Petit Pilates has truly become one of my favorite places. From the moment you walk in, it feels welcoming, calming, and so intentional. The studio is beautiful, clean, and such a positive space to move your body in. Kat is hands down one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. She explains everything so clearly, makes sure your form is perfect, and somehow knows exactly when you need a little extra encouragement. You can tell she genuinely cares about every single person in the room. She pushes you in the best way possible while still making you feel supported and confident. Every class leaves me feeling stronger physically and mentally. I always walk out feeling accomplished, challenged, and proud of myself. If you’re looking for a studio that makes you feel seen, motivated, and empowered, Petit Pilates with Kat is it. 🤎

I absolutely love working with Kathryn. I started reformer pilates this year and Kathryn has been so patient and thorough in her teaching. I’m now in love with this form of exercise and want to invite all my family and friends to it. I feel confident in knowing Kathryn will help me work towards my health and strength goals. I definitely feel stronger and healthier after starting my work with her. I always feel great after every session. So happy she finally has her own studio!

I am a fairly active senior 85+, who has had Pilates with Kathryn more than 3 years. I stopped going several weeks ago, mistakenly thinking I was too old to continue. During those weeks my balance became questionable and my strength was waning. I had not realized my agility was a result of Pilates. I recently returned to Pilates with Kathryn and I am certain, under her direction, I can regain what I lost. I might note, I also missed being in her company every week, and that relaxed feeling after a session with Kathryn.

I’ve been working with Kathryn for many years in the classroom environment and privates and love her method! This new studio is refreshing, well appointed, professional with plenty of space to get your Pilates on, whatever your level. Amazing studio!

If I’m being honest, five stars isn’t enough for Kathryn! For a while, I had been hoping to find a small class or one on one because I have many physical issues so I knew I needed guidance while doing Pilates. After trying elsewhere and not finding a fit, I found Kathryn who I have now been working with weekly for three months and she is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I feel myself getting more balanced in my body and strengthening the areas that so desperately needed strengthening. Not only is she an incredibly kind human being, but she is so amazingly wise regarding the body and movement and I have never felt so safe and inspired while exercising. She meets you where you’re at so whether you’re already a Pilates champion or just starting out, whether you’re young or old, Kathryn will help you in the exact way that’s best for you and your body. Every week I leave there filled with gratitude.
