Meet the Team Behind Your Naperville Pilates Studio

Certified instructors at Shyft, a Naperville Pilates studio specializing in Reformer and Mat classes

More Than Just a Workout—A Community Committed to Your Strength & Well-Being

 

At Shyft Pilates, we believe Pilates isn’t just exercise—it’s a way back to yourself. For years, our Naperville studio has been a haven for people who want to move better, feel stronger, and live with more energy. And in 2025, our family stepped in to carry this mission forward.

We’re a husband-and-wife team raising three kids right here in Naperville. Marlissa has been part of Shyft for over five years—first as an instructor, then studio manager. Her passion for Pilates grew in this space, and after seeing the impact it had on so many lives, we knew it was time to lead Shyft into its next chapter.

Pilates has the power to heal, strengthen, and inspire. Every class is tailored to your body, your goals, and your life. We believe fitness should feel personal, empowering, and sustainable—something that lifts you up instead of wearing you down.

With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of lives transformed, we’ve built a studio that blends expertise with heart, premium equipment with a welcoming space, and real results with lasting support.

This isn’t just a business. It’s our family’s commitment to helping you feel your best—strong, energized, and ready for what’s next.

Let’s make this your strongest chapter yet.
