Katie Crane  Owner/Instructor

Katie Crane has worked as a Pilates Practitioner in Darwin since 2007.  She relocated here after completing the vigorous certification program with Body Arts and Science Ianternational in Maroochydore, Queensland where she studied under the guidance of Joleen Watson.

As with many instructors, Kate's own Pilates practise was born from injury and the desire to heal her own body. With such positive results and an established career in the fitness industry she was encouraged to further her education and follow her passion for teaching.

Inspired every day by the potential her teachings have unveiled, Kate is a dedicated student to the Pilates method of exercise and she firmly believes in the principle that a human body possesses great potential.
