Grace Rackowe, Owner
IM=X Pilates Studio, Coral Gables FL
Grace discovered Pilates 4 years ago and was hooked from the get-go. Having been an elite gymnast and always having a passion for all sports and fitness activities, Grace immediately found a connection with the IM=X Pilates work-out. Grace previously worked in the corporate world in the Miami area, and after obtaining her M.B.A wanted to venture out to start her own business. IM=X Pilates was the perfect fit to match something she enjoyed so much and be able to offer it to others. Grace was born in Peru but has lived in South Florida since childhood.

Courtney, Certified IM=X Pilates Instructor - After spending the last four years practicing Pilates, Courtney recently made the move from small town Connecticut to big city Miami to pursue her dream of becoming a Pilates Instructor.  Movement and athletics are in Courtney's blood, so it's not wonder this path has chosen her.  At Penn State, where she graduated with a BA in Communications and a minor in Anthropology, Courtney was a full-scholarship Basketball athlete.  She enjoys other sports as well such as Volleyball, Baseball and of course, Penn State Football.  When she's not thinking about sports, she's working hard on her second career- modeling.

Daisy, Certified IM=X Pilates Instructor - Daisy has been a Yoga Instructor for four years now.  A lifelong lover of dance, she grew up intricately studying the body movements of the great ballet dancers of the world.  Owning her own reformer for about 5 years now, Pilates has been a part of Daisy¹s daily life.  Deciding she wanted to teach Pilates, as this form of exercise is in many ways analogous to a ballet dancer¹s physical training, Daisy seeked a certification in the traditional Pilates Method in 2004.  It was a natural progression for her to be trained in IM=X Pilates, as she has always incorporated body sculpting and strength training techniques in her traditional Pilates classes, and IM=X resembles much of what Daisy embodies in her method of teaching, creating a compass for total body conditioning, and all through the control of Breath.  Daisy has lived in Miami, Florida since childhood, and shares her life with her adorable son Michael, and her precious Chihuahua Amadeus.

IM=X Pilates founder, Elyse McNergney, studied and was certified by Romana Kryzanowska at The Pilates Studio in NYC before obtaining a certification in the Alexander Technique and two Masters Degrees (M.A. in Movement Science and an M.Ed. in Exercise Physiology at Columbia University). Impressed with the versatility and overall benefits of Pilates-style training, Elyse and her team of Exercise Physiologists created the IM=X Pilates program to reflect the changes and research of today's fitness and rehabilitation markets.
