What do you do at ABOW?
I am the studio manager at A Body of Work and have been for more than 10 years now. I love interfacing with our awesome clients via the business aspect of the studio: assisting with scheduling, processing purchases, answering questions about the studio, etc. I get to talk with people just discovering the studio about Pilates and Gyrotonic, as well as how we can collaborate with them to enhance their own personal fitness at ABOW. I work with our trainers, helping them with the back end details of ABOW; and I keep track of the physical building to make sure it's a comfortable, safe environment for everyone to be in.
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I am also a certified Pilates, Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, CoreAlign, and NASM Personal Trainer. I love studying about corrective exercises, nutrition, and working out. I have a passion for European travel, in particular Switzerland. And I enjoy practicing and keeping up on my German language skills at any opportunity.
What's your favorite thing about being in the Presidio?
I think being able to be in so much green inside the Presidio is such a benefit to the studio being located in the Park. We have a beautiful, peaceful location - a real rarity in a city as big as San Francisco. And the hummingbirds are pretty fantastic, too!!
What's your favorite part about working at ABOW?
My favorite part of working at ABOW is our clients, hands down! They are inspiring to me with their commitment to health and strength at every age and how that makes life more fulfilling. I get so much joy from seeing them each week (even if only on the computer this past year).
