Sondra Fair entered the Pilates and fitness arena while establishing a formidable career in the world of professional ballet.  Sondra’s Ballet West career spans thirty years, as a dancer, Ballet Mistress and Associate Artistic Director.  Those years brought out Sondra’s ability to coach professionals so they could achieve their highest potential.  The dancer/athletes she coached advanced in their careers, often moving from corps de ballet to principal.  Sondra’s ability to guide them through rigorous training, providing advice on nutrition, injury prevention and mental discipline, helped Ballet West reach national recognition.  Sondra was selected by the John Butler Foundation to stage Carmina Burana, a clear indication of her dedication and the achievement of the dancers she trained.

Sondra utilized Pilates as a method of body conditioning and strengthening for herself and the dancers.  Pilates had become such an important aspect of her life, that she made the decision to become a Certified Pilates Instructor.

After amassing 600 hours of training an testing, she was certified by the New York Pilates Guild under the direction and tutelage of Romana Kryzanowska, the celebrated protège of Joseph Pilates.  Her decision to focus on personal training seemed the next logical step, an extension really, of her already established career as athlete and coach.  Every client of Physiques in Motion benefits from Sondra’s understanding of exercise physiology, her keen awareness of how to motivate people to achieve their personal best, and her depth of knowledge and experience as a Romana’s Pilates™ Level 4 Trainer.

Sondra constantly seeks improvement in her own technique, performance and teaching method.  She continues her Pilates studies and refines her teaching skills by travelling bi-monthly to Arlington, Texas for personal sessions at Metroplex Pilates with her mentor, Romana Kryzanowska.  Additionally, she has trained in New York, Washington DC, Atlanta, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
