A certified personal trainer, triathlon coach and Pilates instructor, Janis Parisi Luby apprenticed under Master Pilates instructor, David Englund. Before realizing her dream of opening her own studio in 2008, she was an elementary school teacher and coached tri-athletes at Northwestern University. Janis values teaching, learning, and the transformative benefits Pilates offers. She loves seeing her clients succeed, no matter what their individual challenges and goals are. Sometimes, just showing up is the greatest task! With her sharp eye for detail, Janis adjusts workouts according to her clients’ needs by strengthening backs, recomposing gaits, and ironing out posture – all delivered with compassion, enthusiasm and precision – much in the spirit of Joseph Pilates himself. Janis is nationally recognized by the Pilates Method Alliance.
