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.”

- PilatesStyle Magazine

Here is one equation that will keep you fit! The benefits of an IM=X® workout have been discovered by many pro athletes, including members of the New York Mets …IM=X® offers a cross-conditioning system focusing on muscle efficiency through posture and core endurance. The comprehensive program includes resistance training, plyometrics and innovative formats…IM=X® brings intensity and efficiency to functional-strength and flexibility training.”

- Physical Magazine

I recently found a method of training that uses aspects of pilates but is geared towards the non-dancer…This method is called IM=X® which stands for Integrated Movement Xercize. Based on pilates, IM=X® puts more emphasis on strength…If you do the exercises consistently, with proper form, you will see and feel the difference!”

- Women’s Fitness

Integrated Movement Xercize (IM=X®). It’s loosely based on pilates — a muscle toning and flexibility program –but IM=X® is a formula that packs more of a strength-training punch. IM=X® pioneer Elyse McNergney leads exercisers 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.”

-Fitness Magazine

I had a fitness epiphany in a class called IM=X®. Created by Elyse McNergney, M.Ed., M.A., IM=X® stands for Integrated Movement Xercize…Each repetition demanded extreme concentration. My legs shook because despite all my training, they didn’t recognize – and couldn’t handle – the new movements…I broke a sweat and was thrilled to feel the lower part of my abs burn…The IM=X® class passed my fitness test: I was sore and sweaty. But, more than that, the next morning my run seemed a little boring in comparison.”

-Shape Magazine

You need strong core muscles, front and back, to keep your spine elongated and healthy says Jeffrey Goldstein, M.D., a spine surgeon at the Hospital for Joint Diseases…so we asked Elyse McNergney, founder of IM=X® to design a back-focused workout exclusively for SELF…In two weeks, you’ll have better posture and more powerful muscles. But don’t stop there! Within four weeks, you’re bound to look great in any bare-back style, because a strong back is a sexy back — and that feels good all over.”
