Abel Wellness 77 Wilkie Street, Franklin, NC 28734

"My name is Gail Osborne and I have been a client of Abel Wellness for thirteen years, attending classes two or three times per week. Thanks to Patti and Donnie, I am the exact same weight and height that I was when I started. I am 80 years old and am in excellent health. I take no medications and have all my original parts. My strength and flexibility allows me to maintain my house and 2 and ½ acres of land with no outside assistance. I credit Patti and Donnie with all of the above. Not only are they wonderful teachers, they are wonderful people. I consider them to be my friends. When my husband became ill and subsequently passed away, I came to depend on them for support. They were always encouraging and my Pilate classes became my haven for physical and mental health. This is not a place where you go for a few classes and then quit, the encouragement they give you and skills that they teach, keep you coming back. If you are looking to increase flexibility and strength and have your whole wellbeing cared for, you could not do better than Patti and Donnie at Abel Wellness."

"I cannot say enough about Abel Wellness and how much Patti and Donnie have helped me. First of all, Monday is my favorite day because that is Pilates day! My Pilates experience with them the last several years has centered me, in body and mind. I am stronger, longer(haha), leaner and stay aligned. I used to have back pain. Now with a strong core, I can do pretty much what I want to do at age 60 and enjoy my life fully. If I overdo it, they fix me!! They are so very intentional and informed in their instruction and that has helped me to become more aware of my own body and listen to it. Thank you for all the years and I look forward to many more!!"

"Awesome instructors."

"I have participated in Reformer Pilates classes with both Patti and Donnie. They are both very knowledgeable. Keeping the classes small allows them to give individualized attention where needed to assure correct form while performing the exercises. I’ve also done private Pilates and Restorative Movement classes with Patti. All have been very positive experiences for me."
