Lift Pilates is nearly full—but I always make room for the right fit.
If you're ready to feel strong, supported, and seen, let's start with a conversation.
Rooted in Tradition, Powered by Community, Lift Pilates has been part of the Davis landscape since 2003—offering Joseph Pilates' original method Contrology—in a truly open studio setting.
This isn't casual fitness. It's classical Pilates for people who are ready to commit—people who want to feel capable, connected, and confident—one movement at a time.
