Katherine Corp

Katherine and Kimberly Corp are dancers, entrepreneurs and wellness experts who are excited to share the benefits of Pilates with everyone! After dancing with the Radio City Rockettes, the two have dedicated their lives to helping people reach their fitness and wellness goals through Pilates, active lifestyles and healthy living. Kimberly and Katherine started practicing Pilates in the ‘90’s to help themselves transition from corporate jobs into professional dancing careers. Though they had danced all their lives, years of sitting at desks had warped their once lithe frames into tighter, less upright versions of themselves! Pilates not only helped them regain strength and flexibility safely and effectively, but also restored their posture, so they were walking taller and straighter. After dancing with the Radio City Rockettes and touring the world, the pair decided to combine their business and movement backgrounds and opened what is now Manhattan’s largest Pilates studio, Pilates on Fifth, in 2000. In 2008, Katherine and Kimberly developed an online video website, PilatesonFifthOnline.com, to bring the benefits of Pilates to a wider audience. Fitness trends can come and go, but Pilates has endured since the 1930’s. With “Pilates for Beginners”, Kimberly and Katherine are excited to get “back to the basics” and address the technique and proper execution of Pilates that is crucial to reaping its benefits. PilatesonFifthOnline.com offers an excellent supplement to the book, with exercise videos to help you start and maintain a consistent Pilates practice.
