Get the movement quality and core centered emphasis of Pilates with the strength building benefits of resistance training

Experience training that combines the progression needed to build muscle, endurance and overall fitness with the precision of Pilates and close attention to how your body moves as a whole.

We increase resistance and movement complexity based on your goals and how your body responds, refining alignment and technique along the way so each progression builds strength on a foundation of better movement.

The result is lasting strength you can feel, see and use in your life.

  • "Clarissa has truly transformed both my body and the way I move through life. Because of her, I am stronger, more stable, more aware of my body, and able to move with greater confidence and ease. She has completely changed my relationship with exercise and with my own body. After eight years, I can honestly say I have never met anyone like her. Working with her has been genuinely life-changing."

  • "I was able to locate and strengthen muscles that I had never noticed before, not after years of Bar Method or PT sessions. Clarissa is very thoughtful and careful about your personal capabilities and explains each move and exercise clearly so you are able to get the most out of the session. "

  • "Having a personal instructor is completely different and so much better. Clarissa is a very good communicator and it is obvious that she has a lot of knowledge for human anatomy. She does a great job of guiding me through positions and making clear what I should and shouldn't be feeling. It is very subtle to be able to tell where muscles are activating or not, but she is extremely in tune and I'm sure is noticing very small adjustments. After three sessions, I feel sure of myself and know how to stand and how to sit. I have no doubt that this will make a really big difference for me long term."

  • "Clarissa has totally transformed my body for the better. I give Clarissa full credit for keeping me both physically and mentally fit throughout each stage. During the height of COVID we had classes over video on the mat and then later had in person reformer classes -- honestly both were challenging and efficient workouts! During class, Clarissa makes sure you're properly aligned with your form and gives very helpful cues -- something that isn't easily done over video. Clarissa is a professional with an eye for detail and results-driven workouts -- I can't recommend her enough!"

  • "I have been working out with Clarissa for over a year and my body has been transformed. I have 3 slipped disk and with Clarissa attention to detail and determination to make sure I have proper form my back has not flared up. She makes sure I'm activating my abs and protecting my back from my injury. I can't thank her enough to ensuring that I'm doing the correct pilates moves."

Learn to integrate your core with everything you do and build the capacity for the life you want to live

The right training supports the demands of your lifestyle and changes more than what you can do in a workout. It changes how you feel in your body, how confidently you take on physical challenges and how freely you say yes to the things you want to do.

Whether that means feeling fitter, keeping up on an active vacation, trying something new, moving through your day with more energy or simply feeling confident in your body, the goal is to train for a body that supports the life you want to live.

Every program is designed to help you feel your best in your body and more capable in everything you do.

  • Get breath work, deep core integration and the challenge your muscles need while maintaining the alignment and technique that allow them to do the work. We don’t add complexity just for the sake of making exercises harder to perform. We balance repetition with purposeful variety based on your body and your goals so you have enough consistency to develop skill and the right challenge to build strength without unnecessary strain, setbacks, injuries or compression.

  • Your program progresses according to how your body responds, not an arbitrary schedule. We adjust resistance, movement complexity, volume and recovery based on what you are adapting to well and what else your body and life are asking of you so you can continue progressing without constantly having to start over.

  • When the right muscles are working and receiving the right amount of challenge, your training becomes more effective. Over time you feel the difference in your strength, confidence and the changes you came for.

  • Your workouts are only one part of the equation. We also look at the recovery, fueling and everyday habits that support your training so you can get more from the work you are already doing. As your goals, schedule and capacity change, we adjust the plan so your fitness can keep evolving with your life.
