About

It all started when…

Hello Pilates and Yoga Lovers! My name is Anabelen Aranton, PT or you can call me Annie for short as my family and loved ones call me since I was a little girl and I still use it as I introduce myself to my patients. Anabelen is a beautiful name as most people say when they usually hear it, but I prefer Annie for short, I am so pleased you are taking the time to get to know me a little better.

Annie Pilates Physical Therapist workouts are available at a variety of different levels to meet you where you are at today together with wellness, health, fitness, yoga, Pilates and Physical Therapy that covers a wide variety of workouts to help body healing, overall health and wellness.

Here’s a little more about me.

I’m passionate about you finding the very best workout and exercises for your life. There are a variety of Pilates, Yoga, HIIT and dynamic routines so you can workout at the appropriate level, from beginners, intermediate and advance and see and feel the results that Pilates, yoga, Dynamic stretching and physical therapy are known for. I also offer a continuing education program , webinars for Pilates, yoga and physical therapy.

If you think I have always loved exercising, that is 100% true. I was in Soccer, Swimming varsity and basketball, But honestly, i was not flexible and can not even touch my toes in standing or even long sitting, can’t even do a split and a wheel pose Flashback to middle school years, i hurt my back doing the bridge pose and wheel pose and i was afraid to continue due to stiffness on my spine. I share this with you so that you know we all start somewhere with health, flexibility and overall well-being.

Life can sometimes feel like it pushes us down. I have been there and continue to rise with Pilates and Yoga. I started Pilates after college and was working as a full time physical therapist in New York and New Jersey areas. I still go to the gym to workout but not realizing i was so stiff. I did my continuing education under the health professional group based in Maryland and got certified in Pilates after 4 thousand hours of training under the guidance of Therese McNerney is the founder of the Professional Health & Fitness Institute. She has been practicing orthopedic and manual physical therapy since graduating from The University of Texas in 1986.

I received by Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy 2002 and hold a comprehensive Pilates Certification from Professional Health and Fitness under the guidance of a certified Pilates and Physical Therapist based in Maryland . I also hold a Health Coaching Certificate, Personal training and a 200-hour Yoga certification. I worked as a physical therapist in New Jersey for 12 years, California for 4 years and currently I am based in Texas for the past 4 years and still ongoing and I really love what I do, to make my patients feel better.

I am an extrovert , like a social butterfly and I workout because it makes my life so much easier and elevates my mood more and i am so passionate on sharing wellness, fitness and healing. My goal is create fun and effective Pilates, Yoga, HIIT and dynamic stretching workouts that, yes challenge you, but also uplift you! I found out pretty quickly it doesn’t mean much if you look great if you feel miserable. I also enjoy spending time outdoors with my family , hiking, biking, swimming , going to the beach and exploring the world.

My passion is to help other people step fully into their life through the work of health and wellness. I believe that making small sustainable changes are the way to go , i do intermittent fasting and to help my immunity and i love to share nutrition as well.. My purpose is to uplift people I work with and show them an approach to life that is fun, engaging, challenging, effortless and uplifting.
