Katya is amazing. The attention to detail and overall professionalism is on a completely different level from any other instructor I have worked with. Even after a relatively short time, I feel much better and see significant improvement. Highly recommended.

I have been taking private sessions with Katya , the owner of this studio for many years. She is just the right mix of tough and kindness. I just had the opportunity to see and workout at the new studio. What a treat. It is warm and serene and just outright beautiful. For the record I rarely leave reviews but I believe this new studio and this trainer deserve it.

Highly recommend Life by Pilates. Katya is the most experienced Pilates instructor I have met and I’ve worked out with quite a few. The beauty of Life by Pilates sessions is the personal attention to detail, consistent adjustments and steady progression to your best form- strong and beautiful.

I was looking for a trainer to finally help me regain core strength after having a baby 2 years ago. I’m so happy I found Katya! She creates such a warm and calming environment, is super knowledgeable, and gives great cues when explaining how to do something. I’m enjoying learning about Pilates and the different machines, and in only 7 weekly sessions I am starting to feel and see results.

Pilates is more than the fluidity of the movement
It’s also the spirit technique and feeling of accomplishment

At life by pilates you get all that and more ❤️
Having been a pilates student for over 15 years this is by far the best experience for the novice to the expert
The proof is the smile on your face , smile in your core and the smile in your heart

Katya has been an amazing teacher and friend since seeing her mid-pregnancy. I was having trouble finding a skilled Pilates instructor (after having just moved) who would be talented and patient with me when I would have to bring my toddler along for the workout.
I initially spoke to Katya about wanting to do Pilates because I saw a difference in baby’s position comparing past pregnancies when I did and did not do Pilates. And having seen her this current pregnancy, my baby has been in an ideal position for birth. I believe that’s because of Katya’s training.
She is so kind to have taken me in mid-pregnancy and with a young child. It takes a calm and patient person to tolerate my situation. I will continue to see her postpartum and truly believe she will be the reason my body will heal much faster than in the past.
I highly recommend her, as she truly cares and knows what she is doing.

I have been with working with Katya for over 6 months now. We do weekly sessions. She is consistent and reliable. I have scoliosis and a history of bunion surgery. She works with me and my body to help improve it in all aspects. I have gotten more flexible, stronger and more in tune with my body. I am so lucky to have found and her to be working with her.

I've been attending Katya's classes for about five months. I've found Katya to be an incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and patient Pilates instructor.

In her sessions, she guides you through Pilates exercises giving corrections as needed, but she is also very good at noting your weakness and working with you on specific exercises to strengthen those areas. In this way, she does an amazing job balancing challenging you while meeting you where you are at physically. Her attentiveness and feedback make her classes not just a good work out, but also something like a guided lesson in proprioceptive skill.

Katya definitely has my highest possible recommendation!

I hadn't been flexible since childhood. After becoming fed up with my constant stiffness due to lifting in the gym I decided to finally try pilates. Within weeks Katya helped me regain limberness and pliability. Not only do I feel better in day to day life, but I also feel a tangible difference across all of my lifts.

As for Katya, she is both patient and encouraging - exactly what you want in an instructor.

I’ve taken pilates with Katya for 10 weeks now and it has been an excellent experience. Katya is an incredible teacher and pays close attention to things such as posture and form. While working with her I’ve seen improvement to my strength and flexibility. She is profoundly knowledgeable on the body and how it moves. Im always eager to attend her sessions and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in pilates!

I’ve been taking privates with Katya for over 18 months and my body has completely changed. There is a noticeable and obvious difference in my core and arm strength, as well as flexibility. Moves I used to not be able to do at classes like SLT I can now complete with ease on the highest setting. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I had broken 4 vertebrae in my back. After 8 months of healing and inactivity, my friend recommended Katya. I cannot recommend her enough. Katya is incredibly knowledgeable of how the body parts work together and put together a workout plan that fit the needs of my healing body. She has fixed my slumping posture, given me back the inches in my height that I lost, straightened out my left foot that always turned inward and given me my strength back. I look forward to my workouts every week and when she can squeeze me in for extra sessions. It's incredible to see and feel the results of her program. Highly recommend.
