Kristi Vacanti became involved in pilates shortly after moving to Los Angeles from the Midwest. After receiving SPX Fitness certification, she opened her own pilates studio, Pilates Plus San Fernando Valley, here in Encino, as an affiliate of Systeme Dynamique. Many group pilates classes are taught here weekly by certified trainers. Private lessons and private classes are available, as well. Classes are paid for and reserved ahead of time, so class schedule can vary based on demand.
More recently, Vacanti expanded the studio to include a range of cardio-based classes, called Circuit San Fernando Valley. These classes can involve dance, aerobics, treadmill, boxing and circuit training.
