Kelly Lafontaine

Instructor | Manager

Kelly grew up as an athlete and adventurer. At a young age, she was committed to the circus arts industry and gymnastics. Stumbling upon the Pilates method in college, she realized how similar it was to her prior training regiment. In 2011, Kelly completed her first basic mat certification. Determined to know more, she went on to apparatus training. In 2017, she completed her first comprehensive certification with Peak Pilates and Pamela Garcia and Clare Dunphy. In 2022, she completed her second comprehensive certification through the bridge program with Classical Pilates USA and Brett Howard. She is also a member of The Pilates Loft Arlington administrative team.

​

Kelly is consistently keeping up with weekly private lessons and continuing education courses. A few of her favorites have been under the tutelage of Jennifer O’Mara, Junghee Won, Mejo Wiggin and Alycea Ungaro. She still participates in gymnastics strength training and calisthenics.

​

She has taught across the country from Boston to San Francisco and is now a resident of Fairfax, VA. Kelly holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Science from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts. And she is also a graduate of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program as well as the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
