"Thanks to Tonya Amos' patient and gifted expertise, I have gained an enhanced mind/body awareness that has changed my life on many levels. Now the quality of my life is one of joyous freedom from pain that previously had prevented me from successfully participating in many physical activities. I feel a new world of possibilities has opened up for me."

- K. Dickson, Concord, CA

“Tonya helped my kids get to the next level. We expected core strengthening. What we got was overall top level conditioning, improved line, and less injuries. Her eye is top rate and her background as a coach makes her ideal for bringing the power of Pilates into the gymnastics world”.

-Kim Rich, Sutton Gymnastics Level 9 coach, Chelsea Piers’ Assistant Director of Gymnastics, New York, NY

"Tonya really bridges the gap between Pilates and dance. She has a fabulous way of addressing a dancer’s needs. She has helped me so much, even long distance over the phone! Her way of describing and explaining movement is so clear. She really understands what I need to prolong my dance career, helps me stay strong against injury, and keeps my extension gorgeous and pain-free. "

-Mindy Haywood, “Stomp” on Broadway & Metropolitan Opera, New York, NY

"I've been doing the "PrePilates" exercises you showed me last week and all I can say is...WOW! I've been able to kick, stretch and even do my ab exercises on the chin-up bar at the gym with substantially better results and no PAIN! A whole new world has opened up...so my heartfelt thanks!

- J. Hu, Martial Artist, San Francisco, CA

" I can kick higher with less effort!"

- W. Dodson, National Tae Kwon Do Competitor, Pittsburg, CA

"In this fascinating world of either hyper-focused sports training or complete couch potato that children live right now, Tonya provides a great balance, training, and awareness of body performance.    I find my children (3 of them!) not only have learned strength, grace, and injury prevention techniques, but also a greater appreciation of their body and its role in the arts."

 -  L. A. Conte, San Francisco, CA

"Finding Tonya was one of the true miracles of my life. To say that she taught me how to get in touch with many muscles in my body and how to use them properly would only hint at what I gained from my sessions with her. No teacher I have encountered since has given such personal attention to her students and made each movement a meaningful effort that must be made with careful attention. Tonya gives an extra dimension, far beyond the meaning of "exercise", to her work, that makes every minute a discovery and a joy."

- S. Maccabee, Walnut Creek, CA

"Our (two) daughters, an opera singer and an aspiring actress, as well as our son, a baseball player, have all reaped the benefits from Tonya's inspirational and highly professional expertise."

- D. & J. Cote., Walnut Creek, CA

"Over the past five years, I've often called upon Tonya to help me with my post knee surgery recovery, a recurring hip injury and numerous everyday aches and pains.  Due to her background as a professional dancer, she has extensive first hand knowledge when it comes to the body and how it works.  You can only imagine the knowledge that she gained after completing her Pilates studies not once, but twice, on her own accord.  Her dedication to her craft is remarkable. You can expect much more than just a good workout with Tonya.  You will find her to be passionate, personable, efficient and honest with her work.  She really takes her time in creating a program that works just for you so that you can reach your personal goals. Tonya Amos is a phenomenal person and teacher.  Any association between her and her clients can only be mutually rewarding."

-  Lisa-Marie Lewis, “The Lion King” on Broadway & Dance Captain of The Radio City Rockettes, former ballerina with The Dance Theatre Of Harlem, New York, NY

"I had my appendix removed last weekend, managed an audition-got the movie and booked a recurring role on a new series. I was up and on my feet the next day and people are amazed (even the doctors) at my come back. I actually attribute it to you and the lower -ab exercises you taught me. It got me up and around in days instead of weeks."
