Studios are experiencing a boost in confidence levels from a myriad of Xtend students. Place your mouse over the pictures on the right to see the outstanding results Xtend delivers.
As a Pilates instructor and former dancer I never thought I would gain as much weight as I did during my pregnancy - 49 pounds! Standing at only 5'1" that was nearly half my starting weight.
While my baby is worth every ounce, I needed to find an inspirational way to help remove the extra weight. Xtend was a guiding light! With Xtend, I lost my baby weight and redefined my body as I knew it.
Today I am a Master Instructor with Xtend and love motivating others to feel as enthusiastic as I did when Andrea Rogers entered my life!

I first studied Pilates in LA in 1978, but it wasn't until I started with Xtend that I saw an immediate difference in my body. I'm amazed because I only attend not less than twice weekly, but see inches melted away from my waist and hips, my butt is lifted and my abs (my least favorite part to work out) are more toned. I now have to get in the mode to rest my arms on my desk instead of my stomach. Xtend taught me to master my muscles once again and never to waste a stretch. If Pilates sculpts the body, Xtend chisels it.

I gained 40 pounds during pregnancy. After giving birth to a beautiful little girl, Andrea introduced me to Xtend. She promised that not only would the weight come off, but that my tummy and everything else would be even better than before my pregnancy. She was absolutely right. I toned up in just a few months with just two classes a week...and I loved every minute of it! The unique combination of stretching and strength exercises made me stronger and slimmer than I've ever been.
The energizing vibe of the class kept me coming back. I am now addicted to the Xtend method. People who have known me my entire life tell me that I am in better shape than I've ever been. I'm actually a pant size smaller than my pre-pregnancy weight! I think a solid excuse to go shopping for new clothes makes for a very happy ending.

I have always taken pride in staying healthy and love working out, but never have I been totally ADDICTED to a workout like Xtend... and the results I’m continually getting. I will go out of my way to make sure I don't miss a class! Thanks, Xtend, for giving me the body I want without having to spend hours in the gym every week. I feel strong and sexy!
-Stacy Hanapole
I began Xtend in 2006. At age 71, I can honestly say that the classes changed my physical appearance, my energy level, and attitude toward aging. I have lost inches in my hips, thighs, and waist, and toned my muscles. I look better feel better than I did ten years ago, and have been told by friends and relatives that I could get away with shaving years off my age and be believed.
I look forward to class and savor every minute. Yes, the classes are strenuous, but afterward, I feel that every muscle group in my body has been through a thorough exercise program. Andrea is a gifted teacher, who is inspiring to all of her students, fostering a positive attitude toward physical well being, and living life to the fullest.

Xtend has this amazing way of strengthening my body and overall health and wellness. Andrea's program significantly increases my flexibility and improves my posture. Her understanding of anatomy and physiology shine throughout this workout. Her class is 100% exciting with the bonus of being safe and effective.

I started Xtend when I was pregnant with my third child. I was doing traditional Plates, but asked my studio owner what classes would be better for me as my pregnancy advanced. She suggested Xtend since a lot of the work is done standing (a la barre). I took a class and was hooked! It's a total body workout.
Andrea's pregnancy modifications helped me to accommodate the regime with my growing belly. I was able to workout up until two weeks before delivery. After delivery, I couldn't wait to get back. People were impressed with how quickly my body bounced back. I credit my post baby strength and stamina to Xtend.
-Susan Stone
As a dancer, I’m constantly in the gym and eating healthy. However, after taking my first Xtend class, I felt out of shape. I used to run 5 miles a day, and currently I swim and weight train. But nothing compares to how Xtend works your body. I was immediately sore after the class, something I’ve never experienced after any workout. Plus, the Xtend class is never the same, which means I won’t have to worry about hitting that exercise plateau.
-Dominique Conti
Prior to having my son, I was going to the gym 4-5 days per week doing typical cardio and weights regime. Going to the gym felt like a chore and I absolutely dreaded it. I now have a little boy who's 2. Who has time to go to the gym anymore? I don't need to with Xtend. I go 1-2 times per week and I have achieved results far better than any gym workout. I'm now in the best shape of my life and I love the workout. I actually look forward to it.

I have participated in Andrea's XTend Workout and, as a classically trained certified Pilates instructor and author, I am discriminating in my training.
Fortunately, Andrea delivers the full package: a dancer's background, where technique is emphasized, an innovator, creating XTend as way of shaping the physique-like no other program, and a mastermind, with her encouragement and exceptional enthusiasm.
You will be challenged in ways that get results!
I highly recommend her workout!

Dear Andrea,
What have you done with my cellulite?? Never mind, I don’t want it back. Just above my knees, on the inside of the legs had awful cellulite. I haven’t worn a bathing suit or shorts in two years. A few days ago, getting out of my bath, I looked in the mirror and could not find the cellulite I once had. So…I visited two other mirrors in my house - very little cellulite. So…I went shopping and checked out the dressing room mirrors in Bloomingdale’s…okay, maybe I’ll find the cellulite in Saks’ mirrors. Well, I’ve searched everywhere and boy has it diminished. I gave up on my legs after a Plastic Surgeon told me nothing could be done. Well, I guess he doesn’t know about “you” and “Xtend” and after only about 20 classes!!! Can’t wait to see what 20 more classes will do for the rest of me. Andrea, thank you for your professionalism, motivation, caring about all of us, and looking so darn good it inspires me to keep going.
Hugs,
Edie Kennedy
