Did you know that Clay Aiken was doing Pilates five days a week while starring in Spamalot?
According to Pilates Pro, Kristan McBee, Clay worked with her at around 1pm each week-end. She stated that he was great to work with and that, although they worked hard, they kept it fun. Clay is not the only celebrity that Kristan has worked with. She also has worked with Steve Martin and LeeAnn Rimes.
The following is part of Kristin’s biography on her blog.
In 2003, Kristin was asked to choreograph and instruct the first MTV Yoga video, which she followed up with three additional fitness titles for the music video channel: MTV Power Yoga, MTV Pilates and MTV Pilates Mix. Kristin has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN Headline News, Fox’s Good Day New York, Tyra Banks Show and NBC’s Today Show as a fitness consultant and has been on the covers of Pilates Style and Fit Yoga magazines. She has also been in Self, InStyle, Shape, Fitness and Women’s Health as a contributing editor and/or fitness model.
Kristin’s success as the MTV fitness guru brought her stars and athletes as clients. When she’s not teaching at select health clubs in Manhattan, Kristin spreads her yoga and Pilates discipline to schools and community centers in the New York City area. She volunteered at the winter Olympics in 2002 as well as the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and Self Workout in the Park.
Kristan was recently featured on the show Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy. During the interview, she shared some behind the scenes tales of training celebrities.
