WHAT IS SCARLETT PILATES LIKE?
Bree Rock
“Every workout with Scarlett Pilates is a return to self, Kate has given me the tools to ground myself and be present in my body, strong and centered, a feeling and way of being that has impacted how I move through my days and life.”
Lindsey Chizinski
“The core conditioning I get from my sessions with Katie Scarlett allows me to enjoy the same activities I thrived on before becoming a mother… Prior to having kids, I was a dedicated distance runner. In childbirth I sustained major damage to my pelvic floor muscles, and I was horrified to discover I had little bladder or bowel control when running. Physical therapy helped but didn’t eliminate the problem. After my third child was born, I added private Pilates sessions with Katie Scarlett to my workout routine. Just two years later, I crossed the marathon finish line again and my pelvic floor did its job! Priceless!.”
Nunny Hersianna
“As a stroke survivor, I love to work with Katie to get a stronger core, flexibility and regain the range of motion
Even only by online class, Katie helps me focus more on improving my body awareness through controlled movements .
Thank you Katie, I decide to keep being consistent. :) -Jakarta, Indonesia-”

“I fell in love with this practice thanks to Scarlett Pilates! Katie is very informative and brings her knowledge into each class in order to help you deeply understand how to do an exercise. I always felt so good after the class and can’t wait to do it again!”
Christopher Chizinski
“I have been taking Pilates classes at Scarlett Pilates for over a year now. I couldn't be happier with the classes. I have several long lasting injuries that Kate is able to work with, expertly modifying exercises to suit my needs. Further, she builds routines to go to the core of some of my issues (sore hips, bad back, bad shoulder :)) that provide relief while also building strength. She is very caring and attentive to each of her clients and I wish I could give Scarlett Pilates 20 stars. She is fantastic!”
Chloe Marvel Light Axelrod
“Pilates with Katie Scarlett is my favorite part of the day. A moment to focus on myself and get into my body in a smart healthy way that makes living feel better.”
Tina Filbert
“Immaculate studio and equipment, very peaceful and welcoming. The teaching is excellent, certified, professional, patient, encouraging and very knowledgeable and helpful in diagnosing and working with one's weak areas. I have been greatly helped here at Scarlett Pilates with my core strengthening, and problem pain areas. Out of all the classes and therapies I have undergone, this is the one with the best results for me. I definitely recommend Scarlett Pilates to everyone.”
Tracy Piper
“Reconnecting to my pelvic floor after childbirth seemed like a faraway dream until I started working with Kate. Pilates has transformed my approach to fitness, and general life, because it:
A) Works.
B) Doesn’t take 3 hours of gym time.
C) Is easy on my joints.
I now can gladly say that I don’t pee every time I sneeze”
Gwendy Reyes-Illg
“I love Scarlett Pilates! My body has gotten much stronger since I started taking the virtual classes a couple of years ago. Katie is great at giving clear instructions and helping adapt to each individual’s unique needs. She had helped me to become aware of and engage core muscles, which has helped alleviate chronic pain patterns. Her experience in fields like aerial dance and her vast, intimate knowledge of the musculoskeletal system make Katie a Pilates instructor in a class of her own.”
Alana Madamba
“Kate’s Pilates classes are such a blessing. She is so knowledgeable about anatomy and body mechanics that her wealth of knowledge will rub off on you just by taking her class! Kate is a kind and supportive instructor. Her friendly encouragement gives me the confidence to put even more effort into my workouts, and I am often surprised by what I have accomplished at the end of each session. I am so grateful for Kate’s Pilates classes, because they have given me strength, flexibility, and results that I didn’t think were possible.”
Dwoira Galilea
“Scarlett Pilates saved me during the pandemic lockdown as a way to stay connected to my body in a time when the mat and my living room were all I had. Long after lockdown ended I continued to take her class . It is a beautiful hour of mindful movement and physical education- a way to drop in and focus on body, mind and spirit. Pilates is one of my favorite movement modalities for both every day existence as well as preparation for the stage. It really works no matter what you need it for- the practice of using just one’s own body with focus and control has changed my life completely! Kate has such powerful words and intention during class, and is so educated about the moving body I always feel very safe and taken care of. She often provides alternative options and equipment recommendations. Her humor, candor and personality make every session rewarding and fun while every class is clearly well planned and thought out. I couldn’t recommend any class higher- Scarlett Pilates is a gift you can give yourself every day!!”
Emily Laras
“Katie’s classes are always a treat! She puts so much care into ensuring that we are aware of and respecting our spine and body in the movement process. I always leave feeling amazing and wanting to come back for more.”
