ENERGY! it doesn't matter how you feel... happy, great, tired or down... you will always get energy from her classes!
INSPIRATION! it's great to dance with somebody like Courtney . it's beautiful to see her dance, because she IS the dance, and that makes me wanna dance even more!
Beside this, Gypsy/ Courtney is not just a teacher, she is a great teacher!
Because she is not only trying to teach you something, she is loving and caring towards her students.
Her classes are fun and makes you believe you can do more than you could think of.

" I had Pilates classes with Courtney for almost a year. Her classes were always fun to go to, she has a lot of knowledge, personal attention and off course her bubbly personality! The Pilates classes made me feel stronger, gave me a better posture and made me feel more fit."

I really enjoyed your classes, you allowed enough flexibility in the class to suite students of all levels, most importantly you added the " Courtney " magic to the class, which makes the environment comfortable, energetic and full of your love and attention. So I am certainly looking forward to when you back in Amsterdam, so we can carry on with those deep Saturday Yoga sessions. A class with you is never boring or mediocre.

A yoga lesson by Courtney is like a very nice wake-up call. After a lesson I'm looking more intense to myself and the world. Every time she challenges you in a different way because each class she has a different approach. That's what keeps the lessons sparkling and very inspiring.

I have been following Courtney 's Vinyasa Power Yoga classes for some months, and think she is an excellent trainer and teacher. Untill 3 years ago I was a very well trained athlete (Muay Thai/ Kickboxing). When a quit kickboxing, I have been practising some yoga, started swimming, running etc. One year ago we got a beautiful daughter, and a quit all sports. After a couple of months doing nothing I found it really difficult to start training again. I dragged myself to this yoga class (closest to my house!)....and started attending every week Courtney 's class. Within the first weeks I started to feel much stronger and also picked up running again. I think the way Coutney teached this specific class - it is yoga, complete with some spiritual adds - but more demanding on the physical part - is quite unique. I am a fan!

I was lucky enough to attend Gypsy's yoga classes in the Garden Gym in Amsterdam. I can honestly tell that she has greatly inspired me both as a person and as a yoga teacher. Gypsy has a sparkling personality and is a joy to be around. Her Kundalini yoga classes gave me a great love for Kundalini yoga which I am now practicing daily. I still think about her every morning when I am singing the mantra's that she taught me. I can totally recommend her classes as well as her tennisball massage workshop, which I also attended.

Gypsy's full of great positive energy and inspiration - her Pilates classes were one of a kind (and I have tried a few here in Amsterdam). She gives amazing attention to detail in a caring and uncomplicated way throughout each session, and at the end of each class I would feel really fantastic - energized yet relaxed, happy, peaceful, calm and ready to face the world outside the class!! I also had some 'one on one' sessions, which were equally fabulous too. I look forward to more of the same this year.

Lots love, Karina

I really enjoyed your classes. You are probably one of the most challenging Pilates teachers in Amsterdam, which is a good thing! You give clear instruction which makes you a great teacher and you help us understand how to use our bodies in order to build on our strength and develop our muscles.

As soon as you enter the class of Courtney you forget all your daily routine because of her very special bright and optimistic mood. Her class has a very natural flow and rhythm. She pays very good attention to every one in the class and gives corrections if necessary. I am looking forward seeing her again in Amsterdam.

Courtney 's lessons are great! She's so so nice and always happy, may you come in being grouchy for some reason, you'll be happy in 5 minutes! That's also why the lessons are so nice, it makes them much more fun! It's a pity when time is up and you have to wait a whole week for the next one.

Love, Fleur

I was only able to attend your yoga class twice and a tennis-ball-workshop once, but I can honestly say, that you I find your classes absolutely amazing. The way you teach and explain yoga poses and it's benefits really makes it easy (although some poses are tough) and maybe more importantly, a lot of fun! I have never felt more comfortable, happy and motivated doing difficult poses.

