Front Desk Support

Kim Denyes

Kim started at the studio as a client; and one day there was a need and desires to have her join the studio as the daily "go to" person for Susan.  Kim provides so much more than Front Desk Support; her business background and Pilates enthusiasm was the perfect fit for our studio.  Kim works at the studio during the weekday and the occasional evening and Saturday.

Kim graduated magna cum laude from August College, in Minneapolis, MN with a BA in English. Her honor’s thesis was a collection of creative non-fiction essays on the writing process. During one of her academic year, she serviced as a student representative to the English Department Faculty.

Aside from Pilates, Kim also enjoys sewing and is an expert interior decorator.

Kim lives in Easton with her lovely husband Tom (who is a part time Tri-Athlete and placed in a recent Triathlon).
