Sandra Genzel (Inhaberin) I entered the fitness world via a classical ballet education which lasted for eight years at the Palluca School in Dresden and at the ballet academy in Vienna. Some years ago I came across Pilates training. I was taught by Juliana Afram, formerly The Pilates Coach and now Power Pilates Germany. I learned the whole mat technique from basic to advanced level. After that I wanted to continue the Pilates education program. For two years I travelled regularly to Germany to receive an education as a studio instructor. My trainers were Dana Eisenstein (USA), Davidson Ried (USA) and Juliana Afram (D) amongst others.

In addition to my work in my studio I am part of Power Pilates Presenters and Instructor Team for Germany.
