This is a Pilates studio like no other. Founded by Kat Trainor, Trainor Movement Co is inspired by the legacies of those who have pioneered Pilates with a mission of accessibility for all, regardless of physical ability, injury, or experience level.
The studio’s name holds deep significance. Following the tradition set by Joseph Pilates and Moira Stott, Kat chose her own last name, “Trainor”. This not only honours her personal commitment to the practice but also speaks to her vision of creating a safe, inclusive, space for anyone interested in exploring movement.
“I wanted people to feel safe and comfortable doing Pilates, whether they’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic illness, exercises with a disability, or simply new to the practice. The idea behind Trainor Movement Co is to ensure everyone, from all walks of life, can experience Pilates for what it was truly meant to be.” -Trainor
The philosophy behind Trainor Movement Co aligns perfectly with the thoughtful design of the studio. Kat’s approach centers on making Pilates accessible and customizable to each client’s unique needs. To fulfill this promise, she’s equipped the studio with an extensive range of Merrithew equipment and accessories. The studio offers an impressive selection, including a full Cadillac, four Reformers (two Rehab and two V2 max models each fitted with Towers), arc barrels, spine correctors, ladder barrel, and a variety of props that provide endless opportunities to personalize each client’s experience.
“It's necessary to have a fully equipped studio, so that everyone can experience the depth and versatility of Pilates.” - Trainor
With such a comprehensive array of equipment, Trainor Movement Co ensures that each individual can work through movements that are tailored to their body’s needs.
At Trainor Movement Co, Pilates is more than just exercise. It’s a journey of healing, strengthening, and discovering new movement possibilities. Kat and her team are passionate about guiding clients through this journey, providing a supportive environment that honours the origins of Pilates while advancing its adaptability to meet modern needs. As a part of the LGBTQ+ and disability community herself, Kat is committed to ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and capable when they walk through her doors. Her studio is designed to be a safe, affirming space where clients from all backgrounds and abilities can explore movement without fear or judgement.
Whether you are new to Pilates, recovering from an injury, or an experienced practitioner, Trainor Movement Co welcomes you to experience Pilates in its truest form - a method designed to meet you where you are.
