I was so intimidated when I started Pilates, but Gold Coast is so kind and accessible that I felt welcomed from my first class. The classes are small and the instructors are wonderful, and I saw improvements in my strength right away. I’ve been regularly attending for about 2 years now, and I still always look forward to my classes. I highly recommend Gold Coast for people of all ages who are looking to invest in their strength and fitness and to be of a supportive and welcoming community.

The crew at GCPT is so supportive, welcoming and knowledgeable! I have just had my 100th class this year and my practice has been key to my recovery from bunion reconstruction surgery and overall improvement in balance and gaining strength. My classes are my favorite part of my wellness practice, a very special place!

Gold Coast Pilates is my new favorite place, and Sophie is an incredible instructor. I have been looking for a pilates studio locally in the North Shore of MA, for over a year + and I have finally found Gold Coast. Immediately after completing 2 classes, I purchased a membership. Sophie’s cueing is crystal clear—she breaks down each movement so you know exactly how to move and adjust your body. I was initially nervous to go from the Red Light Reformer Class up to the Progressive Red Light Reformer, fearing it would be 'scary' or too difficult. But Sophie creates a flow, where each exercise is accessible yet challenging. I am so excited to continue my pilates practice at Gold Coast and try more classes!

Great pilates studio with knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Classes are small enough to get personal instruction on form which I need. My posture and overall health have improved. Beyond grateful to be part of this wonderful community!

A special thank you to Sophie, Kristen and Eme 🫶🏽

This year’s resolution was to start working out regularly. I didn’t have time and energy after I had a baby, but definitely needed it, was a little nervous to start it since I’d never done Pilates reformer before and didn’t worked out since becoming pregnant. I tried Pilates Reformer and loved it, now I’m hooked. I’ve been doing it since January (so about 6 months) and already feel stronger physically and mentally better too, and since I have a toddler, I need to be strong, healthy and energetic to keep up with her. My instructor is Sophie, she’s very patient and explains everything perfectly. Highly recommend even if you never tried it before!

I can’t recommend Gold Coast enough! I started with a private lesson where Kristen took the time to understand my goals and injury history and taught me how to use the reformer. I’ve been going at least weekly since, and classes with Kristen and Sophie have been great every time! I feel encouraged to keep coming back and challenging myself. Kristen has been so thorough with adjustments for my injury and this is the longest I’ve gone without a re-injury in the past 6 years. I just hit my 30 class mark and am excited to continue. Thank you!!

I've been loving my intro to reformer pilates through the Gold Coast Core Curriculum series with Sophie! There's plenty of focus on technique to make build confidence about the foundational moves and exercises, but it's also dynamic and challenging enough to make you feel like you got a real workout in! It's been the best medicine postpartum and a wonderful compliment to more cardio-heavy workouts at home. The studio is lovely and I look forward to my time at Gold Coast every week!

Gold Coast Pilates is the best! I have enjoyed the Lifestyle Reformer classes with Kristen for the last year and a half! As I get older, I feel the need to modify how I exercise and Kristen has helped me with her PT knowledge. I highly recommend Gold Coast Pilates to anyone of any age who wants to improve their strength and balance!

Gold Coast Pilates is a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable environment that I look forward to each week. It has made me feel stronger in a short amount of time and helped me recover and gain confidence with an ongoing back injury. Can’t recommend highly
enough.

Gold Coast Pilates has provided me with the opportunity to feel more connected with my body after I struggled for quite a while to understand how my body had changed after two babies. It feels good to come to a place where I can just focus on movement and breathing. It is quite literally like having a breath of fresh air in my life. All the instructors I’ve taken classes with have been very knowledgeable and encouraging. Kristen in particular takes time to make sure every student is comfortable with the equipment and understands how the exercises are helping us build our strength. I can’t thank Gold Coast Pilates enough for creating an environment where I feel comfortable and increasingly confident with what my body can do.

I started taking classes at Gold Coast Pilates last summer and they quickly became part of my weekly routine! I absolutely the love the variety of classes - from back to basics, to a traditional lifestyle reformer to power to jump. I've hit the 30 class threshold and am now working on the 100's board!

