Ken Gilbert is a gifted teacher. I am fortunate to have been his Pilates student for nearly 10 years! He has changed my life and I’m sure many, many others, all for the better.

I’ve been working with Ken for 2 years now and have grown tremendously in my core strength, stability, and ability to move my body as a system - not just parts. As a grandmother of 2 small grandchildren I have been able to climb into and out of some very challenging spaces that I would not have attempted before working with Ken. I can move with confidence again!

Two years ago I underwent life-changing brain surgery. Close friends recommended I try out Ken’s classes to support my recovery. Today pilates and NIA are an essential part of my life and well-being. Ken’s depth of knowledge of the work together with his dedication and commitment to his students is quite exceptional. I’m very grateful to be a part of this community.

I am a violinist. I have worked with Ken Gilbert for 14 years. I am continually amazed that in every class I take with him that he finds, and shares new awarenesses about how the body works. I would not to be able to play my violin as much and frequently as I do if it weren’t for his constant demand of all of us that we remain present and aware and capable in our bodies In everything we do. I am continually grateful that he shares his ability and knowledge with us.

Ken is an amazing Pilates instructor and coach. I have been going to classes for several years and it has made an amazing difference in my body. I have no more back pain because I’ve learned to build and use different muscles. I can’t praise Ken enough for being so dedicated. He commands that you do the best work your body needs for longevity!

Ken has been my trainer for quite a few years. My health and well-being are excellent (in my mid-seventies), as a result of his work. His classes and private sessions are re-programming my body.

How could I (or anyone) get to be 60+ and not know how to properly operate the one body I was issued?
I have never stuck with a “fitness program” for long, so it is impressive that Ken Gilbert’s classes have become a permanent entry in my calendar around which the rest of life revolves. His knowledge of and passion for the work, the supportive environment of the class, and the results I’m seeing in myself will keep me coming for years. One long-term member of our class is over 90; a true testament to the value and effectiveness of Ken’s teaching.
The gift of lifelong mobility. Thank you Ken!

I am a 17 year old lacrosse player and have worked with Ken Gilbert for the past few months. I originally got into Pilates due to my grandparents, but quickly became drawn in by Ken’s vast knowledge and the experience, since then I have boosted my athletic abilities and most of all my awareness within body. Ken is a phenomenal teacher and an even better mentor.

I am a 70's something woman and I have been working with Ken Gilbert for two plus years in his downtown Santa Barbara studio setting. It is a very comfortable and safe environment. My individual pilates sessions are personal and address my needs. Some bodywork involves breaking old habits, and some work helps me discover how to put the parts and pieces of my body together in a new and healthy way. I realize now that everything is connected.
Ken is methodical, respectful, supportive and encouraging as he works with me, and helps me to move forward in a positive way.
I have worked with other pilates instructors over the years, however none of their work compares to the standards held by Ken!

I have been taking classes from Ken for the past 25 years. I can truly say that his work with his clients, including myself is transformational. He facilitates my having the best body that I can have as I go through the aging process. I have lived for 77 wonderful years and look forward to many more
years with vibrant health and body mastery. Ken teaches with passion, and a heightened awareness of where each person is in their journey and facilitation on how to move forward.
If you are looking for a Pilates master teacher, Ken is the person for you.
