December Featured Instructor: Kristen R.

Each month we will be featuring one team member and their unique qualities that they bring to CORE and our clients. We hope you get to know each of us a little better and consider training with someone new. This month we are diving deeper with Kristen!

CORE Buckhead: What brought you to the movement method that you teach? (Pilates, Gyrotonic, Redcord, etc)
Kristen R:  I’ve always had a passion for fitness and after making the decision to move to GA two years ago, I knew I would need to find work with something I would enjoy while also pursuing another career. Pilates has always helped me feel stronger considering all the back issues I have had, so I decided to tho was the certification for me.

CB: How long have you been teaching?
KR: 2 years

CB: What do you like most about teaching?
KR: I love how my clients always tell me how good they feel after a session and how much their strength and flexibility has improved.

CB: What is your favorite thing about teaching beginners? 
KR: Honestly, the look on their face when they first lay on a reformer! It makes me giggle. I also love when they realize how tight their muscles truly are. You never know until you step into the world of Pilates.

CB: What do you hope your clients get out of their sessions?
KR: I hope they feel stronger and confident.

CB: What is one piece of advice that you have for clients who are just getting started? One piece of advice for people who have had a long-term practice?
KR: For clients who are new, please be kind to your body. Be patient. Your body is learning and doing things it never thought it could. Don’t compare yourself to the person doing Pilates next to you who can bend in half. One day you will be able to as well! For the established clients, challenge yourself. See if you can add an extra session to your practice. Or reach an inch further in your current practice.

Thanks for following along and letting CORE be your catalyst for health and fitness. Next month, we will be featuring Clare. Stay tuned!
