Jin Kwon PTA

Certified Pilates Instructor

Jin is currently on Mat Leave with her baby until Fall 2025

Jin devoted her childhood to dancing and majored in dance in university in South Korea where she was first introduced to Pilates. After graduation, however, due to a back injury, she had to give up dancing and taught English instead. As her back pain continued to worsen she sought rehabilitation through physiotherapy and therapeutic Pilates, and through the exercises was able to achieve a life-changing recovery that led her to the understanding of the restorative power of Pilates.

Jin is a STOTT certified pilates instructor, a NASM certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist and is trained in TRX Suspension Training. She has experience working at different studios and her home-based studio, Bare Mind Pilates in Bowmanville with a variety of clients with different needs such as seniors, prenatal and postnatal rehab clients. She would like to share and increase her knowledge of the development of the mind-body connection through quality of movement and how to apply this to encourage positive results for her clients according to their needs. She has a direct style of teaching meant to not only exercise her clients but educate them as well. Jin is most gratified when she’s able to help her clients achieve their fitness and wellness goals. In addition to Korea, Jin has lived in a number of different regions in Canada, including Kenora, Montreal and Whitefish bay. She enjoys exercising, cooking, dancing and spending time in the great outdoors camping with her family.
