reshaped my body!"
Michele - "I never exercised
before in my life until I worked out at Suncoast Pilates with Pat. She has
given me a body of which I am proud. No one can believe how good I look
for my age. I do a combination of weight training and Pilates with Pat
twice a week. Pat gave me the POWER!" Michele (below) is 64 as of
8/18/08.

Jonica - "What
a wonderful trainer and all around great person Pat Massey Welter is. I started
training with Pat in an attempt to get back into shape after my Pacemaker
implant at the age of 32. I’ve always been an athletic, fit, and motivated
individual, but I needed some serious help to get back on course without getting
too discouraged with my new situation. Pat’s unbelievable spirit &
encouragement got me right back on track in no time. She is very
innovative in her workouts and discovers new ways to challenge her clients while
accounting for physical limitations and never letting an excuse get in the way
of pushing us to our full potential. Her humor and great
personality have also made her a wonderful friend and physical fitness mentor.
Pat is supportive of her clients in every single aspect of their life, which
only begins with the very intense workout sessions."
Barbara - "I have known Patricia Massey Welter
for 11 years now, and can't say enough great things about her. Pat has helped
me to stick with an exercise program, and not give up on losing weight, even
through some pretty tough times.
As an attorney, my schedule didn't leave much time for healthy eating or
exercise, and I have been overweight for many years. While image isn't
everything, being overweight was taking its toll on my health, and my work
efforts.
With her Pilates instruction and personal
support, Pat helped me shed 80 pounds and I know that I will reach my weight
loss goal. Pat cares so deeply about her clients, and tailors her workout to
what the client can physically do, slowly leading them to the realization that
they are capable of much more than originally thought. I, for one, never
thought I'd be capable of doing some of the exercises on the Pilates Reformer
that I now do without even thinking about it. The resulting feeling of
empowerment has transferred over to all aspects of my life - I feel better, have
more energy and stamina, and my golf swing has improved significantly!
Through it all, Pat never gave up on me, and that is the difference between Pat
and so many other trainers. Pat honestly cares about my progress, and in
helping me achieve my goal of being fit and in shape.
All I can say is that Pat is amazing, and anyone who is fortunate enough to work
with her will reap the benefits for their lifetime."
Judy
- "I have been to gyms off and on in the different states I have
lived. I have never really followed through long term, having gotten bored
after four to six weeks, until I had a major back injury. My personal
training on the Pilates Reformer machine changed my life. Pilates is what
saved me from back surgery. It is the only therapy/ exercise that has
worked for me and is easy to do and non-impact, making it extremely easy to stay
in a routine."

Cheryl - "I've been training with Pat for several
months now on the Pilates Reformer. The Reformer is new to me but I'm no
stranger to Pilates. I have osteo-arthritis myself as well as weaknesses
in my cervical and lumbar spine due to previous injuries and herniations.
Pat has taken me to a new level as far as Pilates is concerned. She is
different from other fitness trainers because she is so in-tune to the human
body. There are three other people in my Reformer class. Many of us
have special needs due to previous injuries or medical conditions.
Pat adjusts the routine to suit all of our needs, yet somehow manages to keep
us all in sync. It's amazing!
Pat is not only an excellent trainer, she's also a great
teacher. She shares her ability to tune into the human body with each and
every one of us so we know just how far to push ourselves and exactly when to
back down.
Pat is a motivator and a mentor. She strives for perfection
not only for herself but also for each and every one of her
students. When Pat pushes she pushes hard, yet somehow manages to push with
such a gentle spirit."

Sandy P.
- "I
HAVE ATTENDED PILATES SESSIONS WITH PAT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND HAVE FOUND HER TO
BE VERY MOTIVATING, ABLE TO WORK AROUND MY INJURIES BUT STILL GIVE ME A GREAT
WORKOUT. SHE IS GENUINELY NICE AND CARING PERSON." |

Michael - "I DID A LOT OF
RESEARCH BEFORE I CAME TO SUNCOAST PILATES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO
THIS FACILITY!" |
(*continued from Sandy R. from above)
- "I was an athlete and a dancer most
of my young life, instructed by many trainers throughout the years. I was a
teacher most of my adult life and hold a Master’s Degree in Education. For
those two reasons, I feel qualified to say without reservation that Patricia
Massey Welter is one of the finest teachers I have ever worked with. Her
expertise as a Pilates trainer is only surpassed by the sensitivity and
empathy she had for my particular physical challenges through out the past
nine months of my training program. My results have been dramatic and life
changing.
As of October, I no longer get
cortisone shots from my doctor because I no longer need them for pain. The
knee replacement surgery my doctor and I thought was imminent can now be put
off for many years. But the proof of the pudding, as they say, is that during
the month of November, my husband and I hiked in Bryce Canyon, Utah and around
the upper trails of the south rim of the Grand Canyon. At Bryce, I was able to
hike down a 500’ vertical trail, cross the base of the canyon and then hike
back up - a hike that was about three miles long. I never faltered and felt no
discomfort during or after the hike. My upper & lower body strength had so
greatly improved, I was able to take on every physical challenge I chose and,
more importantly, I was able to keep myself safe at the same time. (You can
definitely fall and die in the canyons if you aren’t careful, and many folks
do every year.) What a joy and thrill it was to be able to experience the
beauty of Bryce Canyon from the bottom of it and not merely from one of the
scenic overlooks because of my improved strength and agility.
The Bryce Canyon hike was not only a
high point in my physical life and a culmination of the work I had done with
Pat, but a true, living testament to her talent and abilities as a trainer. At
this point, I cannot imagine a life without Pilates or Pat."
