Personal Training with Beth
Pilates
​Postural Restoration Style
Beth teaches Pilates integrating Postural Restoration. Pilates focuses on the core (particularly the transverse abdominis) and Postural Restoration is at the cutting edge of our scientific understanding of the body and its asymmetries and how the diaphragm and its health can help balance and heal our bodies. Pilates Postural Restoration Style will give your body a workout that helps heal your body rather than adding more stress to it.
Fun Fact: The transverse abdominis (the main muscle we focus on in Pilates) is also known as the "corset muscle," or in modern times your tight jeans muscle, because it gets smaller as you flex it, making those corsets/jeans go on easier.
**The Reformer is the available Pilates equipment at Attune Fitness.
Testimonials
Anna Patton
Raleigh, NC
"I thought I sought Beth out for strength and biomechanics training. Little did I know, she would build up so much more than my physical body. Having experienced extreme surgical and medical trauma, I was hesitant to begin exercising again. I'd been in protection mode for so long, I couldn't imagine rediscovering joy in movement. However, Beth has such a grounded, authentic way of really seeing her clients that I was immediately at ease with her. She has stayed by me patiently--allowing me to test out movements with grace and safety. She provides compassionate affirmations that strengthen my spirit alongside my muscles. While we are only a few weeks into our work together, I already feel more present in my body and more prepared to explore activity than I have in years!"

"I have been Beth Elder's client for more than twenty years, and have taken both private reformer and group mat Pilates classes with her, as well as Chi Walking.
Weekly classes with Beth through Attune Fitness, LLC are the foundation of my fitness program. Although no two Pilates classes are alike, I can be sure that Beth will provide thorough conditioning, as well as standing balance work, in every rigorous session. Because Beth focuses on good form and offers specific cues for all exercises, I always feel challenged, yet safe, in her classes. Beth encourages students to "listen to their bodies," and is happy to provide modifications to exercises so that everyone gets the workout that they need. And because her mat Pilates classes are recorded as well as live-streamed, one can take them at one's convenience.
Beth is a consummate professional--in addition to her certifications as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor, she continues to learn and study and shares that knowledge with her clients. Beth also brings joy, humor, compassion, and empathy to her classes. I give Beth Elder and Attune Fitness, LLC my highest and unqualified recommendation!"

"I have been training with Beth Elder for 6-7 years. She is outstanding. Beth helped me with general fitness and conditioning, and she also worked me through the 6-month recovery for rotator cuff surgery on right shoulder. We then rehabbed the other shoulder to a point where it feels great and does not need surgery. Overall, I have been extremely happy with Beth and give her a topmost recommendation."
