Sandy Endo Pilates Instructor

Sandy Endo is the BEST! I have taken many Pilates classes, and studied with several different personal instructors, but Sandy’s expert guidance and support gave me the home program I needed to maintain my fitness for dance and a variety of sports. I’m very active, athletic and interested in being as fit as possible. Sandy emailed me my home program, added modifications, and sent links for various rollers and balls. I’m a yoga teacher as well, and I found her knowledge of the body and muscle systems to be very complete. She also attends ongoing education courses which make her information up-​to-​date and in touch with the latest thinking on a variety of different issues to address symptoms, pain, and healing of sports and repetitive injuries.
If you are thinking of working one on one with a Pilates instructor, Sandy is great!

I should have posted this months ago. Going to Sandy has made an incredible difference in my life and although she is the only Pilates personal trainer I have been to, I can say with certainty that she is an excellent and very effective instructor.
I have been very athletic throughout my life playing many different sports, and have maintained a basic level of fitness. After having two kids I realized I my fitness was not even at the basic level anymore, and my posture had been deteriorating over the years. Although I was exercising some on my own it felt as if my core was never going to be the same again.
About two years ago I started going to Sandy just a couple of times a month and noticed some changes immediately. I was able to begin to find my core muscles again, she gave me exercises which began to improve my posture, and pointed out the ways in which my body had physically become out of balance. She helped me fix many areas of my body where I had overcompensated with some muscles and underused others. I am now attending a session once a week and am still making improvements.
People in my life began to remark almost immediately about the subtle improvements in my posture. I also recently attended a conference where I ran into many people who I had not seen in about a year, and more than half a dozen of them remarked about «how relaxed» I looked. At one point I started asking people why they thought this and they really could not articulate it other than I just looked like a healthier and happier person (and I was always generally described as happy before). I have recently reduced some stress in my life and lost about 5 lbs, however I attribute many of these comments to Sandy’s training and how Pilates has helped me reshape my body and improve my stature.
My weekend warrior sports have also improved dramatically now that I am stronger and more in-​balance, and I believe that now in my 40’s this has significantly helped me avoid injuries. I really can’t recommend Sandy enough to anyone who is looking to make lasting changes to their body.

Best Pilates Instructor. She is caring, giving and she understands the body.
She is very professional. I Highly recommend her, she is great for professional dancers.

I found Sandy when I had such debilitating core muscle pains that I was exceptionally limited in what I could do. Sandy Endo fixed me, literally.
She is an exceptional trainer, really digging in and understanding what you need, can do, and where you want to go. She is also an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to each session with her, and come out feeling 100% better each time. Sometimes that includes sweat on my brow, sometimes it’s stretched out muscles, but each time my body says, «that was exactly what I needed.»
Sandy was the only one to take time and attention to my specific tummy issues, and to work all the different parts to get me back on track so I can now do just about any type of exercise I want. I don’t think the credit goes to pilates: I think it goes to Sandy and her expertise. Can’t recommend her more highly.

Sandy is a knowledgeable, encouraging, and empathetic instructor. We have been working together for three years. My goals were to improve core strength and balance to help me age gracefully. We quickly delved deeper to address a life-​long weakness in my hip and the issues that come with being flat-​footed. Sandy introduced stretches and exercises to realign my body and strengthen the muscles that should do the work. It was a happy, happy day the first time I could actually straighten my legs in the air, and the range of motion I have now when I flex and point my feet is remarkable. I feel strong and tall and flexible, thanks to Sandy!

Not all Pilates instructors are created equal — I started working with Sandy about six months ago, and she is without doubt the best instructor I have ever had. Not only am I seeing real results, but I am having a lot of fun.
Sandy is very focused on learning your goals and helping you work towards them. I wanted to lose weight and get stronger. She has been very helpful in both areas: I’ve lost the weight and am developing a lot of muscle tone. My core is much stronger than it has ever been, and I can actually imagine having a firm stomach in the near future.
Sandy’s private sessions are always well planned so that no two sessions are the same. There is never any boredom — just a lot of challenging fun.

I have been working out with Sandy for the past 2 years. She is GREAT! She helps me focus on exercises that build my strength. She is fun and encouraging.
