An avid fitness enthusiast, runner, and skier, Kristine Ciardiello has been teaching fitness on the shoreline for more than 25 years. Her own interest in Pilates began as a way to complement her running and strength training and grew into a passion for the Classical Pilates method.

With 15 years of Pilates teaching experience, Kristine brings extensive knowledge of the Classical system and works with clients across the full range of Pilates apparatus. Her teaching emphasizes core strength, stability, alignment, and balanced movement, with a keen ability to recognize individual strengths, limitations, and imbalances and tailor her instruction accordingly.

Kristine believes that the strength and body awareness developed through Pilates should extend well beyond the studio into everyday life. A dedicated lifelong learner, she continues to deepen her practice through ongoing study with respected Pilates educators. Whether teaching private sessions, Pilates classes, or strength training, Kristine creates an encouraging environment where clients are challenged to work hard, have fun, and experience the lasting benefits of consistent movement.
