Meet Our Founders: Cristian & Holly Andronicescu

Welcome to Sunset Pilates, where elite athleticism meets precise movement science. Founded by husband-and-wife team Cristian and Holly Andronicescu, our studios in Palm Beach and Boynton Beach represent a premium evolution in fitness. As Certified Master Pilates Instructors, they have combined their world-class expertise to create a sanctuary built on body transformation, structural strength, and high-performance longevity.

One Great Brand, Two Premier Locations

In 2024, Cristian and Holly officially rebranded and merged Sunset Pilates with their Boynton Beach studio. This powerful union brought their signature methodology under a single, cohesive banner. Today, Sunset Pilates operates across two exclusive, state-of-the-art locations in Palm Beach and Boynton Beach, delivering the same unparalleled standard of boutique fitness to both communities.

Cristian Andronicescu: The Master Mind Behind the Method

Born and raised in Romania, Cristian’s lifelong passion for human performance led him to a career as an elite personal trainer and master movement specialist. As a Certified Master Pilates Instructor & Personal Trainer with an intense focus on biomechanics and structural control, Cristian recognized a massive gap between traditional heavy weight training and standard Pilates.

To bridge this gap, he developed a proprietary training system: Strength Pilates for Hypertrophy. By merging the deep core stabilization of the reformer with targeted resistance principles, Cristian’s methodology sculpts lean muscle, corrects structural imbalances, and delivers dramatic, measurable results.

Holly Andronicescu: From Elite Acrobat to IFBB Pro

Holly’s journey with movement began at the highest level of physical artistry. As a former professional acrobat, ballerina, and now a Certified Master Pilates Instructor, she has spent her life mastering the limits of flexibility, balance, and core control.

Applying Cristian’s unique hypertrophy methodology to her own training, Holly completely transformed her physique and transitioned into the elite world of competitive bodybuilding. Her dedication culminated in winning the overall title at the prestigious NPC Universe competition, earning her the elite status of IFBB Professional Bodybuilder. Holly brings this elite, champion-level mindset to every client she mentors.

The Sunset Pilates Vision

After meeting while performing on a cruise ship, Cristian and Holly combined their strengths to build something extraordinary. They took over Sunset Pilates and evolved it from a modest space into a premier, high-end wellness destination.

Today, as industry leaders who train the next generation of movement professionals, they focus strictly on personalized, one-on-one client training and elite instructor education. Whether you are looking to completely sculpt your physique, recover from an injury, or master your movement, Cristian and Holly welcome you to experience the ultimate standard in Pilates.

Developed exclusively for Sunset Pilates, his approach bridges the gap between traditional heavy lifting and functional structural control.

The method is highly results-driven and gained notable recognition after Cristian’s wife and co-owner, Holly, utilized it to build her award-winning physique and win the overall title at the NPC Universe bodybuilding championships, gaining her entry in the IFBB Pro League.
