Jill Bushee
IM=X® Pilates Studio Owner
Jill Bushee is a new IM=X franchise owner. She has her basic IM=X Pilates certification and Tower Barre Certification. She is extremely blessed to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing franchise. Her passion for IM=X Pilates started with disc herniations in 2016 from just one Cross Fit class. IM=X Pilates was her saving grace during this time. After a few months of physical therapy, there was still no relief. She decided to give IM=X Pilates a try. When she walked into an IM=X Pilates studio she could barely get down on the floor to do the free private session. After the session she got off the floor and felt a huge difference in the pain level she was feeling before the session. Her passion to help others feel the same way she did that day is what started her IM=X Franchise journey. When moving to Florida in June of 2020, she could not find another Pilates studio that even came close to the workout and benefits IM=X Pilates had to offer. Fast forward two years...she is EXCITED to bring IM=X Pilates to Fort Myers, Florida.

Alyssa Danner
IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, I recently moved to Fort Myers, Florida to study Psychology at Florida Gulf Coast University. With years of dance experience, I've had experience in Pilates, Yoga, and Barre based workouts that helped in flexibility, posture, alignment and building lean muscles. Upon discovering IM=X® Pilates, I learned that this program helps a wide variety of age groups and creates benefits that apply in every day life. I knew I wanted to be a part of the IM=X Pilates of Fort Myers team that teaches workouts with a focus on growing, personalizing, and empowering the clients. As an instructor, I hope to invest my training into helping clients take control of their body and extend their capacity. I have recently become certified In the IM=X Basic program and I look forward to continuing my education,
