She can help anyone, of any age/fitness level! If you’re looking to make a positive change, give her a call!

Expérience fantastique: The reformer pilates offered at Get Kinected Fitness is the pilates Belleville has been waiting for! This work out will ignite all your smaller core muscles and you will be sore in muscle areas you didn't even know existed. After two classes I can see the difference. Leaving class I feel leaner, longer and more toned. Some other benefits I am noticing are, improvement in my posture and strength in my pelvic floor. I feel relaxed, and mindful of my body during our sessions. Pilates reformer is a full body and mind work out that I will definetly incorporate to my fitness regime. Through her personal training, Shawnda has helped me work though some of my previous sports injuries and I feel better than I have in years!
