Lift Fitness Studio

I started with Juanita 12 years ago with weight lifting. She taught me about nutrition and helped me become strong and healthy. About 6 years ago we moved to Pilates workouts which helped me after breast cancer. She has accommodated a knee replacement and adjustments after a mastectomy. I love that she listens to the client, adjusts, but keeps pushing me to be healthier and stronger. If you want results, Juanita is your person!

I absolutely love Pilates at Lift Fitness Studio. I have done individual and small group classes. Juanita’s knowledge and instruction have made so much difference in my body awareness, stability and strength. I feel the difference. Friends have noticed I look more toned! Very happy with the results!

Dana and Juanita are amazing instructors. I absolutely love going to the duet and personal sessions. Pilates has helped me so much mentally and physically. The equipment is great to work with and very challenging. Every class is different and has so many options. The facility is organized and clean. I highly recommend becoming a member to improve your health and well-being!!!!!!

Juanita. Is. Amazing! She has been so instrumental in helping me improve my physical health; I could never thank her enough. My time in her studio has not only been good for my physical health it has done wonders for my mental health as well, after a workout I am rejuvenated and refreshed. Dana and Michelle are very knowledgeable and know how to put you through the paces in the Pilates studio.

Juanita is an incredible soul. Her passion for Pilates and her clientele shines in everything she does from coaching to the space she provides training in. I have never experienced a trainer who is as invested in the well being and overall health of her clients like Juanita does. I was intimidated by Pilates, but Juanita met me right where I was and continues to encourage me, support and push me to the next level. She makes Pilates a joyful experience even when you are sweating and swearing haha!. I look forward to every one on one session I have with her! If you are looking to change your body AND your mindset, come to Lift. Whether you are brand new or you’ve had years of experience in Pilates, there is a place for you at LIFT

I started Lift about 5 years ago as an early teenager. I had a lot of back and knee pain from living a more sedentary lifestyle. At the time, Juanita offered a teenage class for Pilates. Doing Pilates was one of the first formal exercise classes that I had ever taken. When I started it was very challenging to perform the exercises correctly and I remember vividly how frustrated I would get when I couldn’t. There have been times even now that I don’t want to go in and do Pilates. But when I get home from doing Pilates, I always feel so much better. And I have been knee and back pain free for 4 years. There many women who are taught by Juanita, so at first I felt a little uncomfortable, but she also trains some men who I have had the pleasure of working out with. Jaunita has the ability to push me when needed and show me how to correctly move. Of all the things I’ve done, I have grown to love Pilates as one of my favorite things to do.

Several years ago I heard about LiftFitnessStudio… there was no way it was for me nor could I ever come close to such a high mark of workout expertise! What changed my mind? The words of a woman who has faced extremely difficult health challenges… “I’ve never felt stronger, than when I go Pilates with Juanita.” Therefore, I had no excuse. I may be aging, but I am stronger, more flexible and physically confident! Thank you, Juanita!

If you’re looking for a gym with a trainer to just give you workouts then Lift Fitness Studio is not a place for you. When you walk into Lift you walk into a high-end studio. It feels like some place that belongs in downtown New York City. The experience you get is nothing like a gym. Juanita has so much knowledge and experience that she gives you more than just a work out. She works with you on all your fitness goals from building muscle, losing weight, as well as your nutrition. She wants to see you succeed. If you’ve never tried Pilates I encourage you to try it with Juanita. Anyone can lift a weight but Pilates is nothing like that. Since I have started doing Pilates I haven’t had to see a chiropractor and when I miss a week, I know it. Even when I had an injury to my shoulder I still didn’t have to miss workouts because Juanita rearranged my workouts to fit my capabilities. She’s amazing. I also can’t forget about Dana. Dana substitutes sometimes for Juanita and she does an excellent job at teaching Pilates too. You can’t go wrong with either of these ladies!

LIFT is one of my favorite places in Gillette! I have been enjoying Pilates 3x’s a week for the past seven years! I am confident in Juanita’s abilities as an instructor, and her expertise in adapting the exercises to fit my particular needs. She is an excellent motivator, and has helped me to come to love pilates almost as much as her. There are some days I dread going, it is physically and mentally challenging, but I ALWAYS leave feeling so much better and so glad I went. As a middle aged woman, Pilates has certainly helped me to age with confidence and strength.

What I appreciate about Juanita is that she has small classes. She pays attention to each student’s abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. She makes sure that we do the exercises correctly in order to improve our strength, posture, and flexibility.
