As a pre-professional ballet dancer with Charlotte Ballet, I walked into my first class at Hilliard Studio Method thinking it would be a breeze. Any workout involving a ballet barre would be easy for me, right? Within five minutes, my expectations were proved wrong. My arms were shaking and I quickly dropped from five pounds […]

When I started Hilliard Studio Method, I knew immediately it was what I’d been looking for – low impact but still with the intensity and energy I love. I decided to drop my other strength workouts and make HSM part of my daily routine, which my knees thanked me for. In time, things like holding […]

Coming from a family of Chiropractors, health has played an important role in my life, but less than a year ago I began to struggle. I became frustrated that I hadn’t found a method of exercise I was truly passionate about. I started to lose motivation to go to the gym and blamed it on […]

In 2014 I took my first class at Hilliard Studio Method with my friend Tracy.  I was hooked from my first class!  I am a Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) self-professed groupie and have been regularly attending Hilliard two to three times a week since the end of August.

I have always heard about the Hilliard Studio Method but just wasn’t sure I could actually do it. I like to exercise but have never been an avid exerciser. I found it very hard to find time.

I started attending classes at Hilliard Studio Method at a time of big change in my life.  I had just moved cross-country, just had my first baby, and just left a fairly high-stress job that involved sitting behind a computer for many hours a day. I have always enjoyed exercise, but Hilliard Studio Method was […]

HSM has strengthened my body, improved my posture and changed my life! It’s been officially two years since I first discovered HSM and life just hasn’t been the same. Before HSM I desperately needed help with my posture due to some injuries and a job that keeps me spending hours at a time at my […]

Last September I celebrated my birthday by purchasing my first HSM class package and by having a health exam. The latter admittedly not as exciting as opening a little blue box to see something sparkly shining back at me, but what I’d soon find out is that both of these ‘gifts’ would alter and eventually […]
