About Us

Radical Change Pilates & Wellness is a boutique somatic-focused pilates studio led by Andrea Kane, a veteran movement and bodywork practitioner with over 35 years of experience.

At the heart of the studio is the Radical Change Method™, a precise, body-informed approach to Pilates that was developed during Andrea’s personal journey recovering from four total knee replacements. With a structurally realigned body, she had to rebuild how she moved from the ground up—not in theory, but in reality. Every cue, sequence, and progression in this method was tested in her own body first, under real pressure.

This method exists because it had to work—and it does.

Studio Philosophy

Radical Change Is a Method, Not a Trend

At Radical Change Pilates & Wellness, we don’t follow fitness trends. We don’t chase aesthetics. We don’t teach movement for entertainment.

We teach a method designed to help you live well inside your body—for the long term.

The Radical Change Method™ was developed through decades of clinical practice, real-body results, and the lived process of recovering from four total knee replacements. It’s a system that understands that each human moves in their own unique way and this system of movements will feel differently in each body. Its a system that centers somatic connection, alignment, breath, decompression and nervous system regulation.

It’s functional, intelligent movement that restores what life, injury, or disconnection may have taken.

Our Core Beliefs:

  • Aging well happens with intention. The habits you build now shape the strength, balance, stability, posture and mobility you carry into every decade.

  • Your spine and pelvis are central. From digestion and breath to sleep and balance everything improves when your spine moves well and your pelvis moves freely.

  • Consistency matters more than intensity. Radical change is created through the choice to make your functional body a priority. Our classes offer varying level of challenge depending on your energy and capability.

  • You don’t have to perform to be strong. Power comes from awareness, breath, and grounded support; not a performance toward perfection.

What Makes Our Studio Different

We are not a studio focused on Pilates for aesthetics.
We don’t train bodies to look a certain way.
We train bodies to last a lifetime.

This is Pilates for a spine that holds you upright at 90.
For joints that move with confidence.
For digestion, sleep, balance and presence.
For a life that is lived well, in a body you trust.

Who We Serve

  • Adults dealing with pain, instability, or exhaustion from poor movement habits (Your best start begins with a 1:1 session)

  • Clients recovering from surgery, injury, or years of disconnection from their body (Private 1:1 highly recommended)

  • Individuals actively resisting the cultural decline into kyphosis, frailty, and chronic low-back pain

  • Those who want guidance, not guessing - tactile cueing, small-group attention and real body education

Why It Works

  • Restores spinal and pelvic alignment and decompresses tension

  • Anchors strength in deep stabilizer muscles for real-world function

  • Rewires neural and motor patterns and builds nervous system regulation

  • Fosters consistency that carries through decades and the empowerment borne from choosing yourself as a priority

The Radical Change Method™ teaches you to show up in your body—again and again—with clarity, curiosity, and care.

Where Movement Transforms More Than Just Muscles

Radical Change Pilates & Wellness isn’t just a studio, it’s a story. One of resilience, reinvention, and realizing a vision that began over a decade ago.

Back in 2013, co-founder Andrea Kane was leading a thriving solo massage and Pilates practice in Coronado, CA. Her clients included athletes from BUDs, SEALS, NFL, professional and amateur cyclists, pro baseball and more. Her clients also included executives, senators, teachers, moms, dads and retired folks who know that movement is life. But life, as it does, had other plans. After a total knee replacement at 48, followed by the other knee and two revision surgeries, a divorce, and a beautiful new chapter of love, the once “outrageous” dream of building a studio became a necessary reality.

Founded on Experience. Fueled by Change.

In May 2023, Andrea Kane and co-founder William Randolph opened the doors to Radical Change Pilates & Wellness in Bankers Hill, San Diego. This isn’t your traditional Pilates studio. We blend the precision of classical Pilates with the intuition of somatic movement and a contemporary approach that welcomes every body regardless of age, size, or fitness history.

Our space is more than a place to move—it’s a place to heal, connect, and evolve. We believe in honoring where you are, while gently guiding you to where you want to be. Leaning into this growth, Andrea recently finished training and certification as a Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator, using plant medicine to aid in somatic integration.
