Episode notes

Andrea is a wellness entrepreneur, celebrity trainer, and creator of ground-breaking fitness sensation Xtend Barre, a creative combination of traditional Pilates methods, ballet, and cardio.

Featured in Vogue, with live appearances on NBC, ABC, and CNN networks, she is a popular thought leader in health and movement communities and a youth skincare advocate, and her online workouts have been viewed millions of times.

Her lifelong love of movement started with a dedicated dance practice leading to a career as a professional choreographer and dancer (most notably as principal dancer for Walt Disney World), before mastering Pilates as a comprehensive classical trainer.

Andrea soon created her own innovative fusion of core, dance, and Pilates fundamentals and, encouraged by her clients’ response, in 2008 she launched Xtend with locations worldwide.

Andrea is also a motivational coach and cofounder of tween skincare brand Lennie, as well as a mentor for Lennie Leaders, a business training program created to empower young individuals.

Her new book Small moves, big life - 7 daily practices to supercharge your energy, productivity and happiness in just minutes a day is available now.
