Judge, Colonel, US Army (retired)
Bountiful, Utah
"When
I retired from the Army Reserves, I no longer had to pass mandatory physical
fitness tests, but wanted a non-competitive alternative to staying fit. I had a
long-standing interest in Pilates and had tried occasional lessons. Kimberly has
been the ideal long-term answer. I really enjoy her sessions and her classical
but flexible approach. Kimberly has worked beautifully with my physical
therapist to address a back problem and specific weakness in my musculoskeletal
system. She even accompanied me to a treatment session. I find my body becoming
not only stronger and more flexible, but more balanced and attractive.
In my current position as a judge, scheduling time for workouts is
challenging in the face of extended travel and long hours in the office. Kimberly's willingness to
come to the gym near my worksite provides a wonderful and extremely convenient
option for maintaining consistent Pilates workouts. Her support and guidance in
doing mat workouts when I travel—providing reminder notes, helpful homework,
text and video references, and movements using complimentary resistance aids—assure me I will do the exercises correctly. It's like having a trainer
wherever I go."
