5.0 out of 5 stars Classical Pilates Super Advanced Workout is Ethereal!, June 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Classical Pilates Complete Super Advanced Universal Reformer Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is extraordinary for several reasons, yet first because the super advanced Pilates workout routine has never been filmed before. This is reason enough to buy the video. Yet master instructor Bob Liekens and soloist/director Peter Fiasca go far beyond just making this a first-time deal. Peter, who performs the workout, demonstrates this rarified Pilates routine with unparalleled precision, elegance, intense mental focus, physical strength, and good cheer. Peter is such a pleasure to watch while master instructor Bob Liekens conveys keen insights, creative images, and wonderful descriptions. Bob Liekens' voice engages the viewer as he brings even more life into the already fabulous exhibition. Bob instructs with unique brilliance and command of Pilates technique. If you are a certified Pilates instructor, or an enthusiast who is interested in knowing how vast the Pilates realm really is, this video is a must see. This workout indeed honors Joseph H. Pilates with impeccable devotion to keeping the method pure as it was originally intended. I applaud both the work and courage of master instructor Bob Liekens and soloist/director Peter Fiasca for contributing to the entire Pilates profession by filming the exceedingly difficult, yet ethereal super advanced workout.

This Classical Pilates video is phenomenal; in fact, it's the best on the market! I am a firm believer in the benefits of Pilates method, and I know this video shows Pilates the way Joseph H. Pilates originally intended. This Classical Pilates video demonstrates the true and pure Pilates method at the highest levels of technical form, and I know this video will be the "the gold standard" by which all other videos are measured. This super advanced video is for mostly for Pilates instructors and certification programs, yet it is also for everyone to see how comprehensive, versatile, and amazing the Pilates method is in general. I recommend it to everyone I know.

This review is from: Classical Pilates Complete Super Advanced Universal Reformer Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

At first viewing, I was so mesmerized by Peter Fiasca's super-advanced workout that I watched it all the way through to the end. It was comparable to watching an athletic performance of dance. Such incredible strength and beauty...I had no idea that the Pilates method was so developed, and that one's technique could be so finely honed as Fiasca's. I am grateful to have discovered the Pilates technique, for it has made a dramatic improvement in my body and my life, and I am also indebted to Classical Pilates for producing such high quality technique videos which are educational, motivational and inspirational.
