    Angela Luchterhand

    INSTRUCTOR


    Movement has always been a part of who I am. As a Balanced Body–trained Pilates instructor, I blend the timeless foundations of classical Pilates with a fresh, contemporary approach. I believe movement should feel intentional, empowering, and good in your body.

    My classes are thoughtfully designed to build functional strength, create deeper body awareness, and encourage a strong mind-body connection. With a focus on mindful, purposeful movement, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling stronger, more connected, and beautifully balanced.

    Kennedy Knight

    INSTRUCTOR

    Hi, I'm Kennedy! I was born and raised in Spokane, Washington, and have always had a passion for health, wellness, and movement. As a Pilates instructor, I love helping people discover their strength, build confidence, and create a deeper connection with their bodies.

    My goal is to create classes that are welcoming, challenging, and empowering for every fitness level. I believe movement should leave you feeling stronger both physically and mentally, and I strive to help clients improve their strength, mobility, and overall well-being while having fun along the way.

    When I'm not teaching, you'll find me enjoying the outdoors, working out, baking sourdough, or spending time with my Bernese Mountain Dog. I'm so excited to be part of this community and look forward to moving with you in class!

Who We Are

At River City Pilates, we care first and foremost about you as a whole person.

We want to see you thrive in all areas of life including your community, work, family, hobbies, spirituality, mental health, and physical health. Which is what brings us here! We truly believe that caring for our bodies is an important aspect of life, and we’re here to help you do that.

Because of our background in physical therapy, injury prevention, and athletics, we strongly believe that Pilates can and should be complementary to other forms of movement and exercise.

We see immense value in heavier weight training for longevity, bone density, and injury prevention, and so we will encourage you to find balance between Pilates, and other important movement! We’re your biggest cheerleader. And we can’t wait to see you thrive.
