His passion for authentic classical Pilates started in 1998 whilst training for his professional dance career in Los Angeles. Dancing for top recording artists such as Cher, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, and many major films, commercials, and TV, shows for Alex living in physical pain was a constant. He quickly discovered the only remedy of rehabilitation was Pilates and it was the practice of Pilates that elongated his career as a professional performer. Alongside his friend and mentor Carrie Macy, Alex started BACE Pilates in Los Angeles located on the corner of La Brea Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. After several years in operation, Alex and Carrie built a very successful Pilates practice specializing in both fitness enthusiasts and rehabilitation clients. In 2009 after collaborating on a Pilates training manual, he began traveling to take his teaching on the road and it was then that he began to realize his goals of creating healthy retreats in beautiful locations. He devoted his life's work to bringing the transformative approach of Joseph Pilates to everyone around the globe. He has taught all over the United States and for over ten years now leads well-being retreats in Greece, Spain, England, and Austria. Alex's style of teaching is a perfect combination of classical Pilates and progressive methods, with the fervor and tenacity that Joseph Pilates intended for his clients. His classes and private sessions will rebuild the body you deserve and transform your life.
