Davis's Original Pilates Studio
Serving Davis Since 2003
Build strength, mobility, and confidence through classical Pilates. Whether you are looking for customized group classes or dedicated 1-on-1 private instruction, we tailor every program to your body and goals.
Authentic Classical Pilates & Contrology, Customized to Your Body
At Lift Pilates, we move beyond mass-market fitness classes and one-size-fits-all routines. As a direct student of Jay Grimes—one of Joseph Pilates’ original proteges—studio founder Laura Shearer brings over 20 years of classical expertise to every session.
Using the complete system of classical apparatus, we design structured programs tailored specifically to your alignment, injury history, and physical goals. Whether you are transitioning safely out of physical therapy or looking to build lifelong core strength and mobility, you will receive dedicated guidance in a warm, supportive studio environment.
I look forward to working with you.
