"From the moment you walk into Esquina, there is great energy. Ana begins by asking how your body is feeling and meets you where you are. As a runner, her tailored workouts support my half-marathon training by providing clear instruction and connecting exercises to real-life movements. She pushes in a motivating way; and my strength, agility, and flexibility have noticeably improved in a very short time. Ana is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I love training with her!"

—Patty I.
"Working with Ana has changed my life. The multitude of aches and pains that sent me to her are largely gone and when something starts to hurt she has given me the tools to start the fix myself. And she is great company so as much as I loathe getting up and out so early, I always leave my session with a smile."

—Katherine D.
"Ana helped me find muscles I didn't know I had, even after a lifetime of being active and athletic. Working with her not only helped me recover from a bad broken leg and surgery, but become strong in new ways so I'm hiking, lifting, biking, and moving through life with greater strength and ease. I leave each session grounded and inspired."

—Sarah W.
"I started working with Ana when I was 2 months postpartum after having my first child, and she knew exactly how to help me build my strength back after my pregnancy. The strength and mobility work we did together helped me feel stronger than I had even before having a baby. I continued working with her through the entirety of my second pregnancy, and that work put me in a much better position for postpartum recovery. Ana has a phenomenal understanding of how body dynamics and breathwork inform strength training, so she helped me get strong while also keeping me injury-free."

—Dana R.
"What strikes me when I think about working with Ana is the richness of the experience. Of course, she has a high degree of expertise—a mind-boggling knowledge of the body and its parts and how they interact, react and work together—but there is also a deep interest in personhood beyond the physical: your hopes, joys, anxieties or just what you’ve been reading lately. Because those too affect how the parts of your body interact, react and work together. The longer you work with Ana, the more you discover that there’s much more to working out than just your body."

—John B.
"I began working with Ana nearly a decade ago following a traumatic bike crash that resulted in a severe lower-leg injury. While I was initially focused on rebounding from the injury, through Ana’s thoughtful programming and coaching, I have since achieved many other fitness goals, including running my first marathon, which I would never have thought possible after my accident. Our functional training sessions — infused with sweat, encouragement, and laughter — have also helped me to navigate major life changes and, most recently, emerge from graduate school both physically and mentally prepared for the next stage of my career. As I enter my forties, I’m proud and grateful to say that I’m the strongest and most in tune with my body I have ever been."

—Gina A.
"I have been working with Ana for three years. Initially I came to her in recovery from a many-month bout with chronic pain, deconditioned and fearful. Ana patiently, lovingly, and thoughtfully worked with me to explore the limits of my body and build new strength and capability. These days our work together is more like play! We have fun with strength, conditioning, mobility, and agility, and each workout is a new fun project in exploring my limits and how much stronger I have become. I’ve turned 50 since starting my work with Ana and I can honestly say that I have never been stronger, fitter, or happier with how my body performs and looks."

—Charlotte K.
