TESTIMONIALS
I have been lucky enough to teach Pilates four times for Crystal Cruises and my husband and I had the time of our lives. To teach such wonderful people in such an incredible setting is truly a gift. Getting to do what I love and travel in luxury to the most beautiful places in the world...what more could I ask for? I can’t wait to cruise again!
-Amy Zasadny, Los Angeles, CA
I have had the opportunity to travel with Crystal Cruise as a guest pilates instructor since 2011. It has been the most amazing travel experience of my life. My career has always been in fitness and bringing my talents and experience onboard has been such a treat. I’ve had passengers who had never tried pilates become enthusiasts and I’ve had passengers who already knew the benefits of pilates enjoy their workouts while on vacation. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see beautiful parts of the world while helping people maintain or improve their health.

"In the past 8 years of teaching for Mind Body at Sea I have been around the world and visited over 50 countries. I have had the opportunity to travel and see parts of the world that I never imagined I would be able to. I’ve met so many wonderful people and have memories and experiences that I’ll never forget."
-Grace Wang
"I have known Tammy Gibson for quite some time through teaching yoga in a class she attends. She is beautiful and has always been very friendly and kind. Her practice of yoga is impressive. Tammy presented me with an opportunity to teach yoga on Crystal Cruises. It was a difficult decision as I had to release my classes and I had not dealt with Tammy on a professional basis. First, I am pleased to say it was the right decision for me as I have enjoyed teaching yoga on the fabulous Crystal Serenity. Secondly, working with Tammy through the process on numerous details required was pleasant, efficient, and professional. It is obvious Tammy is aware of the whole process and is respected by and well connected with Crystal Cruise Line. Thank you Tammy for giving me this incredible experience. I now truly have been 'Crystallized.'"
-Corrine Cutler-Welke
"Teaching for Crystal Cruises was a dream. With state of the art equipment and an inspiring setting to practice Pilates & movement, it was a joy to teach passengers. By the end of the cruise, everyone felt healthier and got to know each other. Not only did we challenge our bodies but shared a lot of laughs!"
-Lora Anderson
“I had the privilege and honor of being the 2011 World Cruise Pilates instructor and my experience was nothing short of amazing. Today I still pinch myself and can’t believe I was actually given the opportunity to cruise the world while doing something I love. Everything about the ship and the cruising experience is sublime; the food, the entertainment, the ports of call, and the friends you meet along the way. However, the most special part is being able to share this experience with a guest of your choice. I am so grateful to have been able to share my cruising experiences with my friends and family members. Working with Tammy is an absolute delight. I am forever grateful to her for presenting me with this opportunity and so proud to see how much the Pilates at sea program has grown. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Crystal, Tammy and the Pilates at Sea program and would recommend it for any fabulous instructor with an adventurous spirit!”
-Elise Ivy
“Tammy has put together an extraordinary program for both the community of elite Pilates instructors, as well as the exclusive clientele of Crystal Cruises. Teaching Pilates reformer classes to the enthusiastic and appreciative clients while cruising through Europe was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s the perfect combination of working and making some extra money, while seeing the world and enjoying a relaxing vacation. Crystal Cruises is a luxury experience even for the guest instructors, and I can’t wait to go back on board in the future!
-Kevin Sateri
“Teaching Pilates aboard Crystal Cruises has been a truly rewarding experience. It is amazing to observe students time and again surprise themselves with what they are able to achieve in their personal practice during their time sailing. What often begins as an open mind to try something new and a little intimidating, becomes a life-long joy and commitment."
-Natalie Ross
“I’ve been on many cruiselines over the years for family vacations, but our experience on Crystal was by far the best cruising experience I’ve ever had. Delicious food and dining, calm yet fun atmosphere, luxurious rooms, wonderful ports and incredibly attentive crew. We love cruising Crystal and it’s an honor to be a part of the amazing MindBody at Sea program. I get the opportunity to bring my expertise and gifts to make everyone else’s cruise experience a little better, in addition to having the honor of teaching people from around the world!”
-Tiffany Helland
"It is always a pleasure to work on the Symphony/Serenity Crystal Cruise line. I am always treated well by the Staff and Crew and enjoy the guests who take my classes. Having fun and inspiring others about Pilates has always been important to me. Traveling on the Crystal Cruise has only enhanced that experience. Starting with Tammy Gibson at Mind Body at Sea, makes a smooth and seamless way to work and travel. I love my work and what a wonderful way to meeting amazing people and travel the world in a most comfortable environment! Thank you Tammy for this experience!"
