About
Ethos & Experience
Kim’s mission is to help you become a better, healthier mover. Comprehensively certified in STOTT Pilates®, Kim has spent hundreds of hours on the Pilates equipment and seven years of experience teaching group fitness.
Kim is known for her clear instruction and thoughtful programming with a deep understanding of anatomy, offering cues that make class available to all levels.
It is her passion to bring you a marriage of safe yet challenging movement. You’ll be challenged through sequences from the traditional Mat Pilates repertoire and movement patterns found on the Pilates equipment. Every class is a fully integrated workout, offering efficient breathing techniques, functional movement patterns, and optimal muscle firing patterns. The music and material are always in sync, and progress seamlessly throughout class. To take Kim’s class is to know that you will hear the ‘why’ behind each exercise, and will walk away having learned more about your body.
Background & Education
At an early age, Kim developed an aptitude for fitness and daily movement through gymnastics, horseback riding, and being a three-sport athlete in high school. In college, she experimented with various types of workout methods and group fitness classes before finding her home inside studios. Kim was introduced to Pilates and barre by attending classes with her mom, Kathy. After her first few classes, she felt the power of low impact exercise, especially the elements of Pilates within barre. Kim was inspired to complete her barre certification with Jenn Phelan & Meagan Fitzgerald at North End Yoga in 2018. While barre brought Kim into studios, taking and teaching Pilates is her passion.
In 2019, she became certified in Classical Mat through PowerPilates, and went on to continue her Pilates education with STOTT Pilates. Their renowned contemporary approach resonated with Kim to be able to share Pilates in a safe and functional way. In 2022, Kim began her STOTT training at Northeast Pilates Training Center in Beverly, Massachusetts, and completed her Level 1 Certification in 2024 while building her hours teaching, practicing and observing on the Pilates apparatus at Impact Pilates under STOTT Pilates Instructor Trainer Amanda Caven.
