Kristen H
As a former Lululemon manager and fitness fanatic, Kirsten has tried it all. But it wasn’t until recovering from a broken foot that she found her true love: Pilates. She needed a high-intensity, low-impact workout, and the Megaformer™ delivered. After just a few classes, she was hooked for life.
Don’t let her quiet vibe fool you, her workouts speak volumes. Loud, hard, and seriously effective.
About Kristen: Let's play 18 Questions!
- Favorite thing about your class?
Creativity – I always try to incorporate something new as much as possible. - Favorite thing about Megaformer™ or Pilates as a client? (Like when you take class what inspires/ motivates you)?
My favorite thing about Megaformer™ is that you constantly are learning and challenging yourself. As a client, the workout never gets easier or boring. As an instructor, it still amazes me how after 6 years of teaching I can still find new ways to use the machine and challenge others. - Favorite type of music for class?
Remixes of the songs you love. - Describe your class/ teaching style.
Fast-paced. I love the cardiovascular aspect that you can get from the method. The movements are slow but I work to make the transitions as smooth and as quick as possible! - What made you want to become an instructor?
If you told me 7 years ago that I would be a fitness instructor I would have laughed as I’m not an outgoing person. It was consistently taking Dani’s classes and her pushing me out of my comfort zone that inspired me and I knew this was a special method & studio that I wanted to be a part of. - Fun/ interesting fact about yourself?
I love to draw and sketch- I always wanted to be a shoe designer and have stacks full of old sketchbooks. - Favorite pilates / Megaformer™ move?
Scrambled eggs. - Did you have an “AHA” moment with Pilates or Mega? What was it?
My first class at PB – I couldn’t laugh or talk for days!
- What can you not live without?
Working out/sweating. - What’s a life hack you love?
