Mission + Vision
Beyond Fit
At Beyond Fit, we blend the timeless foundations of classical Pilates and Barre with the latest in movement science and education. Our mission is to teach with clarity, train with purpose, and move with meaning.
We’re cultivating a supportive, well-informed community of movers and instructors who value precision, creativity, and whole-body wellness. Through thoughtful training and authentic connection, we’re building a movement culture that strengthens, uplifts, and inspires—both on and off the mat.
Colleen Ketchum
OUR FOUNDER
- Gymnast + Stunt Double
- NETA Partner for Barre Teacher Training
- Nation Wide Pilates Teacher Trainer
Colleen has been leading people through movement for over 20 years, teaching Pilates and Barre across the U.S. and internationally. Her approach blends classical technique with a modern mindset—making movement education feel smart, accessible, and built for how we live today.
Her journey into wellness started with gymnastics, led to a degree in science, and continued with a career as a research scientist right out of college. That analytical lens deepened her understanding of how the body works—and eventually led her to explore it through a more physical path. Colleen also spent time as a stunt performer in film and television, where knowing how to move with precision, control, and awareness wasn’t optional—it was essential.
Today, she’s the founder of Beyond Fit Studio and Beyond Fit Learning, where she trains future teachers in Pilates, Barre, and Reiki. Her programs are made for real people with full lives—whether you’re building a new career, adding a side hustle, creating wellness content, or leveling up your own practice. Everything is designed to help you succeed with confidence and clarity, no matter where you’re starting from.
Colleen’s work has been featured in Pilates Style, Shape, Marie Claire, Well + Good, Teen Vogue, Family Circle, The Boston Herald, and more. In recent years, she’s expanded her teaching to include Reiki, offering students a way to explore energy work alongside physical movement.
Her teaching is thoughtful, real, and rooted in experience—built to help you find your voice, refine your skills, and share what you love.
