Moving Mind, Body & Soul
Welcome to The Kelly Mac Method — Where Strength Meets Soul.
A few words
About Us
KELLYMACMETHOD
The Kelly Mac Method of body conditioning was developed by Kelly Mac as an updated derivative of the traditional methods originated by Joseph Pilates over 85 years ago. It involves a series of warm up, workout and cool down exercises all designed to readily and vastly improve your overall physical and mental health. The Method is a unique system of stretching and strengthening exercises, which can help tone your muscles, improve your posture, increase your flexibility, balance, and unite your mind and body.
Exercises are performed on a mat or on a Pilates apparatus. Like traditional Pilates, the central concept of Kelly’s method is strengthening the “Powerhouse” or core of the body – the abdominal muscles, obliques, buttocks, and the muscles around the spine. The emphasis is on flowing movements requiring the use of multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Controlled breathing and concentration is essential, making Kelly’s method truly a great workout for the entire body and the mind. This balance between strength and flexibility drastically reduces the potential for injury and greatly enhances ones “functional” health – the ability to perform daily tasks.
If you are looking for an effective way to tone your muscles, improve your posture, increase strength, flexibility, balance AND unite your mind and body -The Kelly Mac Method is For YOU!
MAC Pilates Studio
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Fall of 2003, Kelly Mac opened her first studio in Western New York. There was a high demand and waiting list before she was even opened for business. All of her classes were filled to full capacity. She lead clients safely, enthusiastically with her infectious energy. Each movement is Precise and with Purpose, making class a Performance and a F “AB” U-lous experience from the inside out. Word of mouth spread quickly. Soon she had to move into a larger studio and into her third even larger boutique style studio to accommodate the growing demand and popularity for The Kelly Mac Method. Today, Kelly is back in Southern California. She trains in clubs, in clients’ homes and would be delighted to come to Your Corporation and motivate your employees. Gives a new meaning to “Happy Hour.”

WHO IS KELLY MAC?
Boat People
I am considered the first wave of “The Boat People” from Fall of Saigon, Vietnam. Arrived in NYC, lived in Princeton, New Jersey. Summer 1975 of drastic changes to say the least. Where I came from we walk, bike, lots of rickshaws and seas of Vespas. Fresh off the boat with clothes I left on April 30th, 1975 as VCs invaded Saigon. Left to die in the South China Sea for days before we were spotted and rescued. From humble means to riding Uncle Peter’s beautiful red sports car seats 5. Only we were able to squeeze 10! Never been on a plane or rode in cars that drove no more than 35mph. Culture shock! Memorial Day, 1975. first hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, jello and COOL WHIP! “Hallelujah! I LOVE America!”
I was raised by fathers parents, they were “my parents” and met my biological parents upon my arrival in Princeton. A world of changes beyond my control, not only was I uprooted from the land I was born in and love. Summer 1978, I was once again uprooted from the only parents I ever knew. My biological parents decided it was best to drive across the states with their four children to California. In our culture children are seen Not heard. You do as you are told. Your opinion, thoughts and feelings are irrelevant. You are Not to question and challenge your elders. Imagine what a young teen must be feeling at this point. Not allowed to express themselves but just do as I am told. I had No say in who I wanted to live with and where I wanted to be. Lost and confused. What happened to the country and parents I knew and loved? A young teen with so many unanswered questions, trying to process changes from simple living in a house full of family in Saigon, to another full house in America. Now with New parents, you are expected to Accept Instantly without any explanations or counseling. Additionally, I did NOT speak a word of English. I was bullied in school. I was supposed to accept, not defend myself, just keep the peace. I share this brief story with hopes to inspire you. You do matter. We all have our story. Our struggles are real. Our life IS Relevant. How we react IS Key. We can choose to Rise Or allow our struggles and adversities keep us from being our Best self. We get to choose. I chose ME And My Beautiful daughter, Michelle!

It strengthens your Whole being and gives you confidence. When you take care of your body, it will take care of you. Congrats for putting You First.
