About Attune

“I am uplifted by my progress so far…and I am convinced that Eva Pelegrin’s thorough, integrative approach will preserve enjoyable physical activity for the rest of my life.” M. Sachs - Attorney

“I have found a precious and rare gem in Eva Pelegrin and her approach to personal training… Eva teaches you to incorporate exercise/attitude changes that will benefit one for a lifetime!” S. Schwartz, M.D. - Physician

Drawing upon a wealth of personal experience as a competitive athlete and years of study with experts in Eastern and Western mind-body practices, Eva Pelegrin has developed a holistic approach to fitness and health that puts her on the leading edge of a wave of fresh thinking about how to achieve long-term wellbeing in the 21st Century. The founder of Attune® Holistic Fitness in Manhattan, Eva is a respected Holistic Fitness practitioner, expert trainer and functional movement specialist. She has also become an educator and trusted advisor to people of all ages who seek to take control of their own bodies and wellbeing – not just for the short-term, but for a lifetime.

Eva and her Holistic Fitness approach have been featured in the pages of Shape, Real Simple, Essence, and New York Magazine as well as in newspapers and online media. She has been interviewed on national television, Martha Stewart radio, and was the subject of an international feature on fitness by NHK (Japan’s national television network).

Eva’s array of fitness credentials speaks of her comprehensive professional skills: She is one of a relative handful of trainers nation-wide to have earned the title Fellow of Applied Functional Science (FAFS) from the internationally acclaimed Gray Institute. She is a NASM certified personal trainer (CPT), and a Wellcoaches® certified wellness coach (CWC), endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine. Eva is certified by world champion Valery Fedorenko as a Russian Kettlebell Coach (CKC), and she is also a certified instructor in the cutting-edge Circular Strength Training System (CST).

Like many who attain excellence in their profession, Eva’s life path helped stir the passion that informs her professional success. A native of Barcelona, Spain, Pelegrin was an avid fitness enthusiast and competitive rower in double and quad racing sculls during her school years. After earning a Masters degree in Advertising, she took her competitive drive to New York and eventually created her own agency. But like many, Eva found that the relentless stress and grueling international travel that comes with success in this business soon took a toll on her health. Suffering from chronic sleeplessness, weight gain and respiratory problems, Eva needed a solution. “I practiced Yoga and martial arts. I studied nutrition and explored different bodywork therapies” says Pelegrin, “but I discovered that no single practice held all the answers. It was only when I pieced them together into an integrated program for myself that I made progress that I could sustain.”

Eva returned to the conditioning exercises that she learned as an athletic competitor and integrated elements from Tai Chi and Yoga. She added acupuncture and a nutrition plan developed for her by a holistic practitioner. Eva’s personal holistic program soon restored her body to balance and, in turn, her health to normal. Thus, her quest to develop a practical method to help others achieve sustainable health and fitness was born. “It was a revelation when I discovered that there are certain natural principles that you must follow in order to achieve long-term results,” says Pelegrin, “now I can apply those principles at Attune to help anyone, regardless of their fitness goals, age or exercise history.”
