About Kinfolk Pilates
Precision, Intention, Longevity
Our Philosophy
Kinfolk Pilates is a private, appointment-based Pilates and wellness studio rooted in precision, intention, and longevity. Our approach honors the classical Pilates method while incorporating modern, performance-informed movement to support strength, balance, and sustainable progression.
Every session is designed with care, prioritizing quality instruction, intelligent sequencing, and a refined studio experience that allows clients to move with purpose.
We believe movement should be thoughtful rather than trend-driven.
Kemberly Deane
Founder & Lead Instructor
Kinfolk Pilates was founded by Kemberly Deane, a comprehensive Pilates instructor and athletic trainer with over a decade of personal practice.
After the birth of her first child, Pilates became central to Kemberly's postpartum recovery, helping rehabilitate diastasis recti, strengthen the pelvic floor, and restore posture during a physically demanding season shaped by motherhood. That experience led her to pursue Pilates professionally.
Today, she specializes in athletic training and performance conditioning and is the creator of the Kinfolk Athletic Method, positioning Kinfolk Pilates as the only studio in Atlanta qualified to train professional athletes. Her experience includes working with athletes across the NBA, NFL, and MLB.
Before entering the wellness space, Kemberly worked in tech as a User Experience Designer and Software Engineer, a background that continues to inform her structured, thoughtful approach to movement.
