With 36 manuals and eight videos devoted to Pilates to her name, Master Instructor Kelly McKinnon opened Belgium's first Pilates studio, Corpus Studios, in 1999 and later introduced the disciplines of GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS® and CoreAlignTM to this country. Since then, Kelly has continued to nurture and develop her own skills, training under GYROTONIC® creator Juliu Horvath to become a GYROTONIC® Master Trainer, and working with CoreAlignTM creator Jonathan Hoffman alongside being featured in the CoreAlignTM DVDs. Corpus Studios has grown with Kelly in reputation, size, and specialties, evolving into the first-rate fitness studio that we identify as today.
Corpus Studios offers two beautiful and conveniently located studios in Ixelles, Borrens Studio (near Flagey), and Caroly Studio (near Gare-Luxembourg). Borrens Studio has recently begun to complement the Mind-Body approach with Spinning Classes in our newly finished state-of-the-art spinning room and functional training room and by functional training into private sessions.
The studios cater to everyone, from absolute beginners to the most advanced, from professional athletes to those in need of rehabilitation, with four levels of difficulty to choose from. Our equipment is both comprehensive and varied, and includes:
• A complete Pilates Studio with a Pilates Reformers, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrels, and Pilates Sticks
• A fully furbished GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Room, with a GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower, Jumping Stretch Board, Gyrotoner, and Archway
• A Spinning and Functional Fitness Room, with Keiser M3® Indoor Spinning Bikes, a Keiser Functional Trainer®, Versa Climber®
• CoreAlign® machines
Additionally, each of our studios provides modern changing rooms and hot showers.
Most importantly, our teachers are of the highest caliber, and they genuinely want to help our clients reach their goals. The Borrens studio hosts one of the most popular Pilates teacher training programs for instructors and offers instruction in the complete Pilates repertoire as well as teacher training in GYROTONIC® GYROKINESIS® and CoreAlignTM. All certified instructors at Corpus Studios have undergone a thorough Pilates education with exams, apprentice hours, instruction in anatomy, and pedagogical programming for Pilates - as well as observation, personal practice and teaching hours to teach clients of all fitness levels and backgrounds. A fully trained Comprehensive Corpus Studios teacher has undergone over 800 hours of training. Kelly McKinnon ensures that her teachers are attentive and teach the students, not the exercise - they are trained to constantly check the student's body position and execution of the exercise. Teachers are trained to plan their classes, have an objective in each class, and a strategy for client development. They are informed about the individual needs of their students, and offer modifications to exercises when necessary to meet these needs.
All of this creates the signature Corpus Studios’ environment which is warm, welcoming, and relaxed, but still focused to help our clients realize their fitness aspirations.
