From Our Clients

“I am so happy I started pilates! I have been going a little over a month now, twice a week. Before I had chronic lower back pain and everything was tight, shoulders to legs. Now I have almost NO, that's right none, back pain. I have become more flexible and stronger. Such an amazing set of classes and instructors!”

-ANGELA

“I love Town Pilates! Everyone there is so welcoming and kind. When I started, I did not have any experience with reformer pilates. They made learning easy and comfortable. Now, I can tell that I have improved posture, strength, and flexibility. LOVE LOVE LOVE!”

-SUZIE

“I absolutely love working with Kate at Town Pilates! She is very knowledgeable and attentive to correct positions and working with me at my abilities. I feel great after my workout with her.”

KATE ODELL, OWNER

Kate began teaching movement at 14, launching a lifelong passion for helping others feel strong, connected, and at home in their bodies. She earned her comprehensive Pilates certification through the PhysicalMind Institute in 2008 and is also a certified yoga instructor with a background in Sports Medicine and Kinesiology. Over the years, she’s taught Pilates, yoga, and barre in a variety of studio settings and worked as a physical therapy tech during college.

She opened Town Pilates in 2022 to create just that. Kate loves working with a wide range of clients, helping them build strength, awareness, and confidence. For her, the most rewarding moments are when it all clicks and clients walk out feeling more connected and renewed than when they walked in.