Esther, Amsterdam

I really loved your class of modern dance. It's hard to find a teacher with whom you connect. I think each teacher creates their special universe during a class, and I really felt comfortable in
your dancing universe! I was able to free my mind during one and a half hour and only concentrate on movement. I found all the choreography really beautiful, from the very simple exercise to the final choreography. I hope you will come back to Amsterdam.

Joana

I didn't have much experience in dancing so it took some courage for me to start with modern dance lesson. I found Courtney 's lesson very inspiring, especially for people who are open and curious for a different experience. She is energetic and cheerful, inviting everybody to explore each one's own body expression. I am really glad about the progression during the course, and the enthusiasm I developed to continue dancing! “

Before I started with Pilates I had a lot of problems and pain in my back and I was not able to do any kind of sports without pain. Now I really feel a big difference in the way I move, hold my body and especially how I feel my body. I think that Courtney knows a lot about bodies and that she understands how to motivate people to give the best they can without doing harm to their bodies. The best thing I learned from Courtney was to listen to my body, respect and love it, to work gently with it and move in harmony.
I really enjoyed your classes, Courtney, because they were full of energy and joy. Thank you for everything!

I really enjoyed pilates lessons with Courtney, because she teaches in a very original, personal way. She can make anything doable by explaining it in a way that awakens your imagination, so that it feels like playing. Her classes have a very friendly and warm atmosphere, so that it's more than exercise alone. It really made me feel relaxed and happy , and at the same time I learned a lot that I'll take it with me, thanks, Courtney!

CRUNCH is the best gym in Los Angeles and is known to offer only the best classes & instructors.
Gypsy definately reflects that! Gypsy is an awesome and amazing Instructor.
She is loving, encouraging, talented and her strength and sexiness is contageous!!

I've been taking pole dancing classes with Courtney at Crunch Gym, Los
Angeles, for almost a year and it was super-fun!!! And a great workout too
-- all my muscles ached afterwards, including even those i had no idea i
have. Courtney is an amazing teacher: if she could make such an inherently
dangerous gravity-defying experience as pole dancing safe even for a
uber-clutz like me, she is beyond comparison. Dance on, dear Gypsy!!!

After doing Average Joe on NBC, I was looking for a great way to stay in shape and have fun. There were so many classes to choose from at Crunch but many of the teachers would make me feel awkward because I didn't have the dance experience they did. I decided to try pole dancing taught by Gypsy. And ever since the first class...I was addicted!!! Gypsy has a great way of making everyone feel welcomed. I have never been in such a sexy class where there are women of all ages! The way she taught class made everyone feel welcomed and sexy. I have been pole dancing now over a year and I am saddened that Gypsy is no longer here to teach. She was extremely talented and made the class so much fun! She was also very sweet and made sure she made a friendship with everyone who came to class. Gypsy will definitely be an exceptional add anywhere she goes!!!

I had the pleasure of having Courtney as my pole-dancing instructor for
almost a year at Crunch Fitness in Los Angeles. I started in her class from
its very inception. I had had some knowledge of pole dancing, but was very
intimidated by the dancing aspect of the class. Courtney's personality, her
sincerity, her enthusiasm, and her joy in her dance and in seeing her
students dance was immediate. She was able to help me feel comfortable
dancing right away. She taught me a confidence and security to ignore all
the weight lifters that often watched us dance! While she did teach me to
dance with inner beauty, she did a fantastic job of helping us all actually
dance and pole dance. Courtney taught us a variety of techniques,
combinations, warm-ups, and choreographies. Her classes were always flexible and progressing. Courtney instructed a variety of students at different levels of dance and experience and given the fitness class environment,
continuously had both advanced and new students in her class. She was able to combine her new and advanced students in simple and effective ways. I always looked forward to class. Pole dancing is a beautiful art form which I
plan to continue - going so far as to buy a pole for my house. Ultimately,
however, it was Courtney who inspired me to attend class and I will miss her
greatly
