"Geneviève has changed my life. When I first met her, I had suffered from chronic back pain for over 20 years, and had tried numerous therapies and rehab options but still required regular chiropractic adjustments to allow me to function. I was very unenthusiastic with the idea of Pilates -- I expected that it would be just another method to try that would probably not succeed in freeing me from my pain. But how wrong I was! By the end of the first couple of sessions, I no longer needed any chiropractics, and now, ten years later, have never been back.

I worked weekly with Geneviève for about seven years, and lost weight, greatly increased my strength and flexibility, toned my body, and learned to understand my body and health in ways that I could not have previously understood. Although I have moved a couple of thousand miles away, I still try to get together with her whenever I am in the vicinity, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who has pain or health issues, and to anyone who would prefer to maintain or improve the condition and abilities of their body as they age.

Although I have worked with other Pilates instructors and studios over the years, none -- NONE - begins to compare with Geneviève and her own, personally developed approach.

A rare spirit: Celebrating Lynne Dusenberry

When Lynne Dusenberry began Pilates at Body Fundamentals in August 2004, neither of us realized that 20+ years later we’d still be practicing and laughing together every week. A disciplined, dedicated Pilates enthusiast, she continues her multiple Privates and semi-privates today, and in recent years, added Lifestyle Consulting and Meditation to her wellness and self-care practice.

Lynne and I bonded immediately over our love of dance, theatre, and the arts in general. In fact, while many fellow Tucsonans know her as one of the University of Arizona’s leading legal voices for over 3 decades, or as a dedicated community volunteer, not everyone knows just how extensive and impressive her service career has been.

For More on Lynne and our journey together

During my 18 years at Body Fundamentals, I have improved tremendously my strength, overall movement and toning of my body. Over the years I have endured numerous injuries and conditions. With the help and support of Genevieve, I always recovered by doing lots of rehabilitation work. With the 35 years of experience that Genevieve has and her vast knowledge and experience, I have always felt confident in her ability to customize my individual sessions. During times without injury, I continue to move forward and get stronger. I am very grateful that I have this incredible opportunity to work with such a great teacher!!

I have also been a lifestyle consulting client over the years. Genevieve has given me many tools and support on a nutritional, emotional, and stress management level. She always puts my needs and interests first. She has motivated me to eat better and meditate daily for my overall well-being and health. Genevieve is a very educated, passionate, and patient teacher. I will continue my sessions for as long as I can, as I see the overall benefits.

Celebrating 23-Year Pilates Client & Friend Carla Keegan

I’m thrilled to honor Carla Keegan, one of my first Tucson Pilates clients.

This past March 14th was Carla’s 23rd year as a Pilates client. Please join me in congratulating her. For nearly three decades, she’s been a steadfast Pilates student, both in privates and semi-private. Additionally, for 15+ years, Carla attended our Advanced Matwork class, mastering it with precision, strength, and grace. She’s also been generous with referrals and business support in general from the very beginning. But most importantly, she’s my dear friend.

When I’m asked about the women in my life who inspire me, Carla always comes to mind.

For More on Carla and our journey together

What a wonderful space, led by a fantastically supportive and intelligent woman! I have been taking Pilates with Genevieve for over 2 decades, and just recently have taken some meditation and nutrition classes at the Studio. Under the tutelage of Deepak Chopra, her father's Meditation/Tai Chi practices, and other professionals in mind/body modalities-- She has such a wealth of knowledge in body movement, nutrition, meditation, breathing techniques, and Ayurvedic practices. With all that knowledge and experience, you might think she'd be overbearing with clients' technique. But she's the most patient, supportive, flexible, and communicative teacher/professional presenter. I've watched her teach folks from all walks of life and all ages (fast-paced professionals to retirees to athletes) with the same attention to their body, mind, and soul, and the uniqueness within each of them.

If you are looking for a place in Tucson to reset, learn new habits, or maintain your practices-- look no further than Body Fundamentals.
