Kim Zachar believes that Pilates helps people organize and strengthen their body, so it is prepared for all the physical and mental demands of our favorite activities (golfing, bicycling, hiking, etc.) and daily living. She has helped clients with back pain, disc displacement, scoliosis, injury recovery, osteoporosis, improve their movement and body confidence. In 2007 Kim tried Pilates as something new from traditional strength and cardio training in a gym setting. She was immediately hooked on the challenge it gave her body and mind. She found that Pilates complimented her gym work by addressing imbalances and engaging smaller muscle groups. She used Pilates to recover from a hip replacement and repetitive use shoulder pain. Thru Pilates Kim found she was in better condition for any activity she wanted to pursue. After 9 years as a client Kim decided to pursue a deeper understanding of Pilates for herself and to share with others. Kim is a graduate of the 950 - hour Advanced Teacher Training program from The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado and is a Nationally Certified Pilates Instructor. She continued her education with the Kathy Grant Heritage Training and seven courses from Movement Science Made Simple; she maintains her certification with annual workshops. Kim lives with her husband in the Travelers Rest area and enjoys pickleball, hiking, reading and will suggest a Pilates exercise for anything that ails you.
