Andrea Van Zile

Andrea was introduced to the Pilates method in 2005 while recovering from an elbow injury…. and it was love at first “hundred!”

Completing her 500 hour comprehensive certification at Core Pilates NYC, Andrea chose to specialize in the areas of pre & postnatal Pilates, as well as injuries and illnesses. She sincerely believes that Pilates is for everyone and practicing the method will make you do everything you love, better.

Prior to joining the VIDA Fitness family in 2016, Andrea was the Pilates Program Director and lead instructor at WFNYC.
