Fitness geared toward healthy aging
We all age… and all older adults want to keep moving and maintain independence, but the needs and goals of older adults are more diversified than any other population. Fitness levels have a very wide spectrum in the older adult population but ALL of us experience:
Bone and muscle loss
Decreased coordination and agility
Joint degeneration (and possible joint and back pain)
Declines in vision and balance
And many other individual issues such as spinal stenosis, heart and/or blood pressure problems, neurological disorders, joint replacements, osteoporosis, etc
The changes that happen as you age don’t define you but can slow you down and keep you from enjoying things you enjoyed in the past. BUT you CAN slow and even reverse (to a certain degree) most of these issues with strategies specific to your needs and goals so that you can continue to live an active life full of the activities that YOU want to do.
“I have been taking Pilates with Kim for 4 years and find her beyond friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I started out doing back rehab with her privately …. Kim always adjusts exercise to your specific needs. I also had knee issues that became severe enough to get a knee replacement and then did post-rehab with Kim… Kim is by far one of the best Pilates instructors out there. I am way more than satisfied. She gets 5 stars from me!”

Why work with me?
I have over 20 years of experience working with older adults (and am now close to being an “older adult” myself).
I spent the last year of my Exercise Science Master’s Degree on a fall prevention research project which was highlighted on PBS and was published in peer reviewed professional journals.
I have “trained the trainers” in Pilates and fitness for the older adult.
I created and taught a successful Pilates program at three campuses at a local retirement community.
I taught the course “Biology of Aging” through the Kinesiology department at the University of New Hampshire.
When needed I team up with health care providers to determine the best approach to help you meet your goals.
I understand that you have different and diverse needs.
And most importantly, I LISTEN.
“There are no words to say how grateful I am for the Move it or Lose it class. Right now it is helping me bring down my numbers for diabetes to say nothing of all the other benefits.”

“Class with Kim has been the best choice I’ve made to maintain my flexibility, balance and overall range of motion. The classes are always varied so you get a well rounded use of all muscle groups without being overwhelming. And Kim’s knowledge base allows her to offer modifications for anyone with injuries or chronic conditions so that they can still get a level of benefit.”
