About Kaleen

Kaleen is the founder and CEO of Flexia, the world's first smart Pilates reformer designed to be used at-home with innovative technology that tailors workouts and quantifies the health benefits of mind and body movements. 

As an athlete, Pilates instructor, and mechanical engineer, she recognized a need to reinvent Pilates and give anyone (and everyone) easier access to a reformer and an instructor who could guide their practice. Kaleen founded Flexia with the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to feel unstoppable and that mindful movement is integral to making that happen. She designed the Flexia reformer to eliminate the common barriers of Pilates with a first of its kind reformer and connected studio, utilizing innovative technology to create a truly interactive experience.

Kaleen is committed to changing the way the world views women in STEM and removing barriers for women in the engineering space. She is passionate about separating fitness from aesthetics and helping people repair their relationship with fitness and their bodies. 

Kaleen has contributed to articles for CNN, Livestrong, Bustle, Sacramento Business Journal, and FittInsider. She holds a B.S. Mechanical Engineering from Kettering University and is a certified Pilates instructor, with deep roots in the world of product development having worked in the automotive, medical device, and fitness equipment industries. Outside of running Flexia you can find her hiking with her rescue dog Leo, trying local sour beers, and cheering on Arsenal FC.
