With Kate, it’s personal, it’s real, and it makes me smile. She listens. She observes. She engages. She cares. – Charles Elledge

Training with Kate Medley has changed my life. A few years ago, I could have never imagined taking any kind of fitness classes, let alone Pilates with a teacher one-on-one. Now I can’t imagine my life without it. Kate is so amazingly in tune with each of her clients, and she customizes every session to meet the physical and emotional needs of that day. No cookie-cutter approaches here. With Kate, it’s personal, it’s real, and it makes me smile. She listens. She observes. She engages. She cares.

In my opinion, Pilates is the gold standard for long term health and fitness for both men and women, especially when coupled with yoga. Group classes are great, and are an important part of a routine. But if you REALLY want to see results, it’s the personal Pilates training that makes the difference, and no one is better than Kate Medley. Sure, it’s an investment, but the dividends are HUGE.

And when I’m on the road or can’t make it to the lovely PilateZENergy studio, I train one-on-one live with Kate online. It’s a fantastic way to stay on track with my health goals anytime, anywhere.

If you haven’t already, give Pilates with Kate a try. You will not be disappointed! It will transform your body, your mind, and your life!

I have been a military physician for over 20 years, and was obviously devoted to the mental and physical health of our troops.
I therefore worked with many physical trainers, athletic coaches, and fitness experts.
Now that I am retired, I began to get unfit, and recently started working with Kate in a Pilates program.
I am delighted to have found some one who is so good.

She is technically competent (knows how to identify the problem and fix it), and psychologically skillful (knows how to motivate the client).
I have access to many gyms and health clubs, but plan to stick with Kate because she gets results.
I will soon move from being a fatso to a fitso.

She seems to have the ability to access a persons condition and create a session to match the client’s needs – DMS

About a year ago I met Kate. Previously she was connected with a studio that I had used for several years. My wife, a Pilates mat enthusiast, insisted I spend more supervised time with a “classical” reformer instructor. Best advice ever. I connected with Kate who has started her own studio, PilateZENergy and could not be more pleased. In contrast to other instructors she started with classical Pilates routines and quickly realized with my Parkinson’s a very customized program could provide specific exercises to offset the stiffness accompanying PD. I have enjoyed the relationship enormously; it has improved my posture and stamina. Kate has excellent credentials and I recommend her without hesitation for her ability to provide a program suited to one’s needs. Thanks Kate.

She will quickly find your level of function and proceed to push you to reach for improvement – Stephen G. Cline, Esq.

As a middle aged male suffering from the excesses of several decades of sports injuries, I was told Pilates might well provide some relief from the stiffness and soreness that plagued my everyday life. Knowing little about Pilates, I had the initial belief that this was a girl thing and I would look stupid… With the wrong instructor or program that may well have been true and I would have quit instantly as a result. However, Kate Medley is an extraordinary teacher with even more extraordinary patience. She can be warm and fuzzy but she and Pilates are not for the meek. She will quickly find your level of function and proceed to push you to reach for improvement and not just the same. She is an amazing motivator which flows directly from her larger than life personality. Young or old, strong or weak, Kate will find a program that works for you and you will be amazed at the improvement in your daily function. She is amazing!

She is knowledgeable, detailed and energetic ; her workouts concentrate on stretching and shaping specific body areas while focusing at all times on the core .

I have four kids, work full time, and Kate works with my challenging schedule to help me meet my health and fitness goals – Monica Curry

To help reduce lower back pain, my physical therapist recommended Pilates to strengthen my core. Then my surgeon advised I get as strong as possible pre shoulder surgery. Both advise I work with a trained instructor so as not to further aggravate injuries. I count my blessings to have found Kate Medley. Kate took the time to understand my injuries and limitations, then researched and planned routines to achieve improved fitness despite my limitations. Post surgery, Kate again assessed my condition and planned a workout to help me rehabilitate my shoulder, while continuing to strengthen my core. My surgeon was impressed with my physical therapy with Kate. My husband has noticed I am less prone to aches and pains and he has noticed how much I have toned up. Even my kids have remarked that I look a lot healthier. Kate continually assesses my condition and revises the workouts to meet my needs. I have four kids, work full time, and Kate works with my challenging schedule to help me meet my health and fitness goals. I previously thought I could not do Pilates because of injuries. Kate showed me I can and continues to show me how to get stronger. Thank you Kate!

So glad I found Pilates and ever so thankful to have found Kate! – Maria Stanley

I first met Kate when I entered the world of Pilates a few years ago. As a newbie and someone who is no longer considered a spring chicken, I was somewhat fearful, did not know what to expect. My cardiologist suggested I try Pilates and so I took the plunge. What a welcome experience! I met Kate and my life changed from that point on. Pilates, aside from being beneficial physically, has much to do with the level at which you practice, the goals you set and your ability to achieve them. It is difficult to make this journey alone, particularly when you are starting out. Kate, from the beginning, has guided and supported me and made the practice of Pilates interesting and fun. She has sort of a “built-in” awareness and sensitivity about her so that physical issues, if there are any, are dealt with easily and comfortably. Kate will never push you beyond your limitations but she will provide you with the necessary challenges you need so that you can get the most out of your workout. She listens, understands, offers ideas and evolves with you. No matter the situation, Kate will provide you with the appropriate structure and information which will lead to your success. So glad I found Pilates and ever so thankful to have found Kate!
