Curious if Lift Pilates is right for you?
Let’s start with a conversation.
Rooted in tradition and shaped by community, Lift Pilates has been part of the Davis landscape since 2003. We teach authentic Contrology—the original Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates—through our signature approach, Lift Guided Studio.
This is not drop-in fitness or quick fixes. It’s classical Pilates for people who want to move better, feel stronger, and stay engaged with their bodies over time—supported by expert teaching and a thoughtful studio environment.
If you’re looking for a place where your practice is personal, your progress matters, and you’re known as a whole person, I’d love to connect.
