Meet the Instructor
Hey, I’m Cynthia.
I’m the creator behind Core Rooted Fitness. My path hasn’t been linear, from chronic back pain and ankle sprains to navigating perimenopause, but movement has always been my anchor. Weightlifting taught me effort, martial arts taught me discipline, and Pilates taught me alignment, shaping my blend of strength, mobility, and nervous-system awareness. After nearly a decade of teaching and working through my own pain, my purpose is to help you reconnect with your body, trust your strength, and find ease in movement.
But you can call me Cyn.

I have been working out with Cynthia for 5 years. I am in my mid 60’s and have been working out since I was in my 20’s and I have never felt stronger. I love how Cynthia personalizes a program just for me and my needs. I had a knee injury, and she is knowledgeable about what is needed to rehab it. She is patient and kind and knows just how to push me.

I wish everyone could have the chance to have at least one individual session with Cyn. She helped me transform my awareness of how my musculature works to support my body – and where it’s currently faltering. And then she gave me targeted exercises I can practice at home so I can see some shift. Now I have more strength and less pain. I’m so grateful!

Post surgery I was given a clean bill of health but I was still experiencing a lot of post surgical pain. My body was holding onto a lot of tension and because of that, my shoulders were misaligned. One session with Cyn got me right back on track. Then I had another session. We worked on some of the scar tissue and I regained even more range of motion in my shoulders. I’m so grateful I had Cyn to help me through the recovery process.

I had always wanted to try Pilates but felt too intimidated to start. My goal was to overcome that fear and connect with my body—building strength, improving flexibility, and finding confidence in movement. Working with Cyn over the past two years has done that and so much more. She’s helped me connect deeply with my body—understanding my breath, my pain, and my strength—with patience and clarity.

To say Cynthia is Magic would be an understatement. Her passion for the human body and its potential is unmatched and you couple that with her beautiful heart and soul and you get an elite class human. If it wasn’t for her passion for recovery and the patience of a saint there is no way I would have recovered mobility so quickly. Now Cynthia is stuck with me for life. Oh and not to mention she is a top tier, best of the best Pilates instructor.

What makes Cynthia’s classes unique is her focus on form over aesthetics. She isn’t just about how the movements look she cares about how they’re performed and how they support your body long-term. She knows exactly how to push you in a way that challenges you while still feeling supportive and safe. Her approach has completely changed how I think about movement and exercise.
