Studio Founder | Kim Toonders
Meet Kim
I’m passionate about creating a space where movement, community, and well-being come together. With over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, a full studio certification in Pilates, and a background as an RMT (registered massage therapist), I bring a deep understanding of body mechanics and movement to everything I do. This foundation allows me to help people move better, feel stronger, and find balance in their bodies.
My journey with Pilates began when I was searching for a way to reconnect with my own body after experiencing burnout and injuries. Pilates not only reignited my love for fitness, but it also became a powerful tool for supporting both my mental and physical health. The incredible balance that Reformer Pilates offers - combining strength, flexibility, and mindfulness - deepened my passion for helping others discover how transformative movement can be.
I’ve seen firsthand how small, intentional changes can create life-changing results. Whether someone is starting fresh, recovering from an injury, or looking to elevate their fitness routine, my goal is to guide them toward feeling empowered and confident in their bodies.
I’m incredibly grateful to see our growing community thrive. It’s a privilege to share this journey with so many inspiring individuals, and I’m honored to witness the transformations that happen when people find joy and empowerment through Pilates.
I can’t wait to meet you!

Deep understanding of the body
Why I Started Redefine
After my own experience with burnout and injuries, I knew how it felt to be disconnected from my body. Pilates helped me find my way back, and I wanted to share that with others.
What I kept noticing was that many people either felt intimidated walking into a studio, or weren’t getting the guidance their bodies actually needed. I wanted to build somewhere different. A space where classes are thoughtfully designed, instructors genuinely know their craft, and you’re seen as a person rather than a number on the timetable.
Redefine Reformer is that place. It’s a studio built on care, good movement, and a community that cheers you on, and I’m proud of what we’ve created together.
“Movement is more than just exercise; it’s a way to reconnect with yourself, find balance, and grow stronger - physically, mentally, and as a community”
What we believe
Good movement is the foundation for everything else. We focus on quality, control, and understanding how your body works.
Move better.
Strength is about how you feel in your everyday life, from carrying groceries to getting down on the floor to play with your kids.
Feel stronger.
Strength, flexibility, and mindfulness work best together. Every class is designed with all three in mind.
Find balance.
One community.
You’ll recognise faces here. We celebrate the small wins, and we keep showing up for each other.