My previous Pilates experience was in larger classes where instruction moves forward whether you're ready or not. I've loved being a part of two to five person classes where we all receive the attention we need to succeed. Kristin & Eme are fantastic instructors who are dedicated to the safety and progression of their students :)

“My one on one session with Eme was fantastic! It was my introduction to Pilates and I can't wait to do and learn more. She is clearly passionate, knowledgeable & enthusiastic about Pilates & the theory behind it. Very patient and able to adapt to specific needs - signs of a great trainer. I look forward to working with her again.”

Pilates is an important part of my fitness routine. It helps me stay active by moving my body in challenging but achievable ways. I look forward to class each week and the new challenges it brings. I am in my early 70s and Kristen helps me feel younger and stronger. Pilates is my “me” time. And doesn’t everyone need more of that?

If you are looking for a place to start your Pilates journey, then this is where you should begin. Kristen and Eme are so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind. I was new to Pilates and was very intimidated by using the reformer. After one class I knew I had stumbled upon a workout that really suited my needs. I thoroughly enjoy how you are focused on your mind and body while performing Pilates. It is in no way competitive, you are honing your skills and challenging your body to become stronger and trust what your body is capable of. I have struggled with chronic migraines, Pilates has helped me develop a lot of strength in my upper body as well as help reduce my stress. I always leave class feeling strong and motivated.

Amazing! Kristen was incredible. I had a private session with her today. I was quite the client, seeing as: 1) I had never done the reformer before, 2) I have an extensive injury history, and; 3) I can’t recall my last Pilates mat or chair class. All of that being the case, Kristen put me at ease immediately, and made me feel very comfortable. She is very informed, attentive, helpful and articulate. I am very happy a friend referred me here. All of my questions were answered articulately, thoroughly, and with good humor. Kristen was excellent at cueing me and has a keen eye for form, focus, and all physical factors. I am so glad I got a new client class/private combo package, and I highly recommend it! I am excited to work with Sophie as well, next week. Truly, I already feel a difference in my awareness of my posture, and relief in my neck and jaw. I think I’ll sign up for the Core Curriculum too; cause I already can hardly wait to be back!

I took my first ever pilates class yesterday, I did a private lesson with Kristen for me and my mom. Kristen was knowledgeable, friendly, and made both of us very comfortable the whole time. Since Kristen is a physical therapist she was able to make the appropriate adjustments for our injuries. Her studio is easy to find, clean, and bright. Highly recommend!

I just had my first Pilates class with Kristen and I’m hooked! I started with a private class to gain an understanding on the equipment and movements. Kristen was so informative and I enjoyed also learning about the reasoning behind the movements. I can’t wait to be back!

As a new mom I was unsure about how to workout and needed guidance on what was safe to do. Kristen's vast expertise as a PT and Pilates professional made me feel completely comfortable as she guided me through specific dos and don'ts based on my postpartum recovery. As a result she has transformed me to love going to Pilates and I leave every class thinking "that was so much fun." Would recommend GCPT time and time again!

I’ve been a GCPT attendee for over a year, and Kristen has truly been a game-changer in my Pilates journey. Her expertise in Physical Therapy has been instrumental in addressing my injuries, making each class not only effective but also tailored to my needs as well as other participants. Kristen and Eme’s professionalism, energy, punctuality, and support for local businesses create a welcoming atmosphere at GCPC. Whether you’re cross-training, enhancing your workout, or working through injuries, I highly recommend this studio. Plus, the weekly email GIFs always put a smile on my face!

I have really loved Kristen's Pilates classes for postnatal moms. It is the right level for someone recovering from delivering a baby and Kristen focuses it on the areas of the body that need strengthening after a baby and during caregiving (like the strain you put on your back lifting an infant or baby gear). I would definitely recommend it.

Kristen is amazing! She has been helping me to strengthen and restore my core and pelvic floor after giving birth two months ago. We have been working via telehealth which has been amazing as it’s not as easy to get out to appointments these days. Kristen is knowledgeable and passionate and take the time to explain things clearly throughout our sessions. She often checks in to see how my body is feeling and makes sure I feel comfortable yet challenged. I highly, highly recommend!!
