Patti is a gifted practitioner. She has a remarkable breadth of knowledge that she brings to each of our sessions. While she always has a plan for each session, she is able to pivot easily to address a specific concern I have that day. I have worked with a number of practitioners over the years and Patti is by far the best!!

I have known Patti for over 2 years and have really enjoyed working with her. She is extremely knowledgeable about exercise and the body. Because of this, she is able to vary the exercises as needed for each individual client. She makes the workouts fun and I look forward to each session I have with her. I am also really happy about how she has worked with my personal issues and how she has helped me change my body. She is an extremely talented teacher and exercise guru. Try her out, you’ll like her! She is indisputably a treasure as a Pilates teacher and compassionate human being.

Patti has not only changed the way my body works and looks but she is also such a positive force in so many ways. She has helped to be more conscious nutritional value.I have become better not just physically but also mentally because of Patti. I have sought help for many years from multiple fitness providers but it wasn’t until I was referred to Needham Pilates that I learned a healthy life style and my body looks better than it did when I was in college!!!!

I work out with Pattie both in the studios and on zoom. Great work outs. We work strength, balance and core. The flexibility of the zoom or in studio helps me maintain my schedule. I love these work outs.

Needham Pilates and really Patti Forte has the most personalized Pilates instruction I have ever had. I have been taking classes (usually with 2-3 other friends) for over 4-5 years with Patti and it is a great way to do exercise focused on core and stretching... I like that she varies the workout each week AND that she kept us going strong during COVID!!

Patti is an instructor extraordinaire! Several friends recommended her, and I have not been disappointed. I have been a client for 4 years. Patti's workouts/routines are customized for each client. She accurately assess needs and builds unique routines to meet those needs. She tracks progress and builds on that progress, so that not only are my routines unique to me - no two sessions of mine have ever been the same. When the pandemic hit, she seamlessly transitioned to online classes. She was able to replicate routines that had used machines with handheld equipment that I either had, purchased, or borrowed from Patti. (yes - she has loaned out her own equipment so that clients can continue to work out). I have no hesitation in recommending Patti - and can't wait to get back into the studio to work with her in person! Nancy - Needham, MA

Needham Pilates and Fitness a.k.a., Patti Pilates has changed my life. I've been doing this for over 10 years and have noticed changes, not just in my body but in my mental well being. I have never stuck with anything so long and I feel like something is missing in my life when she's away. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I have been taking class twice a week at Needham Pilates and Fitness for over two years and cannot speak highly enough about my consistently excellent experience. Patti is truly an expert in Pilates and anatomy and has helped me heal and grow stronger, more flexible and better balanced, through a variety of customized workouts. She also stays very up to date on pilates and introduces new techniques to keep things interesting and impactful. She has a gently way while also creating the space for you to push yourself as hard as you are comfortable or desire. No review would be complete without mentioning that Patti is also a wonderful, fun, compassionate and loving person, which comes through clearly while primarily maintaining a supportive and professional practice. If she has space in her schedule, grab it!

Patti is performing Pilates miracles on my broke down, aging body weekly! She is an expert in anatomy and devoted to her clients' well-being. Looking forward to enjoying golf, cycling and running this Spring due to her dedication and expert knowledge
