Lisa Massey
Instructor
I started practicing Pilates after having my second child 15 years ago. Being a full time mom and working in the fashion retail business, I know I need an exercise routine that would provide me the best results in a long run. I tried many forms of exercises and the most renowned fitness studios out in the market, but I found all those fitness practices rigid and unrewarding to my fitness goals. When I discovered Pilates, it changed my life tremendously in terms of my mental and physical health, and ultimately my career. I instantly loved the graceful; intuitive yet challenging nature of the movement, how it can benefit anyone physically. After about five years of studying Pilates as a student, I realized I would need to practice it forever. This inspired me to share with others, a breakthrough of desiring to become an instructor. I earned my certified teacher program from Club Pilates in 2014 and have been working as a full time instructor for Club Pilates Westlake Village and Granada Hills ever since. I have a nickname as Sargent Lisa. When I am teaching a group or private class, I focus on my cheerful encouragement with butt-kicking workouts, all the while keeping it safe and fun. On a daily basis, I am inspired by the changes I see in front of me as I watch my clients build strength and make health a priority. My advice for all my clients “I’m here to challenge you, you are here to listen to your body and do the best you can”
I like everything beautiful and I’m still very much into the fashion world (my old job as a fashion retail manager). I am always shopping for the hottest fitness outfit. When I am not in the studio teaching, you will find me in my kitchen, my other happy place. Cooking is my other passion. Eating healthy with home made meals go hand in hand with your workouts. Stop and ask me for a recipe or two next time when you see me.
