CLEARLY Reformer Pilates is owned and operated by Kristen Riley. 12 years ago, Kristen fell in love with Pilates. Discovering a natural gift for teaching, she began her mentor training and instructing in 2013. In 2014, she completed her certification in Balanced Body University Reformer training at Body Evolve Studio in Highland Park, IL. Her home studio, k.pilates was opened shortly after in November of that year.
In 2022, after outgrowing her current studio, Kristen expanded her business. CLEARLY Reformer Pilates was born.
Kristen is continually motivated to educate herself on new and innovative Pilates techniques Her style of teaching is athletic and challenging — a full body workout that will leave your muscles weak and your clothes sweaty. Training with Kristen, you’ll focus on sculpting long, lean muscles and strong, stable cores with the added benefits of improved flexibility and posture.
Practicing Pilates throughout the pregnancy and births of her last two children, Kristen developed a special interest in pre and postnatal body recovery. She offers specialized training for women who are pregnant or are looking to get back into shape after baby!
In addition to Pilates, Kristen continues to add to her education. Educated and certified at Revival Yoga, a Yoga Alliance RYS 200 program as well as The American Sports and Fitness Association. She continually grows and perfects her self practice. Vinyasa and Sculpt are her favorites to teach, but the options for a beach yoga class are endless!
