Workouts with Addie
Addie Ungaretti has been teaching Pilates since 2008 and loves helping people feel stronger and happier in their own bodies. While in graduate school, she began teaching barre, yoga, and mat pilates on the side. She realized that she wanted to pursue Pilates full-time and completed her 700 hour training at Quantum Pilates in Washington, DC. and worked for Mariska at Fuse Pilates as Senior Instructor and teacher trainer. To deepen her Pilates education she has taken many specialized workshops and trainings, such as Pilates for Neurological Conditions, Pre and Postnatal Pilates, and Pilates for Special Injuries. She is a certified Pilates Suspension Method instructor and loves combining the Fuse Ladder with the TRX straps. She has also studied under Cara Reeser and Jeremy Lavadure to learn more about adapting Pilates exercises for all populations.
Addie housed the very first Fuse Ladder prototype in her garage, where she and Mariska worked on class ideas through the broiling heat of a D.C. summer. Addie is thrilled to now be teaching Fuse Ladder classes online. Her classes are high energy with lots of talking and fun music. She loves using the Fuse Ladder for HIIT style workouts and getting the heart rate up. Expect some non-traditional Pilates movements for strengthening and lengthening.
Addie began teaching online in May 2020 and has not looked back since. She created fuzzpanther fitness which has several different styles of classes on Zoom. She currently lives with her husband and two daughters in Fairfax, Virginia just outside Washington, DC. When not teaching, she is hoping that her kids don't find her while she is finishing her new favorite book.
