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
I’m Laura Shearer, founder of Lift Pilates. As a student of Jay Grimes—one of Joseph Pilates’ direct students—I offer a rare connection to the original classical Pilates method.
Unlike traditional studio classes where everyone follows the exact same routine, Lift Pilates provides individualized instruction tailored to your body using all the classical apparatus (not just a reformer!).
Many clients join us after physical therapy to safely continue building strength, while others come for athletic conditioning, mobility, and long-term joint health. Beginners are always welcome—no prior experience necessary.
I look forward to working with you!
~Laura
