FAQs for International Partners

What is IM=X®?

IM=X® stands for “Integrated Movement eXercise.” Although you don't pronounce the equals sign, it's appropriate that IM=X® resembles a scientific equation: it’s an elite fitness formula that adds the lengthening and toning benefits of pilates plus strength-training and cardio components. IM=X® applies modern research in spinal fitness while incorporating other physical disciplines such as cycling, barre, tower, yoga, and more.

Changing Lives

We are thrilled to be re-signed for our next 10 year term…Out of all of my different careers this is by far the best thing I have ever done and I truly love what I do! The IM=X® Pilates franchise allowed my husband to quit his job, and we have lived solely off our IM=X studio’s income for the past 10 years with a great lifestyle and more freedom.”

Elyse – Thank you for reaching out. My story is that I had an accident 4 years ago and 3 surgeries on my ankle. Until I started your IM=X® reformer classes, I had really struggled to regain strength and get back to a regular exercise routine. But I don’t need to tell you how great your program is!

IM=X® is the perfect adjunct to chiropractic care…a comprehensive, safe and superior approach to back exercise rehabilitation.“

The IM=X® Reformer, or Xercizer is superior to any other reformer I have tried. The carriage, shoulder blocks, foot-bar, handles, and foot loops are comfortable; the carriage has a smooth glide and can accommodate tall and heavy clients; the springs are heavier but can be fine-tuned… the addition of a lumbar support allows for exercise variations; the jump board is big and also has comfortable padding; the ability to remove the shoulder blocks and foot-bar, and having the oversized carriage pads have proven useful in working with clients with physical limitations due to injury/surgery. These Xercizers are big and heavy so they give a solid base for an aggressive workout.”

I can’t say enough about IM=X® Pilates! Having suffered from chronic lower back pain for years, I’ve been scared to do any leg workout. Now, with an IM=X® Pilates workout, I can have total back protection in a Tower or an Xercizer class and a total-body workout.”

At the age of 18 years old  I was in a car accident that left my upper back and neck hurting, weak, and -years later – causing headaches and migraines. IM=X® Pilates allows me to finally break free from pain and correct my bad muscle patterns and posture. I know I can have a healthy, strong back, and help others dealing with this issue.”

I had a 2-level lumbar fusion in 2013. Since then, I have experienced loss of mobility, soreness, pulling, tightness, pain and general discomfort in my lower back and legs. I started IM=X® in May of last year, and have since seen a vast improvement. I have much more core strength which has reduced my pain, and enabled me to continue to be active and better manage the days that I do have pain. I am excited to share this amazing workout with friends, family and clients.”

Coming from a background in Physical Therapy and traditional Pilates, I find IM=X® to be exceptional. It works your whole body with balance and flow, and is easy to modify for each client within the same class. The IM=X® Pilates equipment is comfortable, safe and well built. IM=X® provides ongoing teacher training for all my staff who are able to appropriately modify resistance, reps, and range of motion for our clients.”

Spine stabilization exercises are crucial for a healthy spine. IM=X® trainers assist physical therapists in making patients physically fit…It’s common that a patient will learn an exercise in a clinic, only to repeat it at home with incorrect form. This is why the IM=X® program is effective — trainers work with the patient’s on repeating important exercises at the clinic…Abdominal and back strengthening exercises performed correctly will help people feel confident to resume an active lifestyle.”
