Hi, I’m Ava

Your go-to gal where conventional fitness methods fall short!

An international presenter and teacher of teachers, Ava Rodriguez empowers movement professionals worldwide by demystifying complex concepts. Because if science isn’t practical, it isn’t applicable!

She has earned a reputation for connecting the dots on the missing link in Pilates and fitness teaching. As a continuing education provider, she ensures instructors from diverse backgrounds can learn the complexities of anatomy and joint-specific training and apply these principles effectively.

As we age, we don’t replace muscles; we replace our joints!

Having certified hundreds of teachers globally with her multi-accredited certification. Her global M.F.A community refers to her as a mentor who cares, is humble, and generously shares her knowledge in a way that is digestible!

Drawing from a multidisciplinary background with extensive training in anatomy and physiology, Ava has one simple mission: to empower instructors to rewrite the stories of ‘I used to be able to do…but I can’t anymore.’ You need to be curious and willing to keep an open mind in order to learn new things and discard old beliefs. This is the only way we can better serve our communities.

Ava often jokes that she’s here for the long run—team longevity and she’s planning to twerk her way out of this life, with a global tribe by her side.

“Ava’s funny, no-nonsense, and straightforward approach to training is explained so simply that, just 48 hours post-seminar, the concepts are already applicable.”

“A Game Changer! Wish I had met you years ago! Thank you for being the guardian of our joints”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Focus & Philosophy

I strongly believe that for true democracy to flourish, a majority of individuals must have access to similar education and knowledge. This is why, I am dedicated to sharing authentic information. Science is my guiding principle, and I don’t adopt ideas that can’t withstand rigorous scrutiny. I’m a free spirit with loyalty to logic and rationality. The world is my home, and as an educator, I hold myself responsible for continually learning and evolving so that I can add the most value to my community.
