It’s A Core Thing Pilates & Fitness Instructor, Kylie Smith

I specialize in Personal Training, Stott Pilates, and nutrition and wellness counseling in the Myrtle Beach area. Is your current fitness or diet plan not working? My program really works because I work with you one on one to combine nutrition and fitness to help you reach your goals.

What I Can Do For You

I am trained in Stott Pilates, specializing in training on the reformer at “It’s A Core Thing” studio in Myrtle Beach. If you want a lean toned body, with a strong core this is the workout for you. Every exercise focuses in on the use of the core muscles, which include; the back, the abdominals, the shoulders, the chest and the glutes; while also toning the arms and the legs.

STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Co‑founders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent more than two decades refining the STOTT PILATES method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and effective methods available. This clear and detailed approach forms the basis for STOTT PILATES training and certification programs. Its used by rehab and prenatal clients, athletes, celebrities and everyone in between.
