Why Train With Gina

Thirty years, thousands of bodies

In three decades I've worked with and guided thousands of women — no two bodies alike. That depth is what you feel in every session: not a routine, but someone reading your body in real time and adjusting for exactly what it needs that day.

Thousands of bodies — the work teaches you by hand; after all these years I read alignment by feel and adjust for exactly what's in front of me

30+ years, one-on-one — decades of full-time teaching and private practice

STOTT-trained — all apparatus and mat, including injuries & special populations, and STOTT PILATES training host facility

Deep anatomy — Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Anatomy Through Movement with Juilliard's Irene Dowd

Whole-person health — Holistic Health & Nutrition Coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), Reiki Master, and Iridology

Creator & author — of 5 to Thrive, the SOVA Six, SOVA within (the app plus humming-drone Hz soundscapes on YouTube), and the free GLOW Inner Circle for women; author of Eat Clean, Live Free: A Woman's Guide to Health, Beauty, and Youthful Energy and Pilates for Beginners: A Woman's Guide to Strength, Flexibility, and Balanced Posture

The Studio

A unique approach to fitness

No classes. No rushing. Just you, the work, and a room that meets your body where it is. Every session is built around you — how you move, what you need that day, and the goals you're working toward. Pilates, strength, and clean eating come together here, so the changes hold up in your life, not just on the mat.

You were never too much. You were just in the wrong rooms.

Come a little closer

For thirty years I've sat across from women in the studio, reminding them of the small things that keep us well. Now I get to do that with you — a few mornings a week, right here.

That's all this is: a minute of quiet company before the day gets loud. We'll get into all of it in time — moving and eating, breathing and resting, our moods, our energy, the bodies we live in. Nothing you ever have to keep up with. Nothing to get right.

A small, steady way to show up for yourself. I'd love to see you there.
