“If you're in luck, you've met Sarah Beth Percival. In the 30+ years I've been practicing pilates, Sarah is hands down one of the best instructors I've had the good fortune to work with. I first met her when she was working solo in a small studio in Great Barrington, MA, and from the get-go I knew she understood how to work with me. When she expanded and built a large studio, nothing changed. She not only has a thorough and keen understanding of anatomy and an individual, but she is continually pushing herself to learn more.

She works with each person as a separate individual and creates a program tailored for your strengths and weaknesses, taking advantage of the strengths to build on the weaker areas.

During quarantine, we worked together across the country via zoom and never missed a beat. She is a talented, creative, and wonderful person as well as a teacher. Do yourself a favor and take a session. You won't regret it.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Sarah Beth at Percival Pilates in Great Barrington.  Sarah took this sorry body and worked on strengthening my muscles and increasing my flexibility.  My running improved with fewer injuries.  There was also an improvement in my mobility moving around the house and garden. Sarah has an amazing knowledge of physiology and its application to movement. I miss her sessions as well as her company.”

”Sarah Beth Percival is Pilates Teacher par excellence and much more. She is a healer. Trained at a prestigious school in New York, Sarah can confidently customize  Pilates based movements to an individual’s needs. I was weeks away from spine surgery when good fortune introduced me to her. By then, I had several steroid shots, worked with hospital PT professionals, all with good intentions , but without any significant results. I could not walk without pain that caused me to pause every 10 -20 steps. After about 6-8 sessions with Sarah, the pain began to subside. And soon after that, I stopped taking any prescribed medication. I actually returned to golf after two months. Lucky? perhaps. At least in my case, luck for me was Sarah Beth.”

”For the past five years, I have had the immense pleasure and joy of taking Pilates lessons with Sarah Percival. For me, the incredibly positive experience of taking regular sessions with a teacher as deeply-experienced, thoughtful, and dedicated as Sarah has been both a real joy and a physically transformative journey for me. Simply put, I’m now stronger, more flexible, and move more freely and comfortably in my everyday life thanks to Sarah’s devoted and keenly-observant instruction. I think that bringing her own considerable experience as a dancer to the Pilates tradition has given her unique insights into her students’ physical challenges...and physical potential. Having studied over the years with other excellent Pilates teachers, I say with gratitude and appreciation that Sarah is the best of the best.”
