vital corps is a small, private Pilates & wellness studio located in Northampton, MA that eschews the factory feel of a gym. Owner and principal teacher Kara Martin offers health & lifestyle coaching, Natural chef services and private Pilates sessions (using a reformer, mat, tower, wunda chair, spine corrector and other props) to help you meet your health & wellness goals in a comfortable, relaxed environment. The combination of vital corps’ location and mission offer an especially great haven for those who seek to avoid the factory feel of a more traditional gym, or simply want to truly focus on their health and fitness in a one-on-one environment.

Kara also keeps limited hours in NYC, as well as Pilates and wellness-workshops around NYC and beyond.

Gratz is the apparatus manufacturer of choice at vital corps. For over 50 years, Gratz has sought to preserve the integrity of Joe Pilates’ original designs when making their industry-leading equipment that is as durable as it is precise.
