A Great Workout As an aging multi-sport athlete I was plagued by overuse injuries until I dedicated myself to 2 pilates workouts per week with Rana. Training with Rana has allowed me to focus on my endurance training while the pilates routines continue to strengthen my core and supporting muscle groups.
The combination has kept me injury free for 2 years. The classes are dynamic; always changing with great routines, a great instructor and classmates! I encourage any cyclist or runner logging training miles to consider adding at least one class per week to their training regimen. Not only did I gain health benefits, I made new friends and got to know the lovely Rana Kennedy!

I have been going to Agility Studio for almost five years. I signed up when I was feeling frustrated about not finding a work out regimen that worked for my specific needs. I was diagnosed with MS eight years ago and have issues with fatigue and balance so a lot of workouts are not suitable for me.
I wanted to give Pilates a try and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed the way I think about a work out. Rana is amazing- the class sizes are small and very hands on and she modifies every class to work for whatever issues you may be dealing with that day. I love that I can attend the same class

I've been training with Rana at Agility Studio for a few years now; pre baby, throughout my entire pregnancy, and post baby. I genuinely love Rana's style of Pilates -- it feels a little more "athletic" to me; and has transformed my muscles to be less tight and more elongated. Rana is also so knowledgeable about nutrition, and self care... you get the "whole package" when training with her. I've attended classes and semi-privates, all of the sessions are beneficial. I wouldn't go anywhere else for Pilates, you'll agree when you attend, too! :)

I recently celebrated my one year anniversary as a student of Rana's in her Agility Studio. I say "student" because, even though I am an emergency physician, Rana has taken the time to teach me so much about the musculoskeletal system, and how important it is to use proper form while exercising to prevent injury and increase physical well-being. Rana's constant attention to detail allows her to make frequent modifications to our regimen and adapt her workouts to each individual client.
While it is Rana's enthusiasm, expertise, and professional service that keep me coming back week after week,

I’ve worked out with Rana for 3 years now, through both of my pregnancies, and am more fit and have more stamina than I did before two kids! She is attuned to the needs of the pregnant and post-natal body and is able to alter workouts to be effective, but still safe and comfortable. I feel like the work I did with Rana really helped me bounce back more easily after both pregnancies. She pushes without being pushy, is positive, and supportive. You won’t find a more dedicated trainer!

I have been going to Agility Studio for over 4 months and have improved my flexibility, stamina and have lost weight. I started with private instruction but am now going to group classes almost every day. The best part is that group class sizes are 6 or less people. I love the options of spin, yoga and pilates each week. Rana Kennedy, the owner really cares about each client.

I have been a client at Agility Studio for two years .Rana is an amazing trainer who has challenged my flexibility, strength, and endurance without building bulk. My core has become stronger ,and I am relieved of any stress or back pain. Rana improved my overall well being and enhanced my fitness level. I enjoy not only my workouts , but the wonderful people I have met.

After just 5 weeks of Pilates at Agility Studios, I am committed! I am already seeing significant improvement in my posture and muscle tone. I missed two sessions over the Thanksgiving holiday and guess what?? That nasty neck pain and migraine returned.
This is a wonderful studio and the instructor is very caring and positive. Thank you!
