Words from the practice.
A collection of notes from clients and members — private, duet, and in the rooms at Sweat. Kept here in their own voices.
“After two car accidents and three years in physio, I was left with limited mobility and daily pain. Kate was able to do what physio could not. After only one year of working with her my pain is much reduced and my strength, flexibility and balance are the best they've been in many years. She is amazing and I'm deeply grateful to be her client.”
“She's the kind of Pilates instructor who makes you feel both seen and capable. Her focus on form and precision is unmatched, her energy is calm and grounding, and you can tell she's genuinely invested in helping you get stronger. A total gem.”
“If you're looking for a strength trainer / mental therapist / pilates guru / nutrition wizard / all-around superhero rolled into one human being, let me introduce you to Kate. She isn't just a strength trainer who can turn your legs into steel; she's also a Pilates guru who can make your core discover muscles it didn't know existed. And just when you're questioning all your life choices mid-plank, boom, she switches into mental-health-therapist mode and somehow talks you through your existential crisis while still counting your reps. Oh, and did I mention she's a nutritionist too? Kate is like the Swiss Army knife of wellness — compact, efficient, and alarmingly good at fixing your life. Highly recommend.”
“Kate is a ray of sunshine who goes above and beyond any trainer/instructor I've ever worked with. She checks in with you each session to evaluate where you are at so the workout is tailored not only to your goals, but where you are mentally and physically that day. She somehow is able to ride the line of being both gentle and pushing you simultaneously. She really cares about each and every one of her clients.”
“I've had the pleasure of working with Kate over the past year, and she has been exceptional. My strength, stability, and confidence have grown tremendously under her guidance, and the positive impact has extended to both my body and mind. She has an incredible gift for meeting you where you are, encouraging you with equal parts expertise and compassion, and helping you surpass goals you didn't think were possible.”
“Kate is an exceptional expert in Pilates. The class, while challenging (which is what I look for), balances a great workout with not pushing too hard where you can get hurt. It is really important at my age that the instructor knows how to do both. She is inspirational!”
“Working out with Kate is the best part of my week. Her classes are always different and so fun, and tailored to my individual needs. My body and my mind feel so much better after each session. Thank you, Kate!”
“Kate is an absolutely incredible instructor. She is so supportive and constantly pushing us to our limits.”
“I highly recommend Kate as a Pilates instructor. I'm 75, with various aches, pains and injuries, hoping to increase my comfort and longevity and trim my girlish figure. I decided to try Pilates for the first time and I found Kate. She knows her stuff when it comes to Pilates instruction and use of the reformer. She tailors my workouts to be fun, varied, within my capabilities and appropriately challenging. She is knowledgeable, patient, sensitive to my needs and really nice.”
“I've been to a million Pilates classes, but Kate's are hands down my favorites. She is so creative and the nicest instructor.”
“Kate is a Pilates Queen! Mic drop…”
“Challenging class. Kate is a fabulous instructor. She worked with me on modifications for my personal needs. Highly recommend.”
“Kate was amazing. It was my first time doing Pilates and she helped me feel very comfortable, and came by to check on me periodically to make sure I was feeling good. Thank you, Kate!”
“Great pace, full-body workout. Added adjustments to increase or decrease intensity were spot on. 10/10.”
“I will go out of my way to take Kate's classes. A well-balanced class appropriate for many levels, a great playlist and lots of positive energy. Turned a meh day into a better one.”
“Kate's music is great. Doesn't feel like a workout class. Fun, creative and super challenging at the same time. Always sore the next day — that's what I came for.”
“Kate is consistent and very empowering. She asks each person about their body specifics and needs. She also recommends adjustments, which helps a lot with people who'd like more or less of a challenge. Highly recommend.”
“I'm five months pregnant and I was so grateful for all of Kate's suggestions and feedback in class. It was challenging but not overwhelming. I so enjoyed it.”
“A really lovely class. It turned my day around, honestly.”
“What do you get when you mix yoga and Pilates and strength? Kate's class. A+.”
“Kate was amazing. Really restorative stretches combined with very intense lengthening, toning movements — this class was the perfect balance.”
“So far my favorite instructor at Sweat. I am new to Pilates and she let me modify as needed. Her cues were clear and I was able to get through hard exercises. My body felt strong. Thanks, Kate!”
“Kate was amazing. The best ever. Perfect class — just book it.”
“Kate is awesome!”
“Kate is AMAZING. She's a positive, motivational coach. Kate always checks in with whomever she's working with, making sure the workout is tailored especially for you.”
“Kate is so great at what she does. She tailors your experience perfectly and is so good at knowing how to push you to get you the best results. She has taught me and helped me so much.”
“Kate is AMAZING. I can't say enough positive things about her. She's tough, while being compassionately in touch with your individual situation. Always positive and very motivational — she works out right alongside you, ensuring you are using proper form and working to your potential.”
“If you wanna shake for days, Kate's classes are for you.”
“Awesome class. Kate is great. Although, I almost crawled under my reformer to hide and take a break — best class ever.”

“I came in with modifications. Kate was so helpful. She truly is such an amazing instructor. If you're going to take a class, take Kate's.”
“Kate checked in with each of us before class, taught some killer unique moves and gave helpful demos on the reformer. Will be back.”
“Getting my summer bod with Kate. Perfect class every time.”
“She's so creative with her classes. I feel so strong when I leave. Thanks, Kate!”
“That was an awesome class. Pushed the limits of my body. Highly recommend.”
“I loved Kate's class. I felt it was a good workout and good level of challenge, and she was super attentive — corrected form if needed. Will definitely be back.”
“Kate was my favorite Pilates instructor for years and only recently in the last few months have worked out with her in a personal training setting. I had spent years inactive and really fighting workouts. Now that I'm working out with Kate, I feel genuine excitement on the days I have a session. A real miracle! In the last three months, I have gained strength, confidence, and a more positive and healthy frame of mind. I'm so grateful for her energy and care. She imbues everything she does with intention and deep empathy, making it a joy to sweat and struggle multiple times a week. She's also such a fun hang and the time flies by — she's endlessly curious about how to improve her clients' lives. Feeling lucky to have her in my life!”
“She is truly the best! So warm and welcoming, and somehow manages to make a seriously challenging workout feel like it flies by. Her classes are the perfect combination of hard work and actually having fun — like eating something super healthy and being shocked that it tastes amazing. 😂 I always leave feeling stronger, happier, and so glad I came. She creates such a positive, encouraging atmosphere without ever making it feel intimidating. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kate is the most amazing teacher! Her classes are challenging - you’ll definitely sweat! But she’s always encouraging and very supportive. She also makes every class so fun and lighthearted. I love that the routines are always different, with creative exercises and new props. I always leave feeling stronger and in a better mood!”
“Kate has been an absolute asset to my weekly self care. She has such great knowledge and passion with working the body, and looking at how she can work the areas that I want to improve. My strength has increased greatly because of my weekly sessions and she continues to challenge me in the most positive way. I look forward to every session with Kate!”

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”
