Fernanda Costa

Co-owner & Instructor

Queen Pilates Originally from Brazil, Fernanda Costa moved to San Diego in 2006 to work as a live-in nanny and learn English after earning her degree in Publicity and Advertising. In 2012, she discovered her true passion when she began her Pilates Teacher Training, and since then, she has dedicated her career to helping others improve their health and well-being through the Pilates method. Over the years, Fernanda has worked at several Pilates studios, gaining valuable experience and deepening her love for teaching. Now, as the proud owner of Queen Pilates, she’s excited to create a welcoming space where clients feel strong, confident, and cared for. When she’s not teaching, Fernanda enjoys spending time with her husband, their two boys, and their adorable Shih Tzu. She loves being outdoors, traveling to new places, and cooking (and eating!) her favorite Brazilian dishes.
