Meet Kat, a Sun Valley native and retired ballerina. Originally from Newport Beach, she returned to the coast of Southern California after graduating from CU Boulder in 2015. Pilates has been a constant in Kat's life, woven into her training routine since her early ballet days. Despite exploring different cities and workouts, Pilates always held a special place in her heart. It wasn't until discovering Lagree in the O.C. that Kat's fitness passion truly ignited, transforming her body.
When the pandemic forced people indoors, virtual classes and quick at-home workouts became her refuge, leading Kat back to the mat. After hanging up her ballet shoes, Kathryn's love for Pilates persisted. Seven years in Newport went by before the mountains called her back home. Only, she became disappointed by the lack of group Pilates studios in town. This realization sparked a dream.
Kathryn envisioned Fit Me SV—a group mat Pilates studio, housing the perfect blend of classical and modern Pilates. She wanted to offer a full-body workout, but also those quick yet effective 30 min workouts you could always fit into your busy day. In 2023, she became certified in Mat Pilates by Balanced Body and in the Lagree Method by Pilates Plus O.C.
From dancer to teacher, from city to mountains, Fit Me SV is Kathryn’s way of sharing the transformative power of these methods with the Sun Valley community.

Margot grew up in Sun Valley where she dabbled in competitive ski racing. She discovered her passion for yoga while living in Bali at the age of 14. By 17, she became a certified yoga teacher, marking the start of her teaching career.
Around the same time, Margot encountered Pilates while rehabilitating a nagging running injury. Instantly captivated by its precision and ability to foster a profound mind-body connection, she embraced Pilates wholeheartedly. Margot finds solace in the meditative aspect of Pilates, cherishing the stillness it offers amidst movement.
With a vision of Pilates as a moving meditation, Margot strives to create a nurturing environment where students can find peace amidst challenge. She eagerly awaits the opportunity to share the mat with you.

Hayley moved to Sun Valley from New York in the fall of 2020, when she found herself quickly falling in love with the beauty of the mountains after just one visit. Hayley's passion for movement, however, began at the age of 3 when she started her ballet training.
Hayley continued her dance career all the way through college where she performed for 3 different companies. After graduating and starting a full-time sports marketing job in NYC, she found Barre as a way to fill the void left by her previously dance-filled life. She proceeded to get certified at the Bar Method in SoHo. Fast-forward to her move to SV, Hayley now teaches Barre, Pilates, and Body Pump at Zenergy; Ballet at Footlight Dance Center; and is thrilled to add Fit Me SV Mat Pilates to the mix.
Hayley truly believes that "movement is medicine" and is meant to serve every body type and aid every injury. She can't wait to share the joy - and burn - of moving with you on the mat!
