The Body Reflex Fitness & Wellness

I have worked privately with Maria for a few years and enjoy not only the results but how she teaches body mechanics. Recently, in addition to Maria, I have been working with Steve, in her studio, for pilates and pro stretch sessions, and let me just say "game changer". I love the different techniques they both bring to the sessions. And as far as Steve's stretching... it "hurts so good". I do the 50 min sessions for a full body work up and I will say it's better than a massage. There really is nothing like someone else stretching you - this morning for the first time in a year, my back - which is uncomfortably tight - didn't hurt when getting out of bed and MOST importantly, when putting on my pants.
Working with people who truly understand the anatomy is a blessing - thank you both! Maybe now my golf game will improve but let's not go crazy, they can only do so much in the miracle department :)

I’ve attended Maria’s mat-based and reformer Pilates classes for the past year which have been amazing. Recently I added a Personal Training session with weights to my repertoire to help me lower my cholesterol. This has helped me drop 70 points in my cholesterol over the past 2 months! In addition, my clothes fit so much better and I feel much stronger. Maria tailors her sessions to my needs and specific goals and is a joy to spend time with. She knows how to push me without ever jeopardizing my health. She has truly been a Godsend. I HIGHLY recommend working with her to achieve your fitness goals.

Maria is an amazing instructor! She is so knowledgeable about all aspects of Pilates, movement and general well-being. I look forward to every class and notice improvements in myself every week. It is my happy place and respite while doing something good for my mind and body! Finding Body Reflex Fitness & Wellness has been a God-send in this crazy year!

Maria Losito, owner and instructor at “The Body Reflex” is an excellent teacher of Pilates. Each class I learn something new or get challenged with a new concept in a completely safe and accepting environment. I have learned so much about my body and how to move it. I know my Pilates practice with Maria gave me the strength and body awareness to experience positive outcomes from two shoulder replacements. Maria always finds Pilates exercises that I CAN do! She is one of a kind: always encouraging, funny and gently pushes me forward. I feel safe in Maria’s classes and feel like I am exercising with a supportive friend.
Thank you, Maria for your encouragement and being an amazing and talented instructor.

I have been a member of a couple of different gyms over time, plus I have one in my building I never go to (I have never been a lover of the gym or working out in general) but I do love this one! I did some research when trying to find the right place to go when I moved to Stamford, and Maria makes going to the gym actually fun (plus I love her - we have a blast every session!) I enjoy going and I now I am trying to take as many classes as I can - she has different ones scattered throughout the week which is great. Whether you are with Maria, or one of the other instructors, they take the time to make sure your form is right, and that you are actually doing the exercise correctly - which I feel like at the few other places I've been to, I was doing it wrong and no one was even looking to check.
I’ve never been more motivated to go to the gym and I make sure I have my appointments in the books to go.
Plus - Denise who does cupping and massage there, is heaven! You don't want to miss that! I urge you to check it out!

The Body Reflex is more than an exercise studio. It’s a place to work on a healthy body and mind. I have been practicing Pilates with Maria for a few years, and the physical change in my(post menopausal 50+)body and the way it has made me feel about myself are so rewarding.
I have a physically taxing job, and Maria, with her extensive knowledge of the body and additional courses of study, has been able to help me through muscle and ligament discomfort.
She is generous and caring instructor. And she’s always excited for my next session and what she has planned for me! Group sessions are fun and challenging, and it’s always a great group of women who are supportive of and welcoming to each other 💙
During COVID Maria has kept us connected and practicing through zoom sessions or Pilates in the park when weather has allowed. What a gift that has been to all of us during this trying time! And when we could,we safely resumed private sessions in the studio.
If you want to do something special for yourself,The Body Reflex and Maria are the way to go!

Body Reflex is a breath of fresh air. I never enjoyed the idea of getting fit but Maria somehow makes it worthwhile and fun. I “look forward” to my Pilates and cardio classes and that has never happened before. What’s amazing is if I don’t make a class, I really miss it. I see the results of my efforts and I am extremely grateful. I think I’m going to spread my wings and try a barre class next!!

We can't say enough about Maria and Body Reflex & Wellness. We have been training with Maria for three years and through several orthopaedic issues. She has safely adapted our training after injuries, increased strength and conditioning before knee replacement surgery and worked in coordination with our PT to ensure appropriate post-surgery protocol.

When COVID hit in March she quickly adapted to provide home workouts via ZOOM and when restrictions were modified we were able to safely return to her private studio. Masks, temperatures, and meticulous cleaning of all surfaces and equipment ensure our safety and comfort during our sessions.

Before our long road trip to visit our grandchildren this summer, she created a "rest-stop stretching" routine for us!

Maria cares about her clients, knows their limitations and creates an environment that is enjoyable, safe and challenging.

I have taken Pilates with Maria for over a year and she has always given me cues on how to improve each exercise. As a result, I have strengthened my core muscles and improved my balance. Just what I wanted!

If you want a trainer and/or Pilates instructor who really cares about you and your individual needs and who is extremely knowledgeable about how the human body works, Maria is for you. She makes working out fun and enjoyable and you will look forward to each and every session!

I look forward to Maria's Pilates classes. She really explains what you should be feeling and how you should be doing the Pilates. I feel energized and confident after her class. Thank you Maria... Love, Love. Love... The Body Reflex Fitness & Wellness.

I was given a birthday gift of 3 sessions well over a year ago. I didn't know much about pilates but quickly learned. In a years time, my body shape has changed for the better and even more importantly, my golf game has improved dramatically. Since 2019 golf season to this past season, I've dropped 15 shots from my game. My index went down too. Thank you Maria!!
