— Kiersten Gibson-Cooper
The Story
Kiersten Gibson-Cooper is a certified mat Pilates instructor and the founder of KGC Pilates. KGC stands for Keep Getting Confident. Because confidence is not something you find once and keep. It is something you build through movement, community, and showing up for yourself.
By day Kiersten serves as a network leader overseeing high schools in New York. On the mat she brings that same commitment to growth and community to every class she teaches.
Her mission is simple. Make Pilates accessible for everybody. No experience needed. No specific body type required. Everyone is welcome here.
KGC Pilates offers weekly mat Pilates classes in Flatbush Brooklyn, private and corporate wellness events across NYC, and Lead on the Exhale, a somatic wellness program for education leaders. Kiersten also holds a recurring wellness residency at Soho House DUMBO Brooklyn and has taught at the NewSchools Venture Fund Summit in San Francisco.
Brooklyn roots. Global mats. Keep Getting Confident. 💜
