Personal Pilates
Your Home. Your Pace. Your Pilates Journey.
In-home and online Pilates,
tailored to fit your fitness goals, lifestyle, and schedule.
There are so many things that can get in the way of a regular exercise routine.
An injury that makes exercise feel uncomfortable — or even unsafe.
The thought of starting an exercise routine feels overwhelming (especially if it's been a while!).
Going to your local gym feels intimidating and too much of a commitment.
Following along an exercise routine on YouTube can be tricky — and also difficult to do regularly.
LIFE! Finding the time to fit exercise into an already frantic schedule.
But it doesn’t have to be this way—there’s a way to ease into movement that respects your body’s needs and fits into your life, without the pressure or intimidation.
Personalized Pilates Sessions

The only way to fit exercise into my life!
"As a business owner and homeschooling mom, having a set twice-weekly online Pilates appointment is the only way to fit exercise into my busy life."James is an excellent instructor, giving helpful cues and challenging me in just the right measure. I always walk out of my sessions feeling stronger — and I'm more productive when I get back to all the tasks I juggle!"
Shelley, off to record a podcast in her Pilates gear
I've recovered from surgery — and feeling stronger than before!
"Five years ago, I had a right knee replacement and was heavily reliant on anti-inflammatories. I was also experiencing pain and limited mobility in my left knee. That's when I decided to start Pilates with James."I'm now happy to report that I no longer need anti-inflammatories and I've avoided any further knee surgeries."Pilates has spared me a world of pain — plus, it's great fun!"
Kathy, planning her next trip to Ireland

James Kendall-Smith
Hi there, I’m James. I'm the Lead Instructor here at My Personal Pilates.I'm a BASI Qualified Pilates Mat Work Instructor with nine years of experience as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor.My journey with Pilates began as a personal one. I struggled with low muscle tone and found traditional weightlifting wasn’t for me.Pilates was my ‘ah-ha’ moment.It’s a practice that’s not about pushing through weaknesses, but about celebrating and enhancing your strengths.I’ve made it my mission to help others discover the power of Pilates, especially those who might not feel at home in a traditional gym environment.In my years as a Pilates instructor, I've been witness to many of my clients' triumphs, including:
My client who went from taking several anti-inflammatory tablets a week to not needing an anti-inflammatory for over 9 months. (And the only reason she needed it was because she'd been walking the cobbled streets of Dublin for a whole day!).
Another client who went from struggling to maintain any kind of exercise routine to consistently showing up to Pilates classes — for the last seven years!
My client who started his Pilates journey eight years ago to because he was experiencing lower back pain. He's since become an avid sport climber and credits Pilates for the core strength needed on those tough climbs.
Whatever your fitness goals are, I'd be honored to support you to achieve them.
