| "I came to Andrea and Pilates about two years ago. On that first day, I said that in addition to core strength and overall flexibility, I wanted to improve my posture. I'm impressed by Andrea's determination to stay true to this goal. Believe me, those exercises designed to improve posture are not comfortable, and I moan and groan. But that woman, Andrea, keeps pushing me, and I believe I have definitely improved my posture, my core strength, and my lower back strength. I try to wear loose shirts and pants so she can't see how hard my muscles are working (trying to cheat). But she still sees with X-ray vision. She is also acutely aware of when I try to sneak a look at my watch to see how much time I have left. And when she says those blessed words, "and we are finished for today." and I'm tired, I know I worked hard and the experience was fruitful. Pilates works so much of the body, and Andrea can definitely customize a program for one's particular goals. I've stuck with this Pilates program because it truly is the only time I give to MYSELF. I love Andrea's company, and we share stories about the theatre, husbands, food, ...anything. I definitely will keep Pilates in my busy schedule. It's worth it!" -- Terri, 55 |

| "I've been doing pilates on and off for 5 years now and Andrea is the best instructor I've ever had. Her depth of knowledge of pilates and the body continues to increase and enhance my execution of the exercises. Just when I think I've mastered an exercise she challenges me with another aspect of the principles that Joseph Pilates started. Working with Andrea has increased my flexibility, core strength, muscle tone, and general feeling of well being. She's truly the best!" -- Gail, 51, Mom/Engineer |

| "I had been doing Pilates in various disciplines for 3+ years before moving to San Diego. Earlier this year I discovered “True Pilates”, instructors certified under Romana Kryzanowska, protege of Joseph Pilates. In searching for an instructor I came upon Andrea through several referrals. I wasn’t sure I was going to be “down” with making a drive several times a week up to Solana Beach from my home in North Park but I now make the trip 2-3 times a week. Andrea is terrific. She mixes a blend of being extremely friendly and fun to be with while also getting us “down to business” and no wasted time as well as nudging me each time to do things a little better and more true. I am particularly enjoying the progress we have started seeing in my routines and “transitions” on the Reformer and really enjoy my growth in Pilates. The exceptional thing about Andrea and Pilates for me is the stress relief and also stretching but even more important the growth in my core strength and balance. Finally, one of the ‘true delights’ to my Pilates classes with Andrea is how welcome she, and other instructors and students make my small dog, Heidi, feel. We tend to travel everywhere together and Heidi has grown to love “supervising” and working on her core as much as I do. (She is a 13# miniature Dachshund!)" -- Neal, 51, Technical Staffing Business Owner |
