I’ve been doing callanetics on an off since the 1980’s now living in France i’m wondering
it there is somewhere in Burgundy that teaches. If not do you have to go to the states;

I have returned to Callanetics! Bought the DVD to replace old tape that was really quite worn from my two year practice back in the early nineties. Did my first hour last night and I have to say that my chronic early AM back stiffness was greatly alleviated. Don’t really know why I stopped back then because I was in the best shape ever; since have practiced yoga and Pilates. While both of those programs are excellent (and I am a beginner Pilatees student) I think Callanetics is the program for me. And I am delighted to find this site. Look forward to reading more comments.

I used to go to Callanetics classes, many years ago, when in Saudi arabia – it was taught by an american lady and was highly successful, but I don’t think there are any classes in Paphos, Cyprus, where I now live – does anyone have any information on this?

I was excited to see this web-site! I ordered my first Callanetics book in 1986 after seeing Callan on a morning talk show. I had good intentions, but never followed through with the exercises until a few years later when my husband was in Desert Storm and I wanted to get in shape quick for his home-coming. I was shocked at the results! I measured before beginning and saw immediate results! Years have passed since then and I fell off the exercise wagon and have recently decided to get back on. What I love about this program are the rapid results, energy, and the fact that the day after an exercise session your muscles are tight and still working! This program is not a walk in the park, the exercises take work, but you see immediate results. Thanks, and I can’t wait to hear your !

P.S. Does anyone know how and what Callan is doing now? I almost feel like she is an old friend.

I started today the Callanetics Count Down: 30 days to a beautiful body, Phase I. I followed the exercises the best I could and I suggest to anybody wanting to try, not just jump into it but really invest time studying the movements. I feel the stretch and the relaxation. As Callan suggest, I’m going to spend few days just getting to do the right positions and then I’ll start measuring and counting. We’ll see…I really want to improve my general health and, of course, get rid of several pounds.

I’ve been using callanetic for a while now and not only have my buttocks changed shape, from saggy cellulite to firmer, rounded orbs (where else would I share this!)? Plus my body is generally firmer all over – no more jiggling… However the other positives from this regime is that I have gained a level of stamina which always eluded me in the past, this is truely an achievement. So thank you very much.

Dee, no, it’s OK. I had that problem too, but it’s alleviated now (in my third week of doing it every other day). I think perhaps as your stomach gets stronger, it takes the strain out of your neck/head area.

I used to do Callanetics way back when. I thought I needed to pull out my video tape and try again to attempt to help my 71 year old butt look better. The video was off and on so I recently ordered the dvd of 10 years younger in ten hours. I just completed my 6th hour and already I can see that my body has better tone. I have done yoga, body flow, body pump but mostly don’t like to exercise at all. I think Callanetics is probably the most intense fitness workout and the best. Thank you. I wondered how Callan Pinckney looked after all these years. She is a year younger than I am. Colette
