"Becky's classes are like practicing meditation, yoga, Pilates, strength-training, and cardio-fitness in one session. These classes help me check all the boxes." ~J.D.
"Becky has been a “silver-lining” for stress filled days long before the time of COVID. Now with her online format, it is even easier to find some grounding, work on strength and balance (both mind and body). Being able to walk into the next room and turn on class has allowed me to give my family time that they need, stay safe, and focus on my wellness too. Becky’s fitness knowledge, spirit of generosity and encouraging words make her classes accessible for all body types, abilities, and stress-levels!! Thank-you Becky!"

"I’ve enjoyed taking classes from Becky for over ten years, and I’m very grateful that she’s teaching via Zoom during this challenging time. Becky’s instructions are always clear and encouraging, offering modifications that take into consideration a variety of needs participants may have, and always wrapping up with balance exercises and a grounding mediation. I highly recommend Becky’s classes to anyone seeking greater strength and balance, both inside and out!"

"I started working with Becky in the Spring to address the imbalance in strength between my left and right side that was contributing to back pain during and after long runs. Since I've been working with Becky, my running form has improved and I feel strong and capable as I head towards a fall marathon. Becky will help you test yourself to do more - her individualized workouts have been intimidating but not impossible, which is exactly what I need to continue on this journey. I leave the studio every week, impressed by myself and the improvement I can see week to week as a result of Becky's excellent coaching."

"I started taking classes with Becky right after I came back to work from maternity leave. After a year of feeling like my body belonged to somebody else, it felt wonderful to do something good for me. I started feeling stronger immediately. Even on days where I didn’t feel like I was working hard, I would wake up the next day feeling sore. Now, two years later, I am stronger than I have ever been. Adding Becky’s class to my workout regimen has allowed me to run faster, bike longer and snowboard better. I never miss the opportunity to sign up for one of her group classes."
C.M. Burlington, VT
"Becky’s years of experience, knowledge, listening and motivational skills are a hard-to-find combination! Facing later-in-life orthopedic and balance issues, and a “9 to 5” office job, inactivity was becoming my norm. Becky was able to create a custom routine that interspersed exercise sets throughout my day; by the time I left work, I had finished 30+ minutes of exercise! After a few months of progressively more difficult sets, I was strong enough to enroll in her classes. Recently Becky worked with me to create an individualized pool routine. Becky’s ability to customize exercises to fit your needs, whether in class or one to one, is amazing." Suzanne S. – Duxbury, VT
"I have been attending Becky’s pilates classes for years and love the welcoming, positive, warm environment that Becky strives to create for all attendees. Everyone is encouraged to be present in the workout and push as much or little as their body is ready for on that day. To further my wellness journey, I’ve also worked with Becky one on one to develop a nutritional plan that works for me as an individual. She is incredibly well informed on the latest data and helped clarify the abundance of information available regarding proper nutrition for weight loss. From our very first meeting, Becky was exceptionally clear and knowledgeable on all things nutrition, which immediately helped me begin to dispel some of the mistruths I had read prior to working together and overcome the plateau I had found myself on. She understands that health is not just about treating the body, but the mind as well. We’ve since established an effective, manageable and exciting nutritional path towards improved wellness that has resulted in significant weight loss and much greater self-esteem. Becky is not only a coach but a partner in the journey towards health, and my life has improved greatly from our work together. I’d recommend her services to anyone!"

"My A1c went from 6.2 to 5.9. I haven't been particularly good about the sweets and breads. Doctor thought that the exercise was probably making a difference for me."

