I’ve been a fanatic about the IM=X method since I was introduced to it 2 years ago when my friend opened a franchise here in Southern California. I’m both a business owner and an active racecar driver…I can’t begin to describe what a difference my IM=X training has made in my overall fitness, and I’m seeing huge improvements to my strength and endurance in the racecar. The ability of the IM=X training and reformer to link muscle groups…It’s also a magic recipe for that beautiful lean muscle that is great for endurance, and which I’ve always struggled to build with a more traditional workout, which tends to add bulk without necessarily aiding coordination and smoothness of movement.”

Stepping the intensity up a notch, IM=X® incorporates cardio and strength-training elements for optimal sculpting success…utilizing pelvic and ribcage stabilization techniques…plyometric jump segments sprinkled throughout the workout which was created by exercise physiologist Elyse McNergney.”

IM=X® conditioning has been beneficial for Orel Hershiser and our athletes. As a sports conditioning coach I can see how this program can help not only baseball players, but all athletes. The IM=X® program and equipment can help prevent injury and increase performance. It is safe and effective.”

IM=X® is a formula that packs more of a strength-training punch. IM=X® pioneer and exercise physiologist Elyse McNergney leads members through a series of toning and stretching moves on a sturdier version of the pilates reformer (The Xercizer) …You’ll gladly groan through the 30-60 minutes of body shaping.”

Elyse – Thank you for reaching out. My story is that I had an accident 4 years ago and 3 surgeries on my ankle. Until I started your IM=X® reformer classes, I had really struggled to regain strength and get back to a regular exercise routine. But I don’t need to tell you how great your program is!
