A certain magic happens in my studio and
dreams are realized.

About the Studio
Beyond Fit Pilates, in Grayhawk of North Scottsdale, provides a unique, intimate environment ideal for centering and breath. Private and semi-private sessions are truly private, with personal instruction and attention to every detail for all students.
The Beyond Fit studio is warm with natural light but cool with good air movement, including the option of opening the doors when the Arizona weather becomes too beautiful to completely stay inside. Music is usually playing, the genre geared toward the personality and mood of the student currently in the room. There are two of everything Pilates plus choices for additional fitness work — dumbbells, stability balls, bands, foam rollers, and TRX.
Beyond Fit is a neighborhood style, family oriented business. Children are welcome while you practice your Pilates, to play quietly on the floor mat, or at the playground across the street. Some brave-hearted children have actually joined their parents and grandparents in the work! They are kept safe and sound with eyes-on, age-appropriate instruction and tactile assistance. Whatever your personal needs, Beyond Fit tries to accommodate.
About Cindy
Cindy has made it her life’s work to help bodies that hurt to function and feel better with Pilates and Health Coaching. With Pilates she gently progresses the very beginner into a competent, confident pilates student, and challenges the most elite athlete to fine tune their fitness, balance, flexibility, and injury prevention. Behind the Pilates movement, there is a science, system, and psychology, all of which Cindy is a perpetual student. She instills newly acquired information regularly into her sessions, keeping the work fresh, intellectually stimulating, and even more effective.
Cindy earned her first fitness training certification, the American Council on Exercise, in 1998. In 2010, Cindy became a certified STOTT PILATES™ instructor. She chose STOTT PILATES for the depth and intelligence of this contemporary Pilates style. Cindy teaches Pilates private and semi-private equipment sessions at all levels, including injuries and special conditions. Additionally, Cindy offers a STOTT PILATES™ brand of pilates/yoga fusion called Zenga, TRX training, and aerobic/anaerobic hybrid fitness/Pilates sessions. Cindy’s favorite part of teaching Pilates is watching her students progress into solid, confident pilates bodies who have fun challenging themselves just a little bit more in every session.
Cindy became a Health Coach with Optavia to concentrate on our growing societal problem of being overweight or obese. New healthy habits need to be learned and practiced every day to make lifelong change. Optavia offers trained personal coaches, proven science, convenience, community, and a wealth of information accessible at a fingertip.
Along with being an athlete, Cindy is an artist, professional writer, musician, nature lover, and the proud parent of two young men who, while growing up, helped her to practice the great life lessons of listening, empathy, and patience. She attributes these years of practice to making her a better instructor and a better person.
