Our Founder
BK Pilates was founded by Marina Kaydanova, who discovered Pilates while working in the corporate world. After falling in love with Pilates and experiencing its transformative effects, she decided to open the first BK Pilates studio in Brooklyn, sharing her passion for Pilates with others. According to Marina, "I feel stronger and happier, now I know I have finally found something truly transformational."
Why Pilates?
Marina chose Pilates as her preferred exercise system for its comprehensive approach to physical and mental well-being. She firmly believes that Pilates is not just an exercise routine but a lifestyle commitment. Its low-impact, well-rounded approach to exercise makes it a perfect complement to any other physical activity.
