Pilates has been my source of strength and fitness since my first experience in 2003 as an alternative to knee surgery. After helping me recover from a spinal injury in 2011, it became a priority in my life and now my profession. As a trainer with a strong background in bio-mechanics and movement anatomy, my sessions focus on alignment and proper mechanics to create strength, flexibility, posture, balance and a more capable body overall. I work with clients of all levels, and I am passionate about sharing with others the changes I've experienced as a result from Pilates.   I believe that through proper form, alignment and training, the body is capable of achieving anything the mind is set to do, and I love helping my clients get there. I am passionate about life, wellness, movement and fitness. Life is short, so I try to make the most of it and inspire my clients to do the same.

Alexis discovered Pilates in 2008 and instantly saw the benefits, as applied to her athletic endeavors, as well as everyday life. She decided to expand upon her knowledge by getting certified with Master Trainer Lara Hudson, at Mercury Fitness.

Alexis likes drawing upon the classical approach although her style is more 'west coast' and athletic. Through Pilates she has been able to foster a powerful connection between the mind and body, which she aims to impart to her clients as well. Alexis is a firm believer that our bodies are our machines and we need to know how to maintain them and how to use them effectively.

With a background in design (interiors, events, apparel), she appreciates the creativity in Pilates: every workout is different because each one is designed uniquely. It never gets boring, and it can always be more challenging with the slightest variation in movement. She looks forward to creating a fresh, balanced routine just for you and to help you reach your fitness goals through dynamic, fun classes or private appointments. When she’s not teaching, Alexis can be found riding her bike around Marin, working on her line of women's cycling apparel, Lexi Miller or walking her Golden Retriever, Jasper.
