Fitness by KathVero

KathVero is a Boston-based fitness professional specializing in STOTT Pilates- Mat, Reformer, Cadillac and Stability Chair, and TRX Suspension Training. Although she could barely laugh or cough or sneeze after her first Pilates class, Kathleen was hooked as she knew she was working an entirely under appreciated muscle group! After several years of practice, she decided to embark on teacher training so that she could bring her passion for Pilates to others completing her Mat Training during the summer of 2012; her Reformer Training in the Spring of 2013 followed by her Cadillac, Chair and Barrels training in 2014. In addition to having an active Pilates practice, Kathleen has participated in several half marathons as well as several 5k's, 9 and 10k's and firmly believes that her time on the mat or reformer makes her stronger in other physical activities such as running, swimming, or downhill and cross-country skiing. To compliment her Pilates training, Kathleen is a qualified TRX Suspension Training Instructor; a certified Boston Body trained Barre Instructor and a Schwinn Certified Spinning Instructor. She is in the process of obtaining her Personal Training Certificate through the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT). Kathleen has completed further training in Exercise for Breast Cancer Rehab through the YMCA's Pink Program and Pilates for MS (and other Neurodegenerative Diseases and Disorders such as Stroke and Parkinson's). Prior to her career in fitness, Kathleen worked in the Fine Arts and Antiques field in both Boston and London and most recently in non-profit fundraising. She currently serves on the Development Council of the Fenway Alliance and volunteers with Back on My Feet's Boston Chapter. A Massachusetts native, she is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelors of Arts in Anthropology and a Masters Candidate in the History of Fine and Decorative Arts at Harvard's Extension School. When not at the studio, she can be found out and about in the Boston area indulging in her passion for good creative vegetarian food and photography.
