Crescent Trail Pilates, Fairport NY

Kate is a wonderful woman who truly cares for her clients. As passionate about Pilates as she is, she is equally as concerned about the overall well being of each and every one of her clients. I began working with her a few years ago while I was recovering from a long term illness. Our private lessons together were very productive as she individualized a plan for me that gave me confidence in regaining strength and encouraged me to keep working my body as I recovered. Fast forward a few years and I now attend advanced classes at her studio. Never did I think I would be in an advanced class when I first started working with her. During class she has a keen eye to help me make small corrections and adjustments to work my body to its true potential. She motivates and encourages me to use my strength, all the while listening to any feedback I may have. She is very attentive to each of her clients overall health and well being, and is quick to make individualized modifications for us when necessary. She is a master at her craft and has created a loving studio with great community. I feel confident, supported, encouraged, cared for, challenged, and healthy while in her presence. If you are looking for the whole package, look no further. She is the best!

Kate is an exceptionally thoughtful and creative Pilates teacher! Her knowledge of the human body, how it moves, and how to demonstrate specific Pilates movements is incredible. After injuring my lower back, her diligence and attention has helped me rehab and avoid any painful recurring episodes. I surpassed my original baseline of flexibility, strength, and balance and am amazed at what I can now accomplish with my body. It takes a little time but the benefits of each session compound! I recommend anyone of any age / fitness level to consider Crescent Trail Pilates!

I have taken reformer classes with Kate exclusively online for a year and a half. Kate is the best and most encouraging instructor, I have ever had the pleasure of learning from - in any sport or hobby. I went from knowing nothing about Pilates, to practicing twice a week and feeling confident in the movements and feeling fortified in my core. For background, I am out of state and found her zoom reformer class by googling. I was not sure what to expect trying Pilates for the first time, having purchased a small reformer from Amazon. Kate was sure to go slow at first, providing helpful resources and supplementary training on the mat. She is so precise that I rarely even look at the screen for visual directions and it feels like she's in the room with me, because she is so good at describing movements in a way that's intuitive and recommending micro changes as needed. She is also incredibly caring, tuning in to what my body needs each session to cater specifically to me, while also pushing me to challenge myself. I'm so lucky to have found Crescent Trail Pilates and can't recommend Kate enough - to new and experienced students alike!
