"I called her studio years ago and we talked for two hours, pilates, health, nutrition, busy schedules. That night she became my friend and mentor. She has a genuine interest in each person's progress. I've lost weight, gained energy, and I'm so impressed by her dedication and her love for her clients."

"Gina is a blessing, open, kind, generous, talented. She helped me rebuild strength after being bed-bound from an accident. She approaches healing with the whole body in mind, and there's no one-size-fits-all. I feel stronger, my joints are happier, my posture is better."

"I am so happy with my darling friend Gina! She has been guiding me for years and my body keeps improving, now even faster with Cellular Regeneration. No more body aches, losing weight, and feeling amazing. Thank you, Gina, you are the best!"

Rosie Navarrete

"I absolutely love working with Gina! We met two years ago when I came to her with a very specific need: finding an instructor who could understand and work with my individual body needs. Gina did exactly that. She customized our workouts to address my specific ‘pain’ areas and is always thoughtful about advising me on posture and proper alignment outside of our sessions as well. Her knowledge of nutrition has also been incredibly helpful in finding the right balance between diet and exercise. Gina is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in helping her clients feel their best. I'm so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her!"

Alexandra Berman

"Gina has been a life-changer for me. I'm now pain-free and 20 pounds lighter in just six months. Her expertise in Pilates and post-menopausal nutrition made a tremendous difference, I no longer feel tired after meals or at the end of the day."

Angelica Ruvello

"I met Gina ten months ago and she has been a constant healing presence in my life ever since. She helped me heal both physically and emotionally from two bulging discs in my neck, releasing tension through movement, stretching, and Yamuna body rolling. She's insightful, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and she'll guide you wherever you need to go on your journey."

Erika Roed

"I started at GLOW a year ago with so many joint issues from my RA. Gina watches over my needs to make sure my Pilates experience is a great one. She's a wonderful instructor, a good listener, and a friend now. I have so much more flexibility and strength since going."

Rena Frankle
