Reviews

"I’ve been doing private Pilates sessions with Kelsey (both in-person and virtually) for well over five years now, and in that time I have made enormous progress with my strength, flexibility, range of motion and balance issues. She strikes just the right mix of professionalism and friendliness. Her precision and well-honed communication skills make it easy for me to follow and perfect the many positions and movements and carry the Pilates principles over into the rest of my life. She has a very sharp eye, and whether I’m in front of her or on a webcam she observes every single muscle contraction and bone position—as well as if I’m breathing or not. I seem to have an Olympian capacity for holding my breath and she’s working to rid me of that habit and to use my breath to facilitate all the Pilates movements. She inspires me: I always feel better mentally as well as physically at the end of one of my workouts with her."

"I have been working with Kelsey for over 8 years, and I can say, without any hyperbole, that she has literally changed my life. Kelsey meets the client where they are. If something is tight, she moves to a less strenuous exercise. She is always encouraging and never lets you feel bad about not being able to finish an exercise movement. In fact, quite the opposite she is always ready to point out your progress, which helps make you feel encouraged and motivated. Although it was never a goal, for the first time in my life (and I am over 60) I have washboard abs!! I have introduced several friends to Kelsey and those friends adore working with Kelsey as much as I do. I recommend Kelsey without a second of hesitation, and would rate her 6 Stars (out of 5)...that's how terrific she is!”

"I have struggled with lower back pain since I was in my early 20s. Now, as long as I keep up what I have learned with her, I can have ZERO pain. I used to have trouble walking for more than 30 minutes, and even standing could become painful and I would need to lay down for a bit. I didn’t even know how much pain I was in! Working with Kelsey, my body feels different, even when I am standing to brush my teeth, because I am incorporating the methodology everywhere in my life. She has helped me to continue the practice even outside of our sessions, and given me help in life beyond our movement in Pilates. Kelsey is incredibly patient, warm, empathetic and kind. She will make you feel right at home, and at ease, from the moment you first see her on a zoom call, or in person. 13/10 is my final rating."

"Kelsey is incredible. She shows up to every session with a smile and the most amazing energy and she tailors the workouts to meet your needs. Over the many years we have worked together, Kelsey has helped me to recover from injuries, to meet fitness and health goals, and to just stay moving when work or pandemics tried to get in the way. And she is excellent at her craft: she studies, trains, and prepares thoroughly. A top-notch instructor; I could not recommend Kelsey more."

"Kelsey taught me Pilates for about two years. She’s always on time and prepared with a challenging class taking all my limitations into consideration. I’ve had an operation for a labrel hip tear and a back operation, so needless to say I’m not your average client. It takes a skilled instructor to work with those old injuries as it limits me both physically but more psychologically as I’m scared of getting re-injured. Kelsey has an excellent knowledge of the body and was able to build up my strength and confidence with her well thought through exercises. She was able to always facilitate a great environment for learning and encourage me to do better. I felt safe and increasingly stronger working with Kelsey. I can highly recommend her as a professional and knowledgeable Pilates instructor. "

"“Pilates is art and Kelsey, a master of that art world. I have been taking Pilates private sessions with her for over three years and it never ceases to amaze me - her ability to create. We have never done the same routine twice. Her choreography is ever changing. Her verbal cuing is tantamount to a painter's brush stroke; she uses words to help your body lengthen and find its lines. Also extraordinary is her ability to adapt to the needs of the body in front of her and produce results. During our early sessions, my goal was to strengthen my knee after an injury - mission accomplished. As we progressed, I requested to shift the focus to more side body lengthening, core stability and balance work so as to enhance my movements in ballet. Whatever request I made, Kelsey tailored our session to meet it. The impact it made outside of the Pilates studio was evident: finding more height in my relevés was a small triumph. Kelsey's understanding of Pilates and arsenal of exercises is seemingly infinite. As someone with a background in capoeira, gymnastics and dance, I need challenge and innovation. I am grateful to Kelsey for masterful sessions and bringing all of my favorite elements together through Pilates.”

"Kelsey was my pilates instructor for almost 3 years. I was doing more weight lifting types of work out before, but I completely switched to Pilates after I met her. Kelsey made my sessions fun and delightful, and she also made me so much stronger and flexible than before. I was always happy to have her as my instructor."

"Through our ongoing work together, Kelsey has helped build my core strength and target exercises to key areas specific to me, building my balance, fitness and confidence. She builds a unique and engaging class that is different every time we meet, and is available for questions, ideas and follow up between our sessions. Kelsey is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and wonderful to work with. Through my work with Kelsey, I was able to rehabilitate an injured hip and successfully train for the NYC Marathon, and to make the most of my other workouts beyond the marathon."
