MEET THE FOUNDER
Kiersten Gibson-Cooper founded KGC Pilates through a journey of personal resilience and a commitment to community. Her career is rooted in public education, where she served as a middle school teacher and principal. Today, she continues her impact as a district leader. These leadership roles gave her a firsthand understanding of the high-pressure environments that professionals and community leaders navigate daily.
Her path to Pilates began during marathon training. As her mileage increased, so did the physical toll, leading to frequent injuries. She realized she needed a training modality that offered more than traditional weightlifting. She sought a practice that integrated deep stretching with functional strength to support her body and her recovery.
However, her search for the right space met significant challenges. Kiersten often found herself in studios where she did not feel fully welcomed or seen, often because the instructors did not share her background or experiences. This lack of representation sparked a new vision: creating a wellness brand where inclusivity is the standard and every individual feels they belong.
While Kiersten remains dedicated to her work in district leadership, she missed the art of teaching. KGC Pilates allowed her to return to the "classroom" in a new way, sharing her passion for movement outside of a traditional school setting.
Today, as a certified instructor, Kiersten is dedicated to helping every individual Keep Getting Confident. Whether she is partnering with corporations to enhance organizational culture or hosting private celebratory events, her mission remains the same. She provides a high-quality, curated experience that prioritizes the person behind the title through mindful, accessible movement.
