Hi! I’m Tamara, a Certified Pilates Instructor and founder of The Pilates Circuit in NYC. With 9+ years of experience, I specialize in results-driven, athletic Pilates to improve posture, core strength, and overall wellness. I built The Pilates Circuit from the ground up, starting as a solo instructor who simply wanted to train people in a smarter, more intentional way. What began as one private room and a vision quickly became a full-scale, high-performing training brand. I didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur, but when I saw how powerful private, progressive Pilates could be, I knew I had something worth building. Every stage of this business required me to think creatively, lead decisively, and protect the standard I believed in. For two years, I couldn’t hire a single instructor who met the bar I had set. That wasn’t a setback. It was a commitment. I knew the only way to create a truly effective training environment was to build a team that shared the same level of precision, care, and expertise. Today, that team is one of the strongest assets of the brand, and I’m proud to say it reflects years of intentional hiring, training, and leadership. Running a business in Manhattan requires resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of what people actually need when it comes to their bodies and their health. It also requires the willingness to rethink traditional models. After COVID, it became obvious that the industry was pushing group fitness harder than people truly wanted. Clients weren’t looking for noise or volume. They wanted attention, connection, and intelligent programming. Recognizing that shift guided some of the biggest decisions I made as a founder and positioned The Pilates Circuit as a leader in private Pilates training. Alongside running the business, I still coach a full roster of private clients each week. Staying on the floor keeps my perspective sharp and rooted in reality. It allows me to bridge movement science with practical, real-world application and ensures that everything we do at TPC is shaped by what actually works, not by trends. As a founder and instructor, I care about clarity, precision, and results. I believe people deserve training that aligns with their goals and empowers them to understand their bodies better. My work combines the mindset of a coach with the leadership of an entrepreneur, and I bring both to every conversation, every client, and every contribution I make as an expert.

I'm the founder and head coach of Siwicki Fitness, an online fitness platform delivering live virtual workout classes to women across the United States. Before launching Siwicki Fitness in 2020, I was a top 1% globally ranked group fitness instructor for Equinox, teaching at their flagship locations in DC, Bethesda, and Tyson's Corner. Siwicki Fitness was built around a simple idea. Women don't need another perfect program. They need one that fits around the life they already have. What sets us apart is the live virtual format. Instructors see members on camera, call them by name, and give real-time feedback. Members range from their 20s to their 70s and average 27 sessions in 8 weeks. I also run The Bridal Bootcamp, a wedding fitness program helping brides prepare for their big day with confidence and strength rather than crash dieting. Personal note: I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 5 and have managed my health through fitness ever since, including playing football at Dartmouth College. I'm available to comment on managing chronic conditions through exercise, virtual fitness, women's fitness across life stages, wedding fitness prep, and the realities of online coaching versus in-person training.

I’m Gwenn, a freelance fitness-wellness writer, a level-4 ACE-certified* Personal Trainer (25 years), and a certified yoga instructor and coach in California. Physically active as a teen dancer, hotfooting it to the fitness world was in plain sight. After certifying in personal training and group fitness, coaching in a few health clubs became master training turf for my future. Corporate fitness programs followed, which is where I found coaching elegance in the C-suite terrain. I was in two brilliant worlds of learning and teaching.  I spent off-hours creating health and fitness newsletters. These broadcasts became my perfect 24/7 digital marketing tool, and I sometimes received the best compliment for any writer: “When is the next one?”  In 2008, I opened a yoga-fitness center where I train clients in group and private sessions 4 days a week. Along with that, managing the business demands broader marketing recipes in website maintenance, landing page marketing, and more fitness newsletters, which are all self-executed responsibilities. Running a successful online fitness accessories store for 7 years enabled excellent website design and maintenance skills.   My creative side carries outside my fitness center’s four walls. I write about self-improvement, personal training, exercise, and yoga, where I am at peace (and at play!). Recently published articles/contributions include Fit&Well, AskMen, Eat This Not That, and YogaGrit. I'm ready for more. If your wellness project banks on information with integrity -- and a bit of sparkle -- I might be your gal. Shall we chat? My expertise is: - mind-body - senior yoga - group fitness - yoga instruction - mobility training - strength training - women's fitness - personal training - functional training - post-rehab training - special populations - senior fitness and longevity ________________ Websites are:  https://GwennJones.com https://AuburnYogaStudio.com Sacramento, CA, USA *ACE CPT (American Council on Exercise)

