  • Sessions are 60 minutes and cost $85. Shorter sessions may be available upon request. Clients see results training once a week, but frequency is a discussion based on your time and goals.

  • At this time I only offer individual sessions as I feel this is how I am able to best customize your wellness program and deliver results.

What Clients Are Saying 〰️

Mary M.

I love the reformer machine and the instruction Kristy provides.  I used to work out at home and my form wasn’t always correct which could have caused my injury.  Kristy watches my form and has something new programed for me everytime. I feel like every session is unique and I learn something new every time.

Leah M.

Kristy is absolutely incredible! I love that she emphasizes the mind-body connection before each work out. The private lessons make all the difference in the world. You know you’re working hard and she helps you maintain good form. The workouts are specifically designed for you, so you see results quickly! I lost 12 pounds in such a quick amount of time and even though that wasn’t my focus, I think having fun while you are working out is the difference!

Kara M.

My individual Pilates sessions on the Reformer with Kristy are the gift I give myself.  Because of her knowledge of physiology and the equipment plus her ability to analyze individual needs, she customizes every session to safely challenge my capabilities.  I am stronger mentally and physically as a result. I value every minute of every workout!

Jill N. MD

Kristy is the best! I have been doing Pilates Reformer two times a week for a year.  I had no experience at the beginning except beginner Yoga for one year. Kristy is a good listener, a good cheerleader and very attentive to the details of your program.  Within 6 weeks I lost 2 dress sizes without changing my diet. I have severe Fibromyalgia and would say my pain and fatigue are 50% better from doing Reformer with Kristy.  Kristy also has good knowledge of general health and fitness.

Alexis T. MSW

I love Kristy’s positive energy and acceptance of where I am.  I have been able to be consistent with my workout for the first time in my life.  This and therapy add balance and strength to my life. I feel both physically and emotionally stronger. Kristy has opened my mind to so many possibilities and things regarding being a mother, a wife and a spiritual person.

I will forever be grateful to have found Kristy Howell. Her masterful understanding of human anatomy and expert teaching skills have helped me regain critical strength and mobility. Kristy is kind and patient, which is helpful when one is struggling to learn or relearn new skills and build or rebuild physical abilities. Whether a person has significant physical issues or just wants to be stronger and more fit, Kristy’s the ideal teacher trainer to work with.
