Dawn King

Dawn King, owner of Sun Pilates Studio, is truly passionate about health and wellness. She began dancing at the age of three and danced competitively through her teens. She was also a dedicated basketball player and was awarded a basketball scholarship to Regis University in Denver, CO - where she began teaching group fitness classes to stay in shape during her off season. She moved to Key Largo, Florida shortly after graduating and began teaching step aerobics, spinning, and sculpt/tone group classes at the Key Largo Fitness Center. She then took the Head Group Fitness Instructor position at the prestigous Ocean Reef Club, where she coordinated the group fitness schedule and taught step aerobics, floor aerobics, and sculpt/tone and was also a personal trainer. Dawn then moved back to Colorado in 2003 where she pursued her comprehensive Pilates certification, barre certification, and GYROTONIC® certification. She taught Pilates at numerous studios in Colorado Springs - including contracting with Cheyenne Mountain Resort where she taught (and continues to teach) Pilates Mat, Pilates Reformer, Barre and SUPilates. She opened Sun Pilates Studio in 2011 and began her own Pilates and Barre Certification Program (PilatesSOL®) in 2015. 

Dawn shares her passion for health and wellness with her 10-year-old twins, Tristan and Aria, and her handsome Firefighter Paramedic husband, Brian. She is currently in the process of launching her next (2) businesses: MindfulMONKEY® (children's Yoga, Pilates, and mindful movement) and SOLFood® (clean living through nutrition). She was recently featured in the Spring issue of Living Well magazine as one of Colorado Springs Top Ten "Women Who Inspire". Dawn loves traveling with her family, reading, hiking in her beautiful backyard, and sharing her love of healthy, functional movement and sound nutrition with her clients and community.
