The IM=X® Basic Certification program is just amazing. The 5-day course is intensive but it gets you where you need to be to be able to teach classes right away…”

Kevin and Lori Derella, Owners

I love this equipment… it’s bigger, it’s wider, it’s stronger, has a lot more flexibility to it in terms of being able to have different size people on the machine. The Xercizers are great: solid, steel, made in America, they’re going to last for a long time”

Kevin and Lori Derella, Owners

Kevin and Lori Derella, Owners

In terms of the IM=X® program, I was super impressed with the entire team at IM=X® when I looked at the program and the kind of support that they provide, the detail behind the programs and the education – specifically the instructor education which is a tuition-free program – was just amazing to me.”

Kevin Derella

In only a few months, we have been able to get to a point where the studio is practically running on its own which is why we are now able to focus on opening a second studio…. we are so proud of the IM=X studio that we have built and it is something that we could not have accomplished without the IM=X franchise support.”

Silvia Perucia, IM=X® Owner & Instructor

“We really appreciate all of the support you have provided to us over the last many years. We could not be as successful as we are without that support and we are truly grateful for it. We look forward to many more successful years to come!”

Kevin and Lori Derella, Owners

I have been teaching the IMX programs at Bristol Myers-Squibb since 2002…I feel very fortunate that so many years back the Fitness Center staff at BMS connected with Elyse and we all had the opportunity to learn, train and certify in IMX. Thanks to her knowledge and creativity we all continue to make a difference in the lives of each person that experiences an IMX Mat or Xercizer class.”

- Sharon Combes-Kelemen

We are thrilled to be re-signed for our next 10 year term…Out of all of my different careers this is by far the best thing I have ever done and I truly love what I do! The IM=X® Pilates franchise allowed my husband to quit his job, and we have lived solely off our IM=X studio’s income for the past 10 years with a great lifestyle and more freedom.”

Rhonda Webber, Owner, IM=X® Lake Oswego OR
