Im so glad you found me..
I cant wait to meet you and talk about your goals.
I’m Kate, certified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer, Spin Instructor, TRX, Barre… basically I love to learn how to move better and have fun while doing it.
After 10 years in the Wine Industry, I decided to stay home and raise our two young sons. I found the joy of bonding with other amazing people through group fitness a “must” to balance the rigors and chaos of raising kids. After years of enjoying every kind of fitness class I fell in love with teaching and furthering my education of movement, strength and health through Pilates, Spin, Barre and Yoga.
While some Pilates instructors pursue a single path of education, one master trainer, I knew I wanted to hear from many voices. Every instructor and Master Trainer has a difference “voice” and sees the body and the method in different ways. I have meticulously sought out each and every Master Trainer I worked with along my own journey to balance my approach. While I am certified through BalancedBody, I have trained with:
Kristen Iuppenlatz Grech (Mat), Kristen studied with four of the five first-generation Pilates teachers who were taught directly by Joseph and Clara Pilates, Owner of Pilates Home Practice Pilates Home Practice | Feel So Good You'll Dance In Your Kitchen
Tracey Mallett (Barre), professional dancer, world-renowned fitness and wellness expert, regular contributor to PilatesAnytime Tracey Mallett | About
Viktor Yugan (Reformer), inventor of the Konnect Method, Viktor Uygan (konnectmethod.com)
Nancy Myers (Springboard, Tower), Director of EHS Pilates Institute’s International Teacher Training Program, Nancy Myers » EHS Pilates Studio
Kelly Lombardi (Reformer), trained by First and Second-generation Pilates mentors Diane Diefenderfer, Romana Kryzanowska, and Ron Fletcher, Owner of Blue Moon Pilates, Team — Blue Moon Pilates
I believe in the power of the mind-body connection; a healthy body can change the way we think and feel. I know Pilates and movement is for every BODY.
Fitness has to be fun. I love the ever-changing challenge of creating classes and sessions that fit and motivate everybody to change for good.

Meet Fin
Fin is my Cavalier King Charlies Spaniel and spends his days in the studio with me, and soon with you!
He loves kisses and cuddles and has never met a stranger, only “future friends”. He loves to greet everyone as they come and go but your workout is exhausting and don't blame him if he sleeps through it on his bed.
Fin is in the studio because he’s spoiled rotten but also because:
Research has shown that simply petting a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol, while the social interaction between people and a dog actually increases levels of the feel-good hormone oxytocin.
He is literally here for your health.
