Alaina Bopp, is a remarkable individual whose early experiences shaped her deep appreciation for physical strength. Diagnosed at the tender age of 6 with health issues that led to frequent bone fractures and muscular injuries, Alaina faced constant hospitalization. However, her love for dance became a powerful tool for perseverance. As a Competitive Dancer at the Dance Studio of Fresno, Alaina's dedication and discipline to daily dance practice played a crucial role in her physical and mental resilience, as doctors often reminded her mother during her recoveries from fractures and medical events.
In 2009, after undergoing surgery and experimental treatments at the Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, Alaina's body began to heal. She continued to demonstrate the same commitment and dedication, eventually becoming a professional ballet dancer. Her impressive journey includes dancing with the Marat Daukayev School of Ballet, The Kirov Academy of Ballet, and studying at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), where she majored in Fine Arts (Dance).
It was at UCI that Alaina discovered Pilates, which became an integral part of her ballet practice and training. Incorporating fundamental movement patterns for optimal posture, flexibility, balance, resistance, agility, strength, and core improvement, Pilates proved to be an ideal modality for athletes, fitness enthusiasts and Alaina! Especially for those prone to injuries, with pre-existing conditions, or needing controlled movements during periods of weakness or recovery. The Pilates reformer provides the structure for performing repetitive movements in a controlled and unstable environment, challenging the body to recruit muscles for stabilization.
As Alaina's expertise in Pilates grew, she explored various methods, studios, teachers, and equipment. She chose the Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer and Cardio Assault Runner to enhance their curriculum at BOPPILATES. Alaina’s classes are designed to build mind-body confidence by introducing exercises and movements that enhance muscular endurance, aid in joint and core stability, and foster an overall mind-body connection.
If you want to experience heartfelt support, incredible physical results, and endorphins that will have you dancing all day, come take a class with Alaina Bopp!

If Patricia isn't teaching Pilates, playing with her doodle puppies at the beach, cooking up a gourmet meal with her daughter and son, or traveling around the world, she’s working as the Senior Vice President at Teleperformance. A results-driven business leader and proud alumna of Fresno State, Patricia has been a lifelong advocate for physical and mental wellness. #MINDBODYSPIRIT
The changes in her aging body have motivated Patricia to use herself as an evidence-based scientific test subject, proving the benefits of BOPPILATES. Understanding that the human body at 60 cannot sustain the same stress it did in her forties, she realized that physical activity differs from exercise, and that muscular dysfunction and increased rates of injury can happen just by moving left instead of right. This realization compelled her to start studying and training with Alaina. Throughout her travels, Patricia has had the opportunity to learn from and take classes with the best in the Pilates industry across the USA, sharing the best techniques at BOPPILATES.
As we age, Patricia discovered that it’s essential to move biomechanically in slow or controlled movements to protect and build joint and core stability. This approach leads to better muscular coordination and physical confidence. The Allegro 2 Reformer and Assault Runner are the most appropriate devices to provide support and structure to movements without putting unnecessary demands on the body, while still providing resistance and an unstable environment to force your muscles to stabilize your core while exercising.
Now, as most women of Patricia’s age, she can afford to make an investment in herself. Her quest for body transformation to optimize her metabolism, improve balance, provide injury resistance, increase muscular endurance, build strength, regain deep core stability, enhance flexibility, strengthen her spine, and simply feel amazing inspired her to partner with her daughter Alaina to create BOPPILATES.
Patricia has discovered and is dedicated to a method that works for her. She combines BOPPILATES with her practice of integrating weights, cardio, yoga, diet, and attitude. If you want to kick ass at any age, come take a class with Patricia Bopp!
