Kimberly Kay

Owner/Manager of Urban Pilates

Certified Classical Pilates Instructor

Kim has been practicing Classical Pilates since 2012 and teaching since 2017. Her teachers Dorothee VandeWalle, April Tillman and Renata Jarvi have been the most influential to her own practice and teaching. She continues learn and grow from her teachers through weekly private sessions and attending continuing education opportunities whenever possible. “I hope to always be learning in life and there is so much to learn and grow from in Pilates that a lifetime of opportunity exists if you are open to it.” - Kim Kay

In August of 2019, she had the amazing opportunity to become the new owner of Urban Pilates. Soon after, she earned the Metropolitan Authentic Training (MAT) certification through our sister studio Metropolitan Pilates in Seattle, WA under the direction of Master Teacher Dorothee Vandewalle.

Kim's infectious enthusiasm for Pilates movement will help you create a strong foundational Classical Pilates practice that will keep you moving and leave you feeling lifted, calm and clear headed.

During her free time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, singing, listening to music and going for long walks around the neighborhood in search of a good cup of coffee.
