I feel the need to whip my weak little core muscles into shape but am having a hard time with self discipline and exercising on my own. I've had luck sticking to exercise programs in the past when I've been able to join a class or take structured lessons. Does anyone know of a local pilates studio or gym in San Mateo where the instructors are knowledgeable and motivating? The ideal situation is someone familiar with low back pain who focuses on strengthening and conditioning. Thanks!

I've actually not been there, but my neighbor swears by Purifying Pilates, on 25th Avenue. She said that the owner and her daughter are completely engaged with their clients. Private and small group classes make for focused sessions and of course results. I intend to check them out myself! In the meantime, here's the Webcard, along with my friend's rave review:

Thanks for the quick reply. That's the second positive recommendation I've heard about Purifying Pilates. Looks like I should give them a try. I really need to do something about this inactive phase I've fallen into and a group session could be just the thing I need. Maybe I'll see you down at the studio one day. I'll be the tall guy complaining about my weak back. You can't miss me :-)
