Kristen Williams

Kristen Williams. A classically trained professional dancer for more than 16 years, was able to rehabilitate an injured hamstring though Pilates.  A few years later Kristen suffered two very serious strokes!  Again, Kristen used Pilates for her own rehabilitation.  It was this life altering event that led Kristen to the power of Pilates. Kristen and her husband Matt Williams opened Creative Fitness in 1998.  In 2001 Creative Fitness became the Santa Barbara Pilates Studio and moved to De la Vina Street.  Kristen’s training has derived from many instructors,  however her primary Pilates instruction comes from The Pilates Studio New York with Bob Liekens & Romana Kryzanowska. Furthermore Kristen’s extensive background in Dance gives her a unique insight into the workings of the human body from a strength and agility perspective. Kristen’s clients range from 15 yrs old to 94 yrs young! She has worked with professional dancers and athletes and those recovering from knee, shoulder, back and neck injuries. She has been creating custom workouts for all her clients for the past 15 years.
