Growing up as a competitive gymnast and cheerleader, Kelly Walker caught the exercise bug from an early age. After graduating from the University of California Davis with a BA in Economics, Kelly went on to become a full-time personal trainer with the YMCA in Weddington. Sometime between running marathons and competing in Iron Man races throughout the US, Kelly found the joys and benefits of Pilates. In 2011 Kelly gained her Pilates mat, reformer and apparatus certificates with Balanced Body University and is passionate about teaching Pilates.
