I’ve been working with Katie at Paradigm studio for about 8 months. She’s extremely knowledgeable, methodical, and effective. Since working with Katie I have been feeling very strong and my alignment continues to improve with each lesson. Her classes are also challenging and engaging. You will never be bored! If you have the chance to come to Paradigm Studio, I highly recommend Katie.

Reviews
I've worked with Laura Gunder a few times at Paradigm Studios now, and I've been impressed with her technique and approach as an instructor. The sessions are 100% worth the value as you're in constant flow the entire time. The sessions are also different every time with new movements, which makes me excited every week. Since our very first appointment, I told her that my goal was to elongate my body as my occupation is ergonomically challenging. Every session with her has honestly felt like a "massage." She has taken my expectations of my body to a whole new level. Laura is professional, passionate, understanding, and dedicated to her craft. It goes without saying that I highly recommend Laura without reservation. I've met Katie once so far and she is a delight to be around! She is an instructors' instructor, which should speak volumes about who she is. I will recommend my friends to Paradigm Studio so they, too, can experience this sweet treasure on the Upper East Side!
I had the most wonderful experience training with Katie. She has a genuinely warm and caring heart, and she pays close attention to each client’s individual strengths and areas for improvement. Her guidance is always thoughtful, encouraging, and tailored to what your body needs.
She brings so much positive energy, making the workout both challenging and enjoyable. After the session, I not only felt refreshed but also noticeably stronger and more confident in my body.
