I'm someone who hated PE and playing sports--couldn't wait to grow up so no one could force me to play volleyball. So exercise was not my friend and just walking into a gym was kind of triggering. But Kim is amazing! She acquainted my mind with my body, literally. Sometimes she would show me how to move a particular muscle and I would say, "My brain can't talk to that muscle." But Kim would talk more about it, help me visualize it, and after a while, I could move it! Kim is also a kind, sensitive person it is a privilege to know. Highly recommend! read more

I teach pilates and was doing more teaching than practicing til I found Kim. I have been working with Kim once a week for a few months now. Kim's teaching draws from many styles of pilates and she uses what is needed to get the best out of me each session. When I walk in for our session I never know what we are going to end up focusing on and I am always impressed with what Kim notices in my body. I am usually sweating and shaking during the class and I leave with things to work on and think about in regards to my body and my movement. Can't not say enough good things about Kim's pilates.. her studio is well set up and welcoming. You will learn a lot about yourself and how you move working with Kim. read more

As a former Pilates student and instructor, I was pleased to find an excellent instructor to help me restart Pilates. Kim has a strong training background and experience, including speciality training in Pilates for Osteoporosis and teaching elderly students. After I broke my ankle, her knowledge and skill of anatomy and movement helped me rehab faster than regular physical therapy. Her teaching style is supportive and positive, with a pleasant demeanor. Her studio is fully equipped, and includes other non-Pilates methods such as the Franklin Method and Bodhi. Thank you, Kim, for giving me the past 4 years a passion again for Pilates. As a former instructor, I think you are one of the best! read more

Next month will be my 4th year now working with Kim. I have never stuck with an exercise program so long and it is because of Kim and her program for me. Although I'm getting older I have been able to maintain or even increase my energy, balance, strength and flexibility. I have problem areas that Kim monitors to be sure I don't injure myself and so that I maximize range of motion and minimize discomfort. She has continued to work with me via Zoom during this pandemic and it has worked great while keeping everyone safe. She works towards my goals for myself and takes a genuine interest in my well being. I wrote a review when I first started and just wanted to update to say it has only gotten better and I couldn't recommend Kim more highly if you want to work one-on-one with an experienced and qualified instructor. read more

I am so fortunate that I found Kim, her Pilates class was exactly what I was looking for. I first came to Kim because I needed help with a knee injury. She was so attentive and not only helped my knee but she has also helped me become stronger while teaching me about how to move my body properly. It has been almost a year and what a difference it has made. I am more in tune with muscle groups I never knew existed. I went from only doing cardio to now having better posture, more energy, less aches and pains, and being strong especially in my core. Kim always makes sure I get what I need out of each class. Sometimes class is an amazing workout with a lot of core work and other days it's stretching tight muscles and helping things loosen up. That is what I love about working with Kim. She is very in tune to what you need and does an amazing job explaining the why of what she is having you do. Fast forward to now where we are home and not sure when the shelter in place will been lifted. Kim has always been but now even more so, she has become the highlight of my week. The normalcy to my routine and my time to do something for myself. We now do classes via Zoom and it's just like being in the same room with her. Kim does an amazing job of clearly walking me through the exercises and telling me what I should be feeling and where. I am able to get a really good workout while being at home. Each class leaves me feeling energized and full of gratitude. I highly recommend taking Kim's Pilates class. read more

I'm new to Pilates but very familiar with working out. I've done yoga for over a decade, have done lots of long distance running, circuit training, essentially every type of physical activity including physical therapy. I contacted Kim early 2016 hoping she could help me with my back pain but ended up having surgery before I could meet her. Two months after back surgery I started with Kim, best decision and opportunity to have come my way. She is incredible. The best coach, mentor and physical therapist. She understands the body and gets the best out of it pain free. First time I have ever worked out pain free. I highly recommend Kim to everyone regardless of fitness level. read more

Pilates with Kim has transformed my body. When I started I had frequent back pain, extremely tight hamstrings, and minimal flexibility. Through weekly sessions with Kim I was able to increase flexibility and now can do downward dog without bending my knees. Also Kim has taught me proper posture and has strengthened my core. So now my back pain is significantly less frequent. I'm so happy to be seeing Kim! She's professional and friendly. I highly recommend her! read more

