I am personal trainer based in the Boston area. My mission is to challenge clients in ways that will help them reach their fitness goals, while teaching them how to live a healthy lifestyle. I teach clients to keep it simple and that slow and steady wins the fitness race. Whether you want to lose fat, gain muscle, or just look good in clothes, I will teach you the facts you need to manage food intake, burn calories and resistance train.

My training philosophy – Moderation with out deprivation
There is a healthy person inside each of us. I work with clients to help them understand that one bad day doesn’t push you completely off your course. Remember, it takes 21 days to create a habit, each day we take one-step towards meeting our goals. If you stumble, who cares, just dust yourself off and start again. I am there when you stumble to help you get back on your on course.

Background
I have been intrigued about nutritional and fitness since I gained the dreaded freshmen 15. Before college, I could eat and drink what ever I wanted and not gain an ounce. Boy was I shocked when summer came and I could no longer fit into my shorts! I began to take aerobics classes and became hooked on aerobics video tapes. My clothes started to fit better and I was feeling great. I was working out so I could eat whatever I wanted right? This worked for a while and then the weight started to creep back on. What was happening, I am exercising!!

Well, I didn’t fully realize that eating, strength training and degree of aerobic intensity all played a role in maintaining my weight. Before I started this journey, I was caught in the rat race, I traveled 100,000 miles a year eat out nearly 80% of all my meals, even when I wasn’t traveling, because I working 12 hour days and just too tired to think about cooking. In 2003, I said ENOUGH. I was burnt out, my current job wasn’t my passion, and so I left the rat race and created Pyramid Wellness. I decided to become a personal trainer, because just like many of you, I was confused about what was a good work out program, how did nutrition play a role, most importantly could, I fit this all into a busy life without constantly feeling deprived.

I learned so much great information on my healthy journey that I want share this information with everyone I know. I am an ACSM certified personal trainer and a certified Nutrition Specialist. I earned my BS degree in MA from Bentley College. I have been happily married. I enjoy cooking, reading, golf and vacations where I just lay by the pool reading a good book. In my spare time I train to compete and figure and physique competitions. At the first amateur event held at the 2007 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, Kim was one of 90 women who qualified to participate.