Amanda Brink Hull grew up just outside of Fenton, Iowa on a small acreage where she was raised with her three younger sisters. Their upbringing was rooted in hands-on experiences; working in their father’s two huge gardens, caring for the family’s chickens, and learning the art of deer hunting. These experiences instilled in Amanda a deep respect for nature, an understanding of the importance of nutritious food, and a strong work ethic; principles that serve as the foundation of her values today. Amanda and her husband, Josh, now live full-time in Florida but remain connected to their Iowa roots. They have two grown children—a daughter working in real estate in Iowa and a son who attends FGCU. Both enjoy cooking and leading active lifestyles. Amanda holds certifications in nutrition, personal training, health coaching, and as a transformation specialist from ISSA along with a Master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. She has served on various boards from Iowa to Washington, DC, and has spoken at national conferences alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz. Because of her passion and dedication for overall health, Amanda was nominated to serve as a Hearst Wellness Champion from 2018 to 2021, in addition to her role as General Sales Manager at the Hearst CBS affiliate in Des Moines, IA. Currently, she volunteers as a wellness advocate, serving on the WellWorks! Committee at Strategic America. Amanda founded Hull Health in 2020, initially sharing wellness tips, workout ideas, and healthy recipes through social media. Since then, the mission has evolved to address the vital healthcare needs of individuals, organizations, and communities. Her latest book, Rooted: The Down-to-Earth Basics of Wellness, has received nothing but five-star reviews. Visit the Books page at Hull-Health.com to order your copy today.

Carly Anne Kasinpila is an entrepreneur, author, yoga educator, model, and founder of Arrive Yoga & Wellness Center. She began teaching yoga in 2015, and over the years her work has taken her from traditional studios to private clients, schools, corporate settings, retreats, and international communities. That experience shaped her belief that wellness should feel accessible, expressive, and connected to real life. Carly is also the creator of The Art of Arrival retreats and the Arrive Yoga Method with movement, mindfulness, self-expression, and connection, as her current developing methodology. Along with that, she is also Arrive Consulting's Principal, where she works with entrepreneurs to bring ideas out of their heads and into tangible, actionable businesses. Her broader career has crossed publishing, speaking, media, fashion, entertainment, and community-building, giving her a perspective that blends creativity with business strategy.

Marc has over 20 years experience training: in a sports medicine/rehab setting, as a group exercise instructor, and as an independent personal trainer. In that time, he has worked with a diverse clientele with a wide variety of physical abilities, and has gained extensive knowledge of orthopedic injuries and their treatments. Along the way, he has developed an intuition for helping clients dial in complex exercises and accessing pesky muscles notorious for insubordination, earning him the nickname ‘The Glute Whisperer’. Additional experience includes weight training (Olympic lifting, power lifting, and otherwise), group exercise training, TRX, HIIT, and he has been running ski conditioning exercise groups for most of his career. My approach to training is founded on the ideas that workouts should be functional, straightforward, and efficient - think less ‘Instagram exercises’ involving various contraptions and weird equipment, and more functional, repeatable, and economical exercises that replicate your sport or activities; that they should be comprehensive - looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on specific parts or movements; that they should be educational - teaching the client to use his or her body correctly and efficiently in both sport and everyday activities; and lastly, that they should build confidence as well as strength, and that making a workout fun is as important as all else. Education: BS Kinesiology with Emphasis in Exercise Testing, Analysis, and Prescription Certifications: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Level 1 USA Weightlifting Coach (USAW-L1) Certification in Applied Functional Science (CAFS) Level 1 and 2 Certifications in Functional Movement Systems (FMS)
