Stephanie M.

Owner/Certified IM=X® Pilates Instructor

Stephanie is the owner of IM=X Pilates & Fitness located in Franklin, Wisconsin. A native of Southeastern Wisconsin, she has always had an interest in fitness and nutrition. Stephanie started her Pilates journey in early 2000. By fate, she was introduced to reformer Pilates in 2012, and there was no turning back. Her passion grew Pilates and she found it a priority to share it with those around who were looking to make positive changes in their health and wellness. A mother of 4 adult children and Paralegal for over 30 years, she decided to make a career change and bring her love for Pilates to the forefront of her life. She was very excited to take the leap with IM=X® Pilates Franchise and received her IM=X® Pilates Certification in 2017. Stephanie says "I didn't just want to become a franchise owner, I wanted to obtain one of many IM=X® Pilates Certifications so I can share my passion of Pilates with so many others. I want to help others strive to be the best they can be and find it so important to not only help them achieve the muscle tone they are looking for, but also strengthen their core and spine providing them with added health benefits and life longevity. IM=X® incorporates cardio and strength training, always challenging your body while sharpening your mind."

Jessica B.

Certified Barre Instructor

I have always been into fitness and health. I started dancing at the age of 14 and now I own a Dance Academy in Burlington, Wisconsin. After moving with my husband to Oak Creek, I sought out a new place to exercise and found a local barre studio nearby. I fell in love with the classes so much that I decided to teach barre. I am excited to join the IM=X® family and am looking forward to sharing my passion for dance and working out with each and every one of you! Let's motivate each other and sweat together.

With a strong foundation in group fitness, I bring years of experience teaching spin, aerobics, and strength classes before taking time to focus on raising my children.

SEE YOU ON THE EXERCIZER <3

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.”
