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.”

- Self Magazine

Built to withstand heavy usage, the Xercizer, is an updated version of the original reformer that features an extra-durable, industrial design. This innovative piece offers a variety of resistance levels that accommodate a wide range of users, and allows individuals to perform, among other things, abdominal and bicep curls, back and triceps extensions, and leg presses. The Xercizer is supported by the company’s IM=X® Program, a turn-key Pilates package designed specifically for fitness facilities.”
