I was continually impressed by Manon’s ability to be focused and attentive to my particular needs. Her versatility is always apparent and she tailored a program devoted specifically to the level of my ability. Her knowledge and commitment to the quality and specificity of her work is truly admirable in today’s mass-market approach to exercise. I highly recommend her for any position requiring her skills as a Pilates instructor and related exercise programs.”

Manon Laplante and I have worked together for over two years. She has assisted me at several of my teaching seminars, and is a wonderful and insightful teacher in her own right. She is detailed, knowledgeable, and precise in her instructions, and has often filled in details for me when I forget! I know she continues to study and improve her knowledge at seminars for Pilates teachers and I encourage her to offer her own seminars in the future.”

Manon has been my Pilates instructor for some years and I find her extremely knowledgeable, truly dedicated and consistent. I had tried other instructors before I found her and nothing compared. Her approach is intelligent and thorough. She customized a program for my own personal needs and helped me immensely to not only get in shape, but to manage pain as well.”

I have been involved in the Martial Arts and the fitness industry for over 35 years and I know how to evaluate a trainer. After only one session with Manon I could tell that she was a very good Pilates instructor. When she works with someone, she is fully dedicated and takes it really seriously.”

Manon offered her 2-hour workshop to my players this fall and I was very impressed with her skills and knowledge. Her program is well designed and clearly built for the sport. My players learned a lot and are now integrating these new skills to their training. I plan on having her come back soon and would definitely recommend her program to players of any caliber.”
