Beth Zamichow
CERTIFIED MOVEMENT SPECIALIST
Meet Beth Zamichow
The body in motion is activated by strength, flexibility, alignment, and rest. When one of these is missing, our bodies under perform which then affects our minds, our emotions, and our ability to relax and rejuvenate.
The body in motion has been my main interest in life. Armed with a background in dance, I started teaching exercise classes while still in college, and through the years I've studied many forms of physical health and movement.
I offer a range of modalities that can be tailored to your individual needs and goals, including: pilates, core fitness training, senior fitness and health, injury rehabilitation, guided meditation, yoga, aquatic exercise, myofascial release and body rolling, nutritional guidance.
I work with individuals and groups teaching Pilates, fitness, body alignment, and movement in private and corporate settings. My extensive knowledge enables me to work with people of all ages, fitness levels and physical challenges.
I am a Certified Movement Therapist, an instructor with The College Of Sports Medicine, a Certified Pilates Instructor with ITT/ A Body of Work and The Pilates Method Alliance. My constant desire to learn propels me to continue studying movement and body-supportive modalities, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and learnings with you!

SENIOR EXERCISE & HEALTH
My passion is in helping and inspiring people to become more aware of their bodies, improve their posture, and increase strength, balance and flexibility. Students and clients learn how to fully, and correctly activate and engage deep muscles to achieve greater tone and muscular symmetry. I use gentle release techniques and lengthening movements to help reduce stiffness and assist to create a more mobile and comfortable body.
MOVEMENT & MEDITATION
Customized guided meditations will increase your body's ability to relax, and provide a gateway to improved physical and emotional health. You may discover parts of yourself that you might not know or have been in your awareness for a long time, perhaps claim parts of yourself you have cast away.
Classes & Private Sessions
Whether you are working one-on-one or in a class setting, Beths' workouts are constantly shifting and changing – thus resulting in continuing muscle challenge and no dreaded plateaus. The end result is a feeling of having worked yet also feeling more relaxed, physically at ease with greater range of motion and mobility.

The Reviews Are In!
“Beth is a very skilled and knowledgeable instructor. She is able to adjust her class to the abilities of each individual attending. Classes are stimulating and challenging. I especially value the variety of activities. The class never becomes routine. All of her classes involve body and mind work. They are balanced, so that the whole body is engaged.“

"My wife and I have been working with Beth for many years. We have both seen our posture improve and our strength increase. I had back surgery many years ago and am amazed by how much more I am able to move, plus the variety of stretches and exercises I can do now. The repertoire keeps growing thanks to Beth!"
- Sidney Goodwill
"I have worshipped at Beth Zamichow's altar of 'Let's Keep You Well and Kicking' for more years now than I've been alive. She brandishes her whip well, not only in fitness and weight training, but also torques and bends you joyfully in Yoga and Pilates. She's humorous and easy to work with."
- Catherine Coulter
"I have worked with Beth for many years. Her knowledge base is immense, her technique astounding and I love how she makes sure you are always protected. I get to learn how to move my body in a safe way. It is fantastic to get strong as well as long and lean. I wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone that wants to move with more fluidity."
