Our philosophyHere you're heard before you're coached,
met where you are before you're challenged.
If you've ever felt like no one really listened, you found your place. You don't need someone to fix you. You need someone in your corner who listens, adapts, and challenges you past the limits you've set for yourself or that others have led you to believe are real. Your voice matters here. Your feelings matter here. We figure it out together and show you how capable your body truly is.
That's CRF.
WHO ARE WECRF is not a gym. Not a Pilates studio. Not physical therapy.
It borrows from all of them and is limited by none of them.
Here, strength is built. Stillness is practiced. Both matter.
Private, personal, and built entirely around you. Your body, your history, your goals. Real work, real progress, and a real person fully in your corner. You bring the willingness. CRF brings the rest.
THE LOTUS SYMBOLWhy the Lotus?
Because it captures everything CRF stands for in one image.
The darker petals represent where we begin: pain, imbalance, uncertainty.
The lighter petals represent where we are going: strength, clarity, freedom.
Every petal has its place. So do you.
Meet Cyn
The Woman Behind CRF
Movement & Stillness EducatorI'm Cyn, the guide and creator behind Core Rooted Fitness.
My journey has been anything but linear. From 2017 to 2019, I lived with chronic lower back pain. In 2018, I endured three ankle sprains in just three months. Now, I'm navigating perimenopause with curiosity and grace. Through it all, movement has remained my sanctuary and anchor.
At 16, a family member introduced me to weightlifting, teaching me how effort transforms into strength. Years later, martial arts taught me discipline and precision. In 2022, earning my black belt reminded me that strength and softness can coexist.
Pilates deepened my understanding of anatomy and sparked a curiosity that never stopped growing. These practices shaped how I teach today, integrating strength, mobility, and nervous system awareness into one cohesive approach.
Nearly ten years of teaching have shown me that transformation isn't tied to one method. It's the flow between them all; woven together into something greater than the sum of their parts.
I know what it's like to move through pain and find steadiness on the other side. My purpose is to help you reconnect with your body, rebuild trust in your strength, and rediscover ease in movement.
That is the heart of Core Rooted Fitness.

Working with Cyn for almost 7 years now has changed my entire approach to movement. I understand my body and what and when and how it needs to move. She has helped me find my inner warrior and achieve goals I never thought was possible. I am a breast cancer survivor and I have lupus and Cyn has been there for me through it all and modified my program so I could keep moving. I m blessed to have her guidance in my life.

Fast forward a bit… we’re still together, and I still see her several times a week (thankfully in person!) in a group setting. The cues are still there, too, but now I also get to witness how well Cynthia manages a class full of different ages, shapes, sizes, and fitness levels. You’ll leave feeling like the session was designed just for you, because that’s her magic - understanding YOUR body, not just teaching an exercise.

Cynthia is truly gifted in the world of movement and I think of her as my angel-doctor-godess-friend. :) Her style of teaching is so carefully constructed and has a special ability to tap into body/mind/joint connections that go deeper than just basic muscle and fitness coordination in order to help anyone she works with.

I had always wanted to try Pilates but felt too intimidated to start. My goal was to overcome that fear and connect with my body—building strength, improving flexibility, and finding confidence in movement. Working with Cyn over the past two years has done that and so much more. She’s helped me connect deeply with my body—understanding my breath, my pain, and my strength—with patience and clarity.

To say Cynthia is Magic would be an understatement. Her passion for the human body and its potential is unmatched and you couple that with her beautiful heart and soul and you get an elite class human. If it wasn’t for her passion for recovery and the patience of a saint there is no way I would have recovered mobility so quickly. Now Cynthia is stuck with me for life. Oh and not to mention she is a top tier, best of the best Pilates instructor.

I have been working out with Cynthia for 5 years. I am in my mid 60’s and have been working out since I was in my 20’s and I have never felt stronger. I love how Cynthia personalizes a program just for me and my needs. I had a knee injury, and she is knowledgeable about what is needed to rehab it. She is patient and kind and knows just how to push me.
