REFRAME founders Angéline and Kathy together

Meet Angeline

Angéline has been passionate about movement and fitness from an early age and discovered Pilates over ten years ago.

A Balanced Body® certified Pilates Instructor and founder of The Hundred, she combines her expertise in Reformer Pilates with more than 20 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience.

A year-long world trip in 2024–2025 exposed her to innovative fitness concepts around the globe and further shaped her vision of what modern Pilates could become.

With REFRAME, Angéline brings that vision to life: a stronger, smarter and more progressive approach to training — built for lasting results.

Meet Kathy

After 25 years in PR, influencer marketing and brand building, Kathy traded the corporate world for her long-time passion: Pilates.

A Peak Pilates® certified instructor, she founded The Kay in 2022, growing it into one of Antwerp’s established Reformer Pilates studios.

Her own Pilates journey began in 2018 and transformed the way she thought about movement, strength and long-term health. Over the years, that vision evolved beyond Pilates alone — with an increasing focus on strength training, muscle building and healthy ageing.

Angéline & Kathy

From Pilates entrepreneurs to REFRAME Founders.

What started as two separate Pilates journeys became one shared vision.

REFRAME founders Angéline and Kathy together.

As founders of The Hundred and The Kay, Angéline and Kathy spent years building their own studios, teaching clients and experiencing first-hand how bodies — and their training needs — evolve.

One thing became increasingly clear: movement alone is not enough. Building and maintaining strength matters.

Rather than competing, they decided to combine their experience and create something new.

Angéline and Kathy, founders of REFRAME Pilates studio

A REFRAME brings together the foundations of Pilates with progressive strength training, athletic programming and infrared heat — creating a more complete, intelligent approach to training. reimagined.

And they don't just run the business. They still teach, train and stay close to the studio floor.

Because REFRAME wasn't created in a boardroom. It was built from years of real-world experience.
