Alessandra’s journey began in 2014 after she injured herself at the gym. After months of physical therapy, she continued to deal with a large amount of discomfort. Even getting in and out of the car was a feat. She tried everything for the pain: acupuncture, massage therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, and water therapy, but nothing seemed to work long-term, and the pain was still present. Finally, a doctor recommended adding Pilates to her pain management plan, and the rest is history! For Alessandra, Pilates was the only physical activity she could do after the injury without pain. After practicing for three months, her core was stronger, she became more flexible, and her back no longer hurt. She could not believe the freedom and relief she felt from living again. A pain-free life was what made Alessandra seek professional training as a Pilates instructor. She is Power Pilates and PMA certified, with over 600 hours of comprehensive training to attest to it. She joined the Club Pilates family in 2022 as the lead instructor for our Marlton studio and, in 2025, completed all requirements for the CP Master Training Team.
