I joined Rana’s Pilates class when I was 5 months pregnant and I am so glad that I did. Not only is Rana an expert in Pilates, but she is also super knowledgeable in how to train pregnant patients. She always ensured I knew how to modify the move for my stage of pregnancy and even helped me to get through a severe episode of sciatica when I got further along in my pregnancy. In addition to getting a fantastic workout, Rana’s class feels like a community. She is so sweet, always making sure everyone is taken care of during class and is fantastic at introducing people. I am so grateful I found her class and can’t say enough positive things about my experience, I can’t wait to get back to training with her when my daughter gets a little older

I met Rana two years ago leading up to my wedding. I had done Pilates before, but never had such attention and detail and focus put on me. Rana’s assessment was tailored to my goals and my body, she gave me such incredible inspiration and the hardest workouts, that really felt good. She believes fitness should workout your entire body, and to move with passion. Beyond fitness, Rana is the warmest person, she radiates happiness and a positive outlook on life. I consider her a friend and mentor, and genuinely look up to her and the life she lives! Couldn’t recommend Agility studios more, living between California and New York, I believe her methods are better than anything I have seen and give you the long lasting results you desire. 10/10, Rana! ♥️

I recently embarked on my Pilates adventure at Agility Studio, guided by the incredibly talented Rana Kennedy. Even as a beginner, and being male, any apprehension I had was instantly eased by Rana. After just three individual sessions, its evident that Rana is not only highly trained but also has a natural gift for teaching. Im eagerly awaiting three more personal lessons before transitioning to 15 group classes. Ranas positivity, unparalleled professionalism, and ability to consistently exceed expectations are commendable. I couldnt have chosen a better place than Agility Studio to start my Pilates journey. If youre diving into Pilates without prior knowledge, like I did, then Rana is the instructor youre looking for.

Rana is an absolute master of her craft and truly takes the time to LISTEN to your health goals and concerns, to ensure each session is best suited to benefit YOU.No other studio teaches the authentic method of Pilates (and fitness as a whole) like Agility. I never miss a session! I’m hooked!

I’ve been practicing Pilates with Rana at Agility Studio for about three years. I didn’t know anything about Pilates before and I just love it. Rana is a great instructor and motivates you throughout the class. The classes are small and there is a real sense of comradery with the others in the class. I feel fit and strong and when my back is bothering me, Rana adjusts my routine accordingly. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Rana is amazing and doing Pilates with her has helped me in more ways than one. I have always been very active but developed chronic back and hip pain, which worsened when I became pregnant. I started doing 1:1 Pilates sessions with Rana’s twice a week in my first trimester and throughout my entire pregnancy. Rana is incredibly knowledgeable and she guided me through exercises that were safe during pregnancy but that also helped me strengthen the right muscle groups to prevent back and hip pain. I also recovered very quickly post pregnancy, and I definitely attribute that to my workouts with Rana!

I have been going to Agility Studio for almost five years. I signed up when I was feeling frustrated about not finding a work out regimen that worked for my specific needs. I was diagnosed with MS eight years ago and have issues with fatigue and balance so a lot of workouts are not suitable for me.I wanted to give Pilates a try and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed the way I think about a work out. Rana is amazing- the class sizes are small and very hands on and she modifies every class to work for whatever issues you may be dealing with that day. I love that I can attend the same class with people of all ages and athletic abilities (including pregnant and post-partum ladies) and we all get exactly what we need out of the class. Rana has a nice athletic style of Pilates which makes me feel powerful without taxing my muscles. There are also spin/yoga classes on certain nights if you want to mix up your routine.Every person I have ever worked out with has been friendly and welcoming. This is the most laid back studio you will find. I am stronger than Ive ever been thanks to Rana. If you are considering Pilates, this is the place!

Rana is an incredible trainer. I just finished 10 privates with her and will be continuing with her 2x/week. A few specific things to call out: she is always paying attention. I may think we are chatting while I do my reps and shell stop herself mid-sentence to correct my form, adjust my body, count my reps--she is never not working. Next, she is so incredibly knowledgable, but in a way that is accessible. She noticed (not me!) that one of my shoulders is higher than the other--and is often correcting my form (my shoulders, my knee, a slight turn of my foot) while training me--and Im shocked by the big difference these small observations and changes have made. Lastly, while I went in with the goal of decreasing my stress and improving my fitness--Im already having unexpected results such as my back hasnt been hurting (I just assumed my back would always kinda hurt bc I sit at a computer 10 hours per day). Rana is hard working, super smart, and a calm, kind person. I highly recommend working with Rana.

Ive been training with Rana at Agility Studio for a few years now; pre baby, throughout my entire pregnancy, and post baby. I genuinely love Ranas style of Pilates -- it feels a little more athletic to me; and has transformed my muscles to be less tight and more elongated. Rana is also so knowledgeable about nutrition, and self care... you get the whole package when training with her. Ive attended classes and semi-privates, all of the sessions are beneficial. I wouldnt go anywhere else for Pilates, youll agree when you attend, too! :)

I’m so glad I found Rana and the Agility Studio. I’ve been active all my life with tennis, golf, pickleball, but aches & pains told me my body needed something more. I love the addition of reform Pilates. Rana makes it fun and she makes sure you do everything correctly so you work the proper muscles. I feel very lucky to have discovered another thing I love…claudia
