Pietra Fitness
I want to help you do what you love with less limitations
What is Pietra Fitness?
Pietra is a strength and flexibility program specifically designed for busy Catholic women of all fitness levels.
To nourish your soul, Pietra Fitness classes incorporate bodily prayer as well as Christian prayers and meditations that focus on themes such as peace, trust, joy, and living in the present moment.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to have an active life with flexibility and strength being a part of who they are. This is especially helpful for anyone who thrives with accountability and spending time with other Catholic women.
Who is this not for?
Pietra is not for superstars who want fitness to be their identity. If you think you can do it all on your own, you don't want a healthy life balance or you don't want to grow closer to God, this will not be a good fit.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
I have felt stronger and more erect in my posture since joining Robin’s Pietra classes. I hear her voice and gentle reminders throughout my day to straighten my posture and rotate my shoulders back and down. I carry a lot of stress in my neck, shoulders and upper back but her classes and techniques have greatly improved my tightness. My overall motor skills and strength have improved. The breathing work has also been so helpful! Plus, just as meaningful to me is the little reflections she gives, my favorite being, “Jesus, I trust in You. Please take care of everything!” This small phrase also helps me throughout my day!
I highly recommend Robin’s classes, maybe, especially through Zoom. You can concentrate on yourself and not worry about what everyone else is doing.
P.S. My doctor measured me ½ inch taller than I used to be!!

I have enjoyed and benefited physically and spiritually from Pietra classes with Robin since starting earlier this year. The focus on breath work, posture, and core strength with prayers at beginning and end have helped me to decrease stress and focus on the truly important things in life. Robin is always welcoming, friendly, and willing to work with each person, meeting individual needs. I also am very appreciative for the option to Zoom classes, especially early morning classes before work.

I have been doing Pietra for about a year and have experienced an increase in my prayer and spiritual life. I am working on strength and balance while incorporating meditation and prayer that is in line with my Catholic beliefs. Robin makes the classes very comfortable and provides verbal cues to make it easy. Modifications can be added to fit all fitness levels. Pietra is a great way to begin or end a busy day.

Robin helped me via zoom in 1:1 sessions over a period of several months. I so benefited from her chair Pietra sessions. My circumstance was unique because I am a mom of teen boys used to an active physical lifestyle who was dealing with sudden, permanent changes in my strength and balance. Our classes were a time of prayer, catharsis and helping me to discover how to integrate it all in my different functioning body. Due to her prayerful guidance my confidence increased as my pain and weakness decreased. She is so knowledgeable and able to adjust the flow of sessions depending on my needs that day. Eternally grateful!!
