  Amie Prescott

  Certified Pilates Instructor

  Amie has been active in all areas of fitness for her entire adult life but it wasn’t until she found Pilates that her passion for movement and fitness would turn into a career. She started taking group classes 5 years ago and fell in love with the movements, the challenge, and several other benefits Pilates offers and as they say, the rest is history! - Amie has training in both classical and contemporary Pilates and although she loves the classical work and recognizes the value in what Joseph Pilates created, she gravitates more towards the contemporary exercises that can be done with the Pilates equipment. Amie also truly believes that if Joseph were alive today he would be proud of the progression and advancements that have been made to his impressive repertoire and not want it boxed up into a series of exercises that should never evolve or improve.

  Chelsi Kizerian

  Certified Pilates Instructor

  I’m passionate about my family, good food, and Pilates! My favorite quote from joseph Pilates is “the mind, when housed within a healthful body, possesses a glorious sense of power.” There is power in the ability to be in control of our bodies. I believe the mind, together with the body, is a brilliant tool to our happiness as we enjoy our lives. We are meant to move, and movement heals! My own experiences with Pilates over the years have driven my passion to forever be a part of the Pilates lifestyle. Not only has it strengthened me from the inside out, and balanced me from top to bottom, it was also the meaningful factor that helped my scoliosis heal by 8 degrees! I love physical fitness in all of its varieties, but have found that most people don’t realize how good their bodies were meant to feel until they have incorporated Pilates into their lives. Many different fad exercise plans come and go. Some work great but come with the result of sore, tight muscles, wreaking havoc on the joints and even wear down the discs of the spine. Pilates is the opposite and empowers people to be in control of their own general health and well-being through conscious exercise, mindful breathing, and movement education. I am a Pilates nerd and am beyond giddy when I get to play around with creative movement and body awareness based on fundamental Pilates exercises. I have enjoyed my time learning about the amazing human body through my anatomy and physiology background, dance education, exercise and nutritional studies, Club Pilates certification, and Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) certification. For the past fifteen years, I have had the joy of exploring Pilates, studying it, learning it, doing it, and applying it in my own life and teaching others to do the same. Pilates is a gift! I enjoy being the one who gets to share it with others as I watch them benefit the same way I have.

  Marci Anderson

  Certified Pilates Instructor

  Marci is a Salt Lake girl born and raised. When she was 7 months pregnant with her first baby she graduated from UVU with a degree in Philosophy. After college she spent several years being nomadic before she and her small family settled down back in Salt Lake once again. Running and racing had long been a passion of hers. She practiced yoga regularly to help offset the tightness that comes from distance running and eventually certified as an instructor. After years of teaching yoga and maintaining a fulfilling practice but still finding a great deal of restriction and in her movement, an Ultra Marathon running friend suggested she try Pilates. It was the promise of increased speed and recovery from long runs that swayed her to finally give it a try. She took to it immediately and shortly after began the year long certification process. Downtown Salt Lake and Sugarhouse became familiar territory as she bounced around from Studio to Studio learning the brakes as a newly certified instructor. In 2016 and with only 3 Pilates years under her belt it was baptism by fire as she began running the Pilates Department at Lifetime Fitness. She worked closely with personal trainers and recovery therapists and gained a deeper understanding of common injuries and the best modifications. In August of 2017 she joined the Club Pilates team. She now teaches at all four locations specializing in TRX and Ballet Barre movement. She loves to incorporate philosophies from her yoga practice and elements of body sculpting in every class
