Jill Gevisenheit
Owner and IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
I have been in the world of movement since the age of 4, when I started dance classes. Dance of all forms shaped who I am today. After receiving a BFA in Dance from the University of Michigan in 1991 I went on to New York City to pursue a career in dance and theatre. In 1993 I went back to school, Hunter College, to get a MS in Dance Movement Therapy. After several years working with children with special needs, I decided it was time to move on. I trained in 2006 to teach Barre, then was certified in TRX and then in 2011 went on to begin my Pilates training with IM=X® Pilates. I began with the Basic IM=X® Mat and Xercizer certifications, then added the Advanced Xercizer, Cycle Tower, Platform and then Tower certifications. Now in 2017 I decided it was time to take IM=X® Pilates to another level, and I am the new owner.

I purchased my first gym membership when I was a teenager, and have been hooked on fitness ever since. In 2005, I decided to make fitness my career. I teach and am certified in many formats, including IM=X® Mat Pilates, Cycling, Zumba, Strength training and Cardio Kickboxing. I am also a black belt in Karate. I joined the IM=X® team in 2014. I love teaching and training on the IM=X® Xercizer.
Keti Kovalenko
IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
I was born and raised in Georgia, Eastern Europe. I have always been drawn to music and dance, so I started taking dance classes at the age of 5. Soon I was consistently winning major competitions like World Dance championships, caucasus cup and etc. Until life took me on another path and I moved to a whole new country. I am always trying to stay healthy and trying out new exercises. IM=X Pilates came naturally to me and eventually became a certified trainer. I like to engage with my class and keep it fun,but challenging. I focus on correct posture, brealthing and achieving goals of my clients.
Nancy Bambino
IM=X® Pilates Certified Instructor
I have been in dance, choreography, stage movement, theater and directing (BA from Temple University), teaching, curriculum and instruction for over 50 years. The best way to stay young, vibrant, and relevant to yourself and others is this: don’t stop moving, do IM=X Pilates - a miracle for everyone with musculo-skeletal issues – and in my case, help others achieve their fitness goals. Teaching is my passion (MAED from University of Phoenix)), teaching Pilates is a calling! I love partnering with women who are dedicated to being the strongest and healthiest they can be.
We’re excited to welcome you to IM=X® Pilates and Fitness!
Start with an Introductory Session so you can get familiar with the studio, equipment, and our unique approach to Pilates. During your first session, you’ll learn the IM=X® fundamentals as well as experience our unique 1st Session routine on the Xercizer. We of course will adjust this workout formula to support your level.
Tips:
- Come 10 minutes early dressed in comfortable workout attire
