Kim Gore Perin became interested in Pilates in 1998 while living in San Francisco. She injured her knee while taking classes with the San Francisco Ballet Company and it was in class that a fellow dancer had recommended rehab at a nearby Pilates studio. It truly was love at first class.

After taking classes for several years it became very clear that her passion in life would need to become her job. After moving back to Chicago in 2001, Kim received her degree from the PhysicalMind Institute. She then quickly became one of the leading teachers at the well- known East Bank Club and also helped to start the Pilates studio at the Equinox Athletic Club in Lincoln Park.

After moving to the Northern Suburbs, she worked with many different studios continuing her education of various schools of Pilates thought. In 2004 she decided to take the leap and open up a studio of her very own.

She is known in the area as a teacher who knows how to balance strength exercises while always focusing on alignment and flexibility.  “Whether looking for a boost in your regular exercise routine or rehabilitation, Pilates can be of great benefit to any body.”

Diana discovered the many benefits of mind-body fitness through her passion and desire for optimal health and fitness. She is a Certified Stott Pilates instructor, trained in Clinical Thai Massage, and also a certified Gyrotonic instructor. She was inspired by the work of Juliu Horvath, the founder of the Gyrotonic Expansion System. In October of 2006, Diana attended the First International Gyrotonic Convention in Rome, Italy, where she studied with PGA instructor, David Rasmussen, specializing in Gyrotonic for Golfers. She also trained in Gyrotonic for Martial Arts. In 2007, Diana became a Certified Gyrotonic Pre-Trainer. She helps to teach the fundamentals of Gyrotonic movement to other students who can then move forward and follow their educational journey.

Rachel Ciocchetti has been teaching Pilates since September 2007. She became Certified in 2008 from the PhysicalMind Institute. Pilates became part of her life when her daughter had ankle problems that Physical Therapy could not fix. Within 3 Pilates sessions, her daughter's ankle became noticeably stronger. She then knew that she needed to move forward with her knowledge of Pilates. Rachel has studied Pediatric Pilates and Pilates for the Young Athlete. She truly believes that Pilates is for everyone. Her clients love the variety of her teaching and the intesity of the exercises.
