Meet Kayla

Your PILATESBODY Instructor
Kayla Brugger, founder of PILATESBODY by Kayla

Hi, I’m Kayla — Certified Pilates Instructor, strength coach, former collegiate athlete, and mom of two behind PILATESBODY by Kayla.

I own a private home Pilates studio where I specialize in 1:1 private Pilates & strength training. That real-world experience plays a huge role in how I teach, create workouts, and help women build stronger, more confident bodies.

My own fitness journey has changed a LOT over the years. After years of gymnastics, CrossFit, running, and high-impact training, I found myself dealing with constant aches and low back pain. My body needed a different approach.

Pilates changed that.

But over time, I also realized I didn’t have to or want to choose between Pilates and strength training. I could combine the core strength, control, mobility, and mind-body connection of Pilates with progressive strength training to build a strong, lean body without spending hours in the gym.

That’s what led me to create my 2+2 Method — two Pilates workouts + two strength workouts each week.

Today, I help busy women build strength, sculpt lean muscle, improve their core, and feel confident in their bodies with realistic workouts they can do right at home.

You’ll find free Pilates + strength workouts on my YouTube channel, workout plans and challenges here on the blog, and plenty of real-life fitness along the way.

After two babies, a changing body, and MANY different seasons of fitness, I’ve learned one thing: you don’t need to do more. You need a routine you actually enjoy enough to keep doing.
