Private Pilates sessions focus on strengthening the core and increasing the length and tone of musculature. They employ the use of body weight to improve core strength, symmetry, alignment, and overall muscular conditioning. Christina Gloger is a full-spectrum fitness maven. Her knowledge of the body comes through intense study, numerous certifications, and, most importantly, over a decade of successful practice and instruction. She began her career in dance, studying at the Martha Graham School for Contemporary Dance in New York City, before her introduction to Pilates in 1996.
As a Pilates instructor, Christina holds the gold standard of expertise: in 2001 she was personally certified by Romana Kryzanoska—one of the few remaining disciples of Joseph Pilates himself. Since then she has been teaching Pilates in studios, private residences, and fitness clubs both national and international. While Christina has over a decade of experience teaching group classes, her profound knowledge of physiology and anatomy has enabled her to successfully teach a diverse clientele, adjusting her program to accommodate virtually anyone—including athletes, pregnant women, children, and even post-operation patients. Christina’s program is tailored to the individual to ensure results.
Starting in 2005, Christina began training clients at Sports Club LA in Rockefeller Center and was soon promoted to Advantage Trainer and then Master Trainer in Pre/Post Natal Exercise as well as Master Trainer for Breathing, before being nominated Trainer of the Year in 2007. She remained on staff at SCLA as a top trainer before taking her practice to Velocity Sports Performance in 2011.
Christina is certified in the following:
In addition to her voluminous resume, Christina has made professional appearances in Glamour Magazine, Page Six Magazine, as well as on Channel 7 news, numerous DVDs (including the Classical Pilates Studio Equipment series), as well as several infomercials.
