“Working with Kim Valentine has been an absolute pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled Pilates instructor who is passionate about what she does. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and patience are exceptional. She makes sure to provide clear and precise instructions to guide you through challenging routines with a keen eye for proper form and alignment. Her personalized approach, both on the mat, and the reformer, makes every class a super fun and motivating experience. I’m lucky to have her as my instructor.”

“As a newcomer to Pilates principles and exercises, I had no idea what to expect. I took a class with Kim at Soma Yoga and was instantly hooked—not only by the class itself, but by the supportive educational environment that Kim works hard to foster.

I’ve since been enjoying Kim’s classes several times a week for almost four months. I’ve grown to become noticeably more confident on and off the mat, and I gratefully attribute Pilates to getting me moving and helping improve my mental health. Not only is Kim an excellent teacher, but she has become a familiar friendly face in Boston and I’m grateful to have found her classes.”

“I have been taking Kim’s Pilates classes for years and her teaching style is by far my favorite that I have experienced. Kim is clear and direct in her instruction and has a deep understanding of Pilates and the human body. Her presence is both motivating and calming; I always want to do my best in class but I also leave more relaxed than when I came in. Kim is warm, knowledgeable, and inspiring — I would recommend her class to anyone who wants to feel stronger in their body.”

“When I started working with Kim, I was searching for mind-body connection. Through her simple cues, thoughtful sequences, and grounding music, I found that and so much more. A class or private session with Kim will connect you to parts of your body you may not have been aware of and promote functional, healthy movement inside and outside the studio.”

— Helena T.

"Kim's passion for movement and inclusivity coupled with her bright personality and connectability adds value to her classes. She advocates for mobility and inspires students to be present. She engages with members, provides professional support, and guides you through each movement in the class. The music and material are always in sync, and pair well with her teaching style."

“I always look forward to Kim’s classes because I know I’ll learn something new while getting a good workout in! Kim’s extensive training and knowledge of Pilates translates in her buildable class sequences that are approachable but still challenging for all levels. She is an expert at queuing classes and explaining the ‘why’ behind different exercises to help her clients connect what it’s doing for the body.”
