What People Are Saying
...I came to him about five years ago, weak and imbalanced, after having my left knee and both hip joints replaced. He quickly got my body back into alignment, tailoring each session to suit my needs, gaining my trust completely. He always inspires me to go farther than I thought possible, explaining every exercise so I understand what I'm doing and why.
Andre is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and has a keen intuition in understanding at a glance what my body needs emphasis on during every session. He also brings humor and great kindness to the work.
My first goal was to feel strong and confident enough to go sky diving on my 70th birthday. I got there and I did! To top it off Andre came with me and we jumped out of a plane together! That's how amazing he is! My level of fitness continues to grow as I progress with him. He is the one to take you to your highest goals! ...

I have worked with many Pilates instructors as both a client and a colleague, and Andre Rivera is hands down my go-to. He has a complex understanding of the human body and can coach for a variety of client goals, whether it’s improving flexibility and core stability or preparing the body for strength training. He makes Pilates accessible and customizes it to the person in front of him, which is perfect for new clients, but also has the experience to program more complex movements for advanced clients. His sessions are challenging, but his passion and infectious personality makes the session fly by.

Equinox Tier X Coach
I have been working with Andre for a little over 1.5 years now. From the beginning, he came with a great recommendation (to quote: “he is the best”) and has always performed up to that very high bar. He is an attentive and thoughtful instructor, everything from a well-planned session to regularly checking in to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the lessons. I can confidently say that Andre has helped me to understand my body and love and appreciate pilates. Needless to say, you always end the session with a sore and sweaty body but also with a sense of better self. As a cherry on top, Andre is also very responsive and personable, offering more than just a training session. He gives you that extra touch that makes you enjoy the time spent with him...
