Kim, a native of Southern California, has been a dedicated and passionate member of the fitness industry for over 40 years. Her journey in this field was inspired through her lifelong competitive swimming career.

Kim attended UCLA, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology (the study of movement) and was a four-year All American Swimmer / American Record Holder. In addition to her academics and sports endeavors, Kim worked in the UCLA Women’s Athletic Training Room with injured athletes, applying treatment modalities and therapeutic rehabilitation exercises. Concurrently, Kim was hired at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica (a cardiac rehabilitation center), where she worked as an EKG Technician and Exercise Physiologist. Her eight years at the Longevity Center, a gratifying and fulfilling job, influenced both her work ethic and love of being of service.

During her time spent at the Longevity Center and subsequent years, Kim has worked with all fitness levels and ages, but has geared her focus more and more to primarily Pilates Reformer sessions.   Certified in Pilates Reformer in 2000, Kim finds the benefits of Pilates Reformer training to be one of the best investments a person can make in their lives.

Kim considers herself incredibly fortunate to have spent her adult life working in the career of her dreams: fitness management and instruction with group and private clients. As a Personal Trainer, originally certified through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), and as a certified Pilates instructor,  Kim finds nothing more rewarding than working with clients whose appreciation is heartfelt, and where time spent will enhance and elevate the quality of these clients’ lives. Her personal vision: to make her clients fitness experience the best part of their day, every day.