I was very fortunate to find Kim after I had done some Pilates based PT after breaking my knee back in 2012. I've been working with her twice a week now for over a year and a half. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, encouraging beyond belief, and an all around good person! With her guidance and expertise I have not only gained strength in my legs, but my whole body feels so much stronger and more flexible than I've probably ever been. She knows her stuff, and if she doesn't have the answers, she will research it and get that information to you; she's very dedicated to her work and to her clients. Her studio is clean and very comfortable to work out in. If you're looking for a great personal workout and don't mind being challenged, I highly recommend Kim Taylor Pilates! read more

I have been going to Kim for Pilates for several years now. She is fantastic. Kim creates a program totally suited to you're health and physical needs.She works you so you are challenged but is very perceptive if you are not feeling 100% that day. Kim is constantly taking classes to expand her repertoire and has an excellent knowledge of physiology and how your body is supposed to work. I highly recommend her. read more

This is an update of my earlier review. Almost two years later, I'm still seeing Kim twice a week, still enjoying it, and still getting good results! She is wonderful to work with and motivates me to stick with it. Thank you, Kim! My wife still goes twice weekly as well. Especially for people our age, this is a great way to stay healthy and get our bodies in better shape, and fight the effects of aging. read more

I've been curious about pilates for awhile, but wasn't sure who to go to or which instructor would be good for me. I'm active but certainly not an athlete. A friend recommended Kim and so I tried her out. In the past I've lifted weights but it bulked me up too much (arms like a truck driver); but I wanted to be strong so I could maintain my list of activities (skiing, golf, sailing, hiking etc.) Kim honed in right away as to what my body was doing and how she could help me gain strength in my weak areas. The exercises are easy and fun. As a result, I now know how to ease the stiffness in my back in the mornings and strengthen my core for even more fun out on the grass, water or snow. I'm 58 years old and look forward to keeping my body strong for years to come so I can enjoy more life!!! read more

Kim is fabulous! I was in an accident 20 years ago and broke several vertebrae in my upper back. Pilates gave me relief from most of my pain. I was at several other studios until i found Kim 4 years ago. She was quick to analyze my strengths and weaknesses and I'm stronger and healthier than ever. read more

Kim Taylor is a very knowledgeable and personable pilates instructor. She has been my instructor for over a year and a half and I have completely redefined my body for the good. I have always done aerobic exercise and have had my share of injuries especially my back and neck but, with combining Kim's pilates with aerobic exercise, I have had absolutely no injuries and I have found that my aerobic activities are better because of the pilates training. Kim has shown me that you don't need the "burn" to increase your strength and your control over your body. I highly recommend Kim to everyone but particularly to women who have a bad body image and who are timid about exercise. Kim will fit a personal program to you. I want to add that am 65 years old, have lost weight doing pilates and am the best shape I have ever been in my life. read more

have been going to Kim for almost 2 years. I actually look forward to going to our hour long sessions. In fact, for EVERY session I am shocked when the hour is up! I have become a physically stronger person and it is fascinating to watch my body change as my strength increases. Kim's teaching of Pilates has made me understand the physiology of the body in a way that I never had before. Her attention to detail from correct positions to the way to breathe efficiently are a couple of examples that make Kim an excellent Pilates Instructor. Her studio is an ideal place for Pilates. read more

Kim is one of those professionals you know you can trust to provide consistent, safe, personalized guidance. I injured my back a few years ago moving a patient (I am an RN) and could not even lift my leg to put on my pants. Working with Kim in her Pilates studio has been fun, strengthening and liberating. Her work has opened up my world to a life of hiking, weight lifting, dancing and freedom in movement while allowing me to live the life I love. I am touched by Kim dedication and compassion as she has assisted me through my various body limitations over the past few years. She integrates medical and PT regimens with her innovative, educational sessions. I appreciate both her playfulness and discipline in pointing out when I am moving in a potentially hurtful way. If you are considering working one-on-one with a Pilates instructor, I highly recommend Kim Taylor. read more
