Kali Arnold

Kali is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where her love of fitness began as a competitive gymnast and dancer. She continued to dance in the Vassar Repertory Dance Theater at Vassar College where she graduated with a B.A. in Biology. Kali went on to embark on a career in medicine, graduating with honors from Meharry Medical College. As an athlete who had sustained several injuries, Kali noticed there was a paucity of doctors who understood the unique injuries of dancers and gymnasts. She was inspired to become an orthopedic surgeon to help athletes like herself. After completing her orthopedic surgery residency she finished a fellowship in foot and ankle reconstructive surgery before relocating to Atlanta to join a private practice group.

 

Throughout her medical studies, fitness remained a constant in her life through Pilates, yoga, tennis, and weight training. Her Pilates instructor encouraged her to obtain her Pilates certification, and she completed her teacher training through the Power Pilates program in 2014. She began teaching at large fitness clubs and boutique fitness centers in the Atlanta area before finding a home at Core Buckhead.

 

Kali is Pilates Method Alliance certified and Exhale Barre certified. She is also a member of the Yoga Alliance after completing her RYT 200 for yoga with Yandara Yoga Institute in Bali, Indonesia. Kali is thrilled to be able to merge her love of fitness and her extensive medical knowledge of injury treatment and prevention to help a variety of clients through health and wellness.
