Katie at Pilates Guide
Katie M. is a Pilates Guide contributor and certified instructor with 14+ years of experience. Her contributor focus is helping readers navigate getting started, understanding class formats and making practical choices about Pilates.
Our coverage connects those everyday questions with clear program and equipment information. A beginner choosing a first class and an experienced practitioner comparing home equipment need different kinds of guidance.
What to expect from our contributor coverage
Look for clear explanations, named sources and practical questions to ask before choosing a class or buying equipment. Articles identify their author and any completed expert review separately so you can see who contributed to that particular piece.
A contributor biography is not a claim that every product on the site has been tested by that person. When a recommendation is based on published specifications, we say so in the article.
