Katherine LaPlant (she / her)

Raised in New England with California roots, Katherine came to Berlin by way of Los Angeles where she left a career in TV production to pursue movement instruction. Having discovered a personal sense of physical and mental restoration in building a regular Pilates practice, she was driven to facilitate this experience for other over-scheduled and stressed-out Angelinos. Katherine launched her new career in 2013 with offerings in contemporary reformer Pilates and treadmill HIIT with an emphasis on tough but thoughtful programming. Her resume quickly grew to include personal training, prenatal fitness instruction, and postpartum corrective exercise. 

Since moving to Berlin in 2016, Katherine’s practice has expanded to include barre fitness instruction and teacher training. She is additionally certified in the Functional Range Systems as a mobility assessment and training specialist, and has received continuing education from the Postural Restoration Institute. She is the co-founder of re:form GbR which is a movement education resource for passionate teachers and curious students.

Katherine’s teaching style is methodical, precise, and energetic. She is a recreational runner and also a mother of two.
