Westside Workout Pilates Studio

Join us for our healthy lifestyle lecture on Saturday, June 25th, 3:00pm-5:00pm at the studio.

Dominique Adair, M.S., R.D., a Registered Dietitian and owner of Adair Fitness & Nutrition in Santa Monica will present, “Good Food vs. Bad Food – Is there such a thing?” This lively lecture will help you assess the healthiness of your diet by looking at it as a whole (and understanding the cumulative benefit of your food choices), rather than defining foods as either “all good” or”all bad”. **

Dominique earned her undergraduate degree at Barnard College/Columbia University and Master’s degree in clinical nutrition from City University of New York, graduating from both schools with Phi Beta Kappa honors.

An avid cyclist and hiker, Dominique is the epitome of living what she teaches. She is very fit, health conscious and committed to a healthy lifestyle for herself as well as her husband and ten-year old son. She is dedicated to educating and empowering her clients to make health-supporting choices through nutrition and fitness. Her philosophy is to keep it simple and real to promote long-term change.

Dominique is a regular contributor to CNN, FOX and MSNBC and a freelance health and nutrition writer with interviews and commentaries appearing in Newsweek, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan and many others. She is on the advisory boards of the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Council on Exercise for whom she translates scientific research into practical information their members can use. She is an adjunct professor of biological sciences at Santa Monica College and a consultant to athletic teams, corporate wellness programs and the entertainment industry.

I made Dominique’s acquaintance because my daughter and her son attend the same school where Dominique develops curriculum and teaches science. By combining the depth of her science background with a natural creative flair, she has made science come alive for the children. It is this same enthusiasm and knowledge that Dominique brings to her lectures.

We are in for a treat and a wealth of information on how to establish a satisfying, healthy way of eating.

Through the month of March, we will gladly add an extra session to your series as our way of thanking you for encouraging family and friends to try Pilates.

We are happy to announce that, quarterly, we will be hosting a free, afternoon tea and lecture series. Our first will be held on Saturday, April 9th, at the studio from 3:00PM to 5:00PM. We will start with high tea and time for socializing after which Dominique Fradin-Read, MD, MPH, will present “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired”, a lecture that will enlighten you on how to care for your health, live each day with vitality and prevent premature disease and aging. This is a lecture not to be missed.**

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Fradin-Read speak at Lifespan Medicine where she offers an innovative wellness and preventive medicine program. She shared a wealth of information on the latest preventive and anti-aging research. Her passion for patient education and commitment to helping patients gain optimal health were obvious in her delightful presentation.

Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read has a richly diverse medical background. In Europe, she was a pioneer in wellness and lifestyle medicine and, since, has become a leading advocate of regenerative medicine in the US.

She graduated summa cum laude from Belgium’s Universite Libre de Bruxelles and served as consulting physician and associate faculty member at the University Hospital Center Trousseau in Tours (France). She developed cardiovascular and metabolic prevention programs for the French Association of Cardiology and the French Committee for Health Promotion and Education. For several years, she served as medical advisor and anti-aging physician for one of Europe’s major medical spas.

After her move to the US, she became a fellow in anti-aging, regenerative, and functional medicine, earned a Master of Public Health degree and became board-certified in preventive medicine. She collaborated with renowned dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad and served as staff physician at the Center for Health Promotion in Loma Linda. She is currently Assistant Clinical Professor at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and a physician at Lifespan Medicine, a premiere wellness practice, in Santa Monica.

Experts agree that to achieve long term goals, you must create a “road map”of short term, manageable goals that will lead you, step-by-step, to your “destination”.

Pilates recruits your deep, core muscles to simultaneously stretch, strengthen and realign your body.  With Pilates’ whole-body approach, you not only feel great, but you also achieve:

• Strong core abdominals (the key to a healthy spine)
• Improved posture, balance and gait
• Increased flexibility and joint mobility
• Coordinated, pain-free movement
• Overall sense of vitality and well-being

If you are new to Pilates or new to Westside Workout, we invite you to experience a Reformer class taught by studio owner and 25-year Pilates veteran, Joan Habschmidt.

Space is limited to only 6 per class.  You MUST R.S.V.P. to reserve your Reformer. Please call us at 310.207.6334 or email us at westsideworkout@yahoo.com.
