Who Are We?

Oh What Fun...Always!

Hello and welcome to our website!  My name is Lisa Byrne and I’d like to brief you in on who I am.  Presently, I am the Chief Creative Officer at my physical business which is Pilates for Sport, LLC located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In 1987, I earned a B.S in Exercise Sciences and became a Certified Pilates Instructor in 2001.   My experience in the fitness industry goes back 18 years  and have owned my movement studio since 1999. 

 A daily delight, not just for myself but for all that visit, are my 2 rescued greyhounds, Buddy & Nubi, who enjoy being a part of the culture.

Almost 5 years ago I started to make a slow left turn in an industry that seemed to be obsessed with speed at all costs in a world in which 60% of our people are unhappy with their body. For me, the physical education piece of it was AWOL and had been left by the wayside as a college major which produced ‘gym teachers’. Getting fit, or starting an exercise program was being boxed into something that you pound into the body, which in many cases lost its steam simply because of a weak foundation combined with an unintelligible approach.  In 2005, bells started to ring of sensiblity and practicality in learning about functional training.  Functional training seemed to fit the bill in promising a future of learning how to view the bodywork in terms of a moving continuum. 

My team and I are  passionate, cultural creatives when it comes to movement, exercise and experiential fitness design.  We are dedicated to helping others increase their awareness that fitness is truly about one’s overall relationship to the environment, rather than something that is done as a ‘have to’ routine. Once you step into this new paradigm, the sky is the limit!   We think you’ll see why as you explore our ideas!
