What people are saying... “I am brand new to pilates and was initially intimidated by the equipment but I was completely at ease after my first class! The instructors are so professional, kind, and engaged, always offering adjustments to accommodate injuries or limitations. Because it is a smaller studio, you still get that individualized attention even in the group classes.” -Christina “The space is beautiful, clean and well laid out. More important, the instructors are amazing! I have gained so much from each of their wonderful classes. I’ve tried many different studios in Vancouver and there is nowhere I feel more at home. No matter what health or mobility challenges a client presents the instructors have found a way to adapt. 100% recommend!” -Maegen “I recently joined, and I can’t express how grateful I am for the warm and inclusive atmosphere they’ve created. As someone who’s on the heavier side and far from fit, I was initially nervous about joining. However, from day one, the staff and instructors have been nothing but kind, encouraging, and non-judgmental.” -Win Kat Trainor (she/her) director, senior pilates instructor Katherine began her career in movement with dance training at age four. In her early teens Kat trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet school and the school of Alberta Ballet. In 2015, she danced with Lamondance contemporary company in North Vancouver; and then for two seasons with Decidedly Jazz Dancework’s Professional Training Program in Calgary. She has become captivated by the art of dance across many genres, and will find a love for any style that connects her to music. Kat combined her love for movement and dance with anatomy to find Pilates. After completing her certification, Kat was hired to work for Vancouver's only STOTT PILATES education centre. Since then, she has completed a number of additional courses and workshops to further her Pilates and anatomy knowledge. Kat opened Trainor Movement Co, Vancouver's only STOTT PILATES Education Centre, in 2021. She is passionate about mentoring student instructors through the "Ivy League" of Pilates education. As someone with multiple chronic illnesses, she endeavours to have her studio be a place where people of any ability level feel comfortable practising Pilates. She’s now working towards her specializations in post-rehabilitative conditioning, Pilates for ageing adults, and pre/post-natal Pilates.

Caitlin completed her Mat Pilates certification the same year, and started her comprehensive training and apprenticeship immediately after, completing her exams with PhysicalMind Institute in England in 2007. In 2006 Caitlin left Vancouver for Paris, France, and began teaching Pilates full-time. While living in Paris, Caitlin also completed a Yoga Teacher Training program, and was able to study briefly under Pilates Elder, Mary Bowen, as well as other Master trainers in methods such as Gyrotonic, yoga, Feldenkrais, and of course Pilates. Caitlin then spent a few years teaching in the birth place of Pilates: New York City. This gave her the opportunity to work with numerous teachers of various lineages, focusing especially on Classical Pilates with many Ramona trained instructors. After NYC, Caitlin moved to Argentina, where she was able to teach English language classes to other non-spanish-speaking immigrants, while also attempting to learn the language! After Argentina, it was on to Sydney, Australia. In Sydney Caitlin worked at a number of Pilates studios, one of which was a STOTT PILATES training studio where she was able to go further into her Pilates studies with multiple certificate courses. Caitlin is a mother to two young boys. After almost 16 years teaching Pilates, Caitlin still considers herself a life-long learner, and looks forward to continuously broaden her knowledge of the body and the method. She recently returned back to Vancouver, and is thrilled to be living and working in East Van.
