After years of hearing recommendations from my physiotherapists and chiropractors to try Pilates due to my sports-related injuries, I finally decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did because Lisa truly transformed my life. Her patience and personalized plan have greatly improved my mobility. I highly recommend Pilates to anyone considering a change in their fitness routine. Thank you, Lisa, and I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey with you at your new studio.

It’s hard to believe that I have been working with Lisa Erlic for over 3 years now, but we began working together in the fall of 2020. Back then, I was so totally naive about what I was getting myself into, as all I knew was that Pilates was supposed to be good for people with hypermobility issues like myself. I quickly learned that this was something that I needed in my life regularly - it was so much more than what I initially expected! We have fostered a beautiful relationship over the years which is unparalleled to anything I have ever experienced. Lisa’s expert knowledge and experience meets me where my body is, and it seems like she always knows what I need. Her compassion, the space she holds for me, and her dedication to helping me build strength and feel good in my body as my guide through my Pilates journey is truly priceless. She planted the seeds very early on and nurtures them at every lesson and class I have with her. Whether it’s a private lesson, a group class, or a MELT Method session, I highly recommend Lisa to be your guide as well. 

I also had the pleasure of working with Krista remotely a few times through some Zoom classes, and I loved her energy and creativity during those sessions. They were fun and challenging, but also suitable for multiple levels by teaching the basics and building up to the challenges for those who were ready for them. Her laugh, like Lisa’s, might just be a bit infectious and put a smile on your face like it does for me. 

You really can’t go wrong working with Lisa or Krista. You’ll be met wherever your body and mind are at, and you’ll find yourself in engaging movement with down to earth and fun teachers guiding and supporting you the whole way.

I have been working out with Lisa for almost 8 years and I thank my lucky stars that I found her! She is inspiring, fun, and so intuitive and knowledgeable about Pilates, MELT, and movement. She is so respectful of where everyone is on their fitness journey and knows how to get the best out of us all. I’ve taken a few different classes with Lisa and she has a way of creating a community of each one.

Lisa! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
