Kristin Anderson
Kristin Anderson is a high profile, celebrity Pilates teacher and Longevity coach, out of Los Angeles, CA. She is also co-founder of Engine Fitness and co-creator of the Pilates Wheel & Pilates Wheel Digital.
Kristin approaches many aspects of her life from this view and especially her teaching and training. Not only does this kind of variety yield better results with less injuries, but it also prevents boredom and the plateaus that can accompany such a feeling.
Kristin’s athletic background is competitive figure skating. Figure skating is made up of a lot of variables to navigate. It was necessary to focus on multiple sports and many aspects of fitness and training each week, including nutrition, psychology, and recovery to make the overall progress, in the time needed, that was necessary to compete on a high level. She could easily see the ways in which this made bigger goals more attainable. It turned out to be a priceless take-a-way too.
After decades of experience, and with as many years as variety of clientele, her favorite part of teaching or training is when a person realizes that it is truly them, (he, she, they) that is making the magic happen! That they are the person in charge of doing the actual work, and therefore they are the true gatekeeper. Self-sufficient and free to always succeed and feel good!
