Small Moves, Big Life

Rogers, Andrea Leigh: - Andrea Leigh Rogers is a wellness entrepreneur, celebrity trainer, and creator of groundbreaking fitness sensation Xtend, a creative combination of traditional Pilates methods, ballet, and cardio. Featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle, with live appearances on NBC, ABC, and CNN networks, she is a popular thought leader in health and movement communities and a youth skincare advocate, and her online workouts have been viewed millions of times.
