About
Creating the perfect blend of balanced living.
Born out of the idea that adding Pilates to events makes them all the more fun — and vice versa.
2023 — Little River, SC
It began at a dinner table.
Grand Strand Pilates was founded in 2023 with monthly Pilates pairing dinners at a local restaurant in Little River, SC. Since then, we have taught hundreds of Myrtle Beach area vacationers and locals at venues across the strand.
We are excited to expand in the 2026 season to provide in-home classes for bachelorette parties, girls trips, golf trips, etc. in a town where fun, good vibes, and a balanced life take precedent.
The philosophy
When we add Pilates, it awakens the spirit through mind body connection and connection with one another.
Joseph Pilates’ philosophy that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, not only applies to the Pilates principles themselves of controlled, precise movement, but to how we show up in our everyday lives.
What we teach
Built off a true Pilates foundation.
Our classes are all built off of a true Pilates foundation. Our signature real mat Pilates class builds off of the original mat series, first called Contrology by Joseph Pilates.
While we lead with a Pilates foundation and true mat Pilates, our private classes can also be tailored to your group’s preference.
- Mat Pilates
- Yoga sculpt
- Barre on the mat
- Restorative stretch
Classes are tailored to your group. Please let us know if you have any special requests.
Your instructor
Meet Kimberly.
Kimberly has been teaching group fitness classes for over a decade. She first discovered the unique benefits of Pilates in 2015 while working with personal trainer and master Pilates instructor, Sonja Lyth, in Arlington, Va.
After teaching group fitness for several years, she relocated to the North Myrtle Beach, SC area in 2021, leaving her full-time remote public relations job to pursue a 500-hour comprehensive Pilates certification. She has since taught over 800 hours of classes on the reformer, chair, tower/springboard, and mat.
In addition to hosting pop-up and at-home mat classes, she also currently teaches in-studio group reformer/tower/chair classes at Paradise Pilates TI in North Carolina.
