  Ashley Smith

  Instructor

  Ashley began her Pilates journey in the summer of 2017 when she joined the Club Pilates teacher training. Although not new to fitness and exercise, she discovered Pilates is a completely different world from other fitness modalities. What she loves most about Pilates is that it is accessible to ALL fitness levels and ages. She prides herself in having "tough classes" that will leave you tired and invigorated all at the same time. Overweight and self-conscious as a teenager, Ashley knows the difference between leading an unhealthy and a healthy lifestyle. She would love to show you the difference, too! In her spare time, she enjoys traveling with her hubby of 8 years, cooking, and dance cardio. "You only regret the workouts you don't do"

  Kim Kerby-Dickman

  Instructor

  I have always had a passion for sports, activities and fitness-especially lifetime activities. While working in the Kinesiology dept. of a college, I have taught classes in almost every area of fitness. With a background of dance , aerobic exercise became very popular. Then, when Pilates made its debut, it was evident that this area could benefit, support and prolong the health of every person who took classes. I have enjoyed learning, practicing, and teaching the many areas the make up Pilates. I believe that there is a Pilates class for everyone.

She is dedicated to helping others (both athletes and non- athletes alike) discover the benefits of consistently practicing Pilates.