"I am one of those people who has always loved exercise and being in a team environment. Becky’s class combines these two fun activities for me. It is important for me to feel like I am challenged but having fun when I exercise. I attended the Barre class for the first time last week and loved it. Becky took us from a gentle stretch into a challenging lower body series of moves. Just when I thought I was at my limit, she took the class back to an easy stretch to release the muscles we worked. It was like she was reading my mind and is a really good instructor that knows how to take care of the body with the perfect combinations of challenges, expertise, and fun. Every class starts with a personal greeting and a smile and ends with an uplifting quote or passage. Working out with Becky improves the body and mind!"
Rhonda Hannon- Waterbury, VT
"Becky is a great personal trainer - kind, supportive, and enthusiastic - and I was pleased with my progress at home. But I have to say - as great as Becky is one-on-one - I absolutely LOVE her style of coaching in the small group setting of our Pilates class, enjoyable from beginning to end! In an upbeat and fun way, Becky gives clear instructions for learning new routines, while encouraging us to be respectful of what our bodies are telling us, assisting with personalized guidance for any modifications we may need to make. And each class ends as it began, with Becky offering us a thoughtful quote or other words of encouragement in an exercise of relaxation, mindfulness and connecting with self and community. Workouts with Becky engage the body and the spirit! I highly recommend her Pilates 101 class and am looking forward to Pilates level 2!"
C.P. Waterbury, VT
I can write a new chapter in my life and be someone I never imagined being-- a healthy, fit person who can actually run miles at a time LOVING IT. I told someone recently, in reference to work, that I am the happiest and most satisfied that I have been. The truth is, my personal life and my work losing weight and getting into shape is no doubt the cornerstone to it all."
K.M. Waterbury, VT -Participant of group classes
"I take Becky's morning classes before work, and love them. After a quick change, I am off to my office, feeling centered, powerful, and energized throughout the day. I love Becky's classes because she provides a really nourishing workout environment. I feel supported to honor and respect where by body is at, taking it easy if I need to or pushing myself really hard. This class is a great addition to anyone's wellness routine, or a perfect step to help start one!"
Erica Campbell- Waterbury Center, VT
"My husband and I met with Becky over the course of six months to better understand how and what modifications in our food intake and mindfulness would help us improve our physical and mental wellbeing. The very first exercise we had was to record 3 days of food intake – this was monumentally beneficial as Becky was able to give us immediate feedback to make small and simple changes to what we were already eating in order to jumpstart our journey toward health. Those first dietary changes brought immediate benefits, and gave us motivation to learn more. Becky showed us the numerous issues present in the common American diet, and broadened our understanding of enjoyable foods that would provide balanced, steady energy. She was also able to guide us on effective movement strategies and stretching techniques to ensure we were able to enjoy our time burning calories and prevent injury, and continually emphasized the importance of mindfulness on overall health. Altogether we’ve lost more than 140 lbs., and have a much more complete understanding of what we’re putting in our bodies. Our time with Becky has been instrumental in achieving our health goals, and we’ll be forever grateful for her guidance."
E.B. Waterbury,
"I have been attending Becky’s classes for 3 years. There are several reasons that keep me coming back: First no two classes have ever been exactly the same! She’s always switching up her routines: from circuit training to floor exercises and weight training with free weights and bands to incorporating Pilates movements into her classes. The second part that makes her classes work so well for me is that for each exercise she gives modifications for your individual needs. I find this so helpful, because then I don’t feel I have to “kill myself to keep up with the group”, I can do the movements within my own comfort level and not risk injury that might set me back. Also, she’ll even give you an exercise completely different from the rest of the group if you have any issues, like with your back or shoulder or wrist for example. Thirdly, her energy and delivery is always so encouraging and upbeat. You never feel like you’re in a hard core “Boot Camp” but you can put in 110 percent if you want to make it your own personal challenge. And almost equally important is the way she ends with a mindful and thoughtful passage, quote or words of encouragement that we can take into our daily lives until we meet with her again. Becky’s classes always started my day on the right foot!"
Lee Lee- Waterbury Center, VT
"Exercise has always been an add-on instead of a must-do for me, but Becky's upbeat personality, positive encouragement, and realistic approach to making fitness 'fit' into my life has made all the difference. A seasoned pro, Becky customized a plan just for me that helps me to meet fitness goals, set new ones and fully integrate exercise into my daily schedule. She keeps it fun and interesting. I'm reaping the benefits in all areas of my life as I feel better and grow stronger."
Susan O. Waterbury Center
"It goes without saying that Becky's classes offer an excellent workout. What sets them apart from all of the other classes out there is her approach to fitness. Becky offers a balanced blend of motivation and empathy; self-care and self-reflection; passion and persistence. I leave feeling healthier in mind and body every time."
Tamatha Haase, CA
"I love this one hour interval (core/weight/aerobic) workout class because of the way it makes me feel, body and mind. It can be as intense as I want it to be, or I can move at my own pace. It’s an intimate, smaller class where one can get personal guidance from Becky, the very competent, kind, and funny instructor, and also feel motivated by the other participants of the class. That 1 hour, for me, keeps my brain, body, and soul centered. I am stronger, healthier, and much happier because of Becky and the class."

"I was ecstatic when I saw a ‘Beginners Pilates’ class! This was perfect!!! However, I was reluctant to sign up – ‘will I hurt my back worse’, ‘will I be the only one in class that has no idea what I’m doing’, ‘will my work get in the way of being able to make every class of the session’… When I saw that Becky Widschwenter was teaching the class my fear of not knowing what I was doing or doing something incorrectly subsided. I have participated in a number of Becky’s strength training classes while working in the Waterbury Area. Becky’s welcoming attitude and detailed instruction allows you to participate safely, and simultaneously motivating you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. I have attended four consecutive sessions of Becky’s Pilates class and have signed up for a fifth! I LOVE the class! Becky challenges us while keeping smiles on our faces throughout class. She also does a great job of incorporating a variety of exercises, so no class is ever the same. The biggest benefit I’ve seen from my commitment to the classes is the noticeable reduction in my back pain. I still have occasional pain, but it’s less frequent and less severe. My core feels stronger and I actually feel taller! I can’t wait to see how the effect of doing Pilates does for my broomball swing!!!! "
Anne Langevin- Williamstown, VT
"I've taken class from Becky for several years and greatly appreciate her knowledgeable and supportive approach. I always leave feeling stronger inside and out, and the experience is positive, fun, and educational. The combination of strength/cardio/stretching has also helped me to ward off (or recover from) injury and stay as active as possible."
