If you are trying to ascertain whether or not to pick Ana as your trainer, let me be clear: Ana's skill set and experience loudly forecasts a future where she will be amongst the most sought after trainers in Los Angeles.

She met me where I was at and took so much care to find exactly the right exercises to help me heal. I finally have hope that I will be able to gain strength and become as athletic as I once was. She has taught me how to move my body in a new way and it has been a profound experience. I can't recommend her enough. She's way more than a Pilates instructor, she's an intuitive healer.

In 1996, I was referred to Kathleen Carman by my chiropractor, who was treating me for full-body…read morepain. At the time, I had suffered from severe scoliosis for 24 years and a nine-segment fusion of my spine for 21 years. My pain levels had become unbearable. I immediately noticed the benefits of the Pilates exercises that Kathleen customized for my condition, and she developed a home program upon releasing me from her care. Twenty-three years later, there were structural, scoliosis-related changes in my body that started causing severe pain again. When my orthopedist referred me to a physical therapy facility, I decided to go back to Kathleen Carman because of the success we've had before. As in my previous experience with Kathleen, my pain levels after the first session were noticeably less pronounced. I have noticed improved flexibility, posture and balance. For my most recent issues, Kathleen did several things: (1) She addressed the changes in my body and developed new exercises; (2) she adjusted the techniques on some of the original exercises; and (3) she eliminated a few of the original exercises if they were no longer possible for me to perform and replaced them with exercises that had the same beneficial effects. Kathleen's changes to my Pilates program once again successfully addressed my pain issues. She customizes the exercise program to her client's needs in order to improve their quality of life and is not a one-size-fits-all Pilates teacher. I highly recommend her. Janet Kronenberg, age 60

Every time I walk by a window reflection or mirror, I cannot help but check out my derriere and it's all thanks to Terri's amazing one-on-one training. I found Terri by simply GOOGLING (thank you Mr. Google for finding me the best Pilates instructor out there) "pilates" in LA, after being rather unsatisfied with my previous private instructor (SUCKAGIA!). The second I saw Terri's INCREDIBLY affordable prices, I had to give her a call... My eyes seriously almost fell out of my head... The prices are THAT GOOD! When she picked up the phone, I knew she was going to help me achieve a better body than Giselle Bundchen - EAT YOUR HEART OUT Victoria's Secret! The first session I had with Terri, I could tell this was a match made in heaven. She is not only extremely down to earth and fun to chat with but she also truly wants to give you the best work out so you can achieve the ass... abs... glutes... arms... (you get the picture) that you're craving! So stop flipping through the pages of that Self, Fitness, Vogue... Maxim... (Common, what chick DOESN'T look at that magazine, lets be honest) Thinking "man, if only I could look like that..."! Terri can make your wishes REALITY! It would REALLY be a mistake NOT to call her. PS: In the past few weeks, I have gotten innumerable amounts of compliments on my toned body... Considering I basically act like a chicken with its head cut off when it comes to doing Pilates, Terri OBVIOUSLY knows what she is doing!

I have always been an active person - playing tennis & racquet ball during high school. Running & spinning throughout college but when I met Terri I had honestly abandoned my earlier active self and was quite out of shape. Terri helped me to get back into shape through Pilates. When I first met her I could hardly lift my head to do a sit up. Now I can do the 100 series with ease, the five series with ab strength to spare and have improved my core strength tremendously. Moreover, Terri has inspired me to train for a half marathon and overall revamp my well being & fitness routine. Terri is honestly the best trainer I have come across in my life & I promise I have had many! If you are looking for a non-judgmental & inspiring person to help sculpt you into the best shape possible then Terri is your girl! You will not be disappointed!

Amelia is AMAZING…read more When I quit my corporate job last year to follow my dreams (so LA), I ran into a huge wall after a couple months of non stop grinding and hustling. After a long time of sitting in an office and pretty hard core partying took its toll on my body and I felt really heavy and unhappy. Although I was finally doing work that was rewarding for me, I felt like it was time to glow up and get my body to the same place my head was it. This is when I found Amelia. After our initial consult on the phone, I was really excited to meet her. We decided on a once a week meet up routine. I ended up training with her for two months, and even though it was a short amount of time, I really saw a lot of improvements on my body. I saw my abs come back and my waist finally have a shape again. She gave me a lot of great exercises for me to do on my own and really took time to listen to me and work with me on all my problem areas. I had an ankle injury a couple years back that made my immobile for a couple of months and she helped me regain my flexibility in that ankle. Because of some financial issues on my end, I had to stop our sessions but I still do the exercises that she taught me to help me stay in shape. Amelia is not only so amazing as a fitness personal trainer but she is an amazing person as well. It was important to me to find someone I connect with because honestly, I was seeing Amelia and talking with her more regularly than some of my friends since we met every week. What I loved about our conversations was that it was more than just about fitness and health. We talked about current issues, cultural histories, gender issues, music, art, race, etc. Our conversations showed me that she was a very in tuned, critical but open minded, and compassionate person. I really appreciated having someone to process all the crazy things happening in the world with Amelia during our training sessions and always looked forward to our sessions. If you're looking for someone that can help you on all aspects of your life both physically and mentally, Amelia is the ONE.

Would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for more than just a trainer. Also, her studio is clean, beautifully lit and totally private outside of being attached to a hair salon/studio. It's a nice mix of indoor/outdoor (mostly shaded), which is a great use of the weather we always have.
