Kathleen Chen

Certified Pilates Instructor

Kathleen received her Pilates certification in 2003 at the prestigious Long Beach Dance Conditioning and has been teaching continuously for over 15 years.  She was introduced to Pilates through dance and discovered that it fulfilled her body, soul and mind!  

Kathleen has extensive experience teaching mat, group equipment, semi-private and private classes.  Her favorite teaching setting is the private session for its intimate focus and fine-tuning.  Her dance background informs her teaching through personalizing workouts based on the client’s body, needs, and goals. To maximize results, she loves to use accessories to modify the exercise for the individual.  

Through her clients, Kathleen continues to learn about the body.  Just as clients evolve in their practice, so does her instruction.  She finds it fun and rewarding to help others.  Furthermore, the relationships she has built over the years have been priceless.  In so many ways, teaching has enriched her life.
