pilates will change your life

"You are a total goddess. Just wanted to affirm that. Had an amazing day (and night) skiing yesterday. Even jumped a ledge and survived. Knee deep powder most of the day. So it was intense. Thanks for putting Humpty Dumpty back together again!"

I wanted to let you know how wonderful my hip feels today.

I slept well last night. That rarely happens. I am truest grateful for the solo yesterday."

"Kirsten has the amazing ability to connect with her clients in providing direction and pointers that turn on that particular movement or muscle in our bodies. Kirsten’s professional background is so invaluable as she understands the human body. My “at home” practice has progressed so well since connecting with Kirsten. No more back pain!

Brenda S.

"I woke up feeling my butt and my core - how turned on AND connected they are (aka sore, but in a lovely way). Both my body and my brain are so intrigued and interested in it all right now. I love learning with, and from, you!"

"Kirsten provides high level Pilates workouts with a cheerful smile and a hug. She'll brighten your day, make you stronger, help correct your body's injuries, challenge you and make you sweat all in one visit! I've been doing Pilates with her since she started and I'm not planning to stop anytime soon!"

"Pilates is addictive. It makes you feel good. It is a physical feeling of well-being: get stronger, move better, improve posture. It is an emotional feeling of clarity and content. Pilates is a deep and mindful practice which connects the mind-body through increased awareness of the body in general and of inner core muscles specifically. Clear guidance truly matter in Pilates and a good Pilates teacher is a rare gift, because she/he makes practice really efficient. Kirsten is a dream Pilates teacher. Her experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, complete focus on a practitioner, genuine love and kindness to people radiate through her guidance, and as a result, her classes make you feel better, make you be better. At first, it seems like she aims to get you to use these deep core muscles, but at some point you realise that classes with her improve quality of life overall. Thank you Kirsten."

Love this welcoming and loving community! It’s an amazing chance to meet other movement lovers and share the love for Pilates no matter what is your background. There’s always more to learn from each other. I enjoy how much the group inspires me whether it is a new exercise or new cueing to try. I appreciate Kirsten’s effort to make such community where all pilates teachers with different backgrounds get together to just nerd out and learn about Pilates :)

"I fell in love with Pilates thanks to Kirsten during the pandemic. We aren’t in the same province so my classes were all over zoom. I also have subscribed to her online class library which is fantastic. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to just follow along. Kirsten’s first career as a physiotherapist has help shape her into an incredible Pilates instructor. Even over zoom she can pick up the smallest adjustments to her correction. Getting that “YES!!” from her during one of her classes makes it so encouraging!! I do a lot of different sports including running, cycling, skiing, swimming - thanks to Pilates I have stayed injury free!!! I would highly recommend Kirsten - she really is awesome, she has great energy and so much fun!"

"Kirsten has been a wonderful part of of my Pilates journey. She is kind, patient, encouraging and nurturing. She wants you to be your best but lets you get there in the best way for you. She really cares for every single person that walks in that door. Whether you are 13 or 83 you can do Pilates and Kirsten can help you with a smile and a kind word.

I will also say that, when needed, she is not shy about reminding you that the work is not supposed to be easy ( LOL ) and pushes you to try harder...and it always seems to work. I feel VERY fortunate to be able to work with Kirsten and all the trainers at this beautiful little space. I highly recommend."

"Kirsten was one of the first people I met when I started Pilates , 10 years ago(?) She has always been an inspiration to me as a student and now as my coach. Always has a welcoming smile, inviting you into her Pilates world. Be prepared to work hard with Kirsten and she will guide you into new levels of the Pilates work that is challenging and always so fun!"

"An amazing studio equipped with the best classic Pilates equipment. Kirsten is so passionate and knowledgeable about Pilates. She is gifted at knowing what I am capable of and challenges me to dig deep and as a result I find myself growing with each class."

Brenda B.

"Kirsten’s enthusiasm is contagious. Her passion for Pilates and her curiosity makes her a brilliant instructor. She has a wonderful understanding of movement and knows how to guide me to always find a deeper connection."

"Pilates is a game changer for me and my body. Coming from a gymnastic background, not only did Pilates help re-create strong stability from historical injuries, it also facilitated even more body awareness. Couple that with Kirsten who is one of the best in the industry with her knowledge, drive and compassion, she keeps me motivated and keeps things fun! I highly recommend Kirsten and Spectrum Pilates."
