Healing and Longevity Begin with Awareness

Every body is unique. At MatWorkz Pilates, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all movement. Whether you’re an athlete, returning from injury, or simply wanting to move well and stay strong as you age, your practice should reflect you—how you move, what you’ve experienced, and what your body is ready for.

Your  first lesson is a dedicated one-on-one experience with one of our legacy instructors. We take the time to listen, observe, and work with you—so together we can understand your patterns, support where you are, and begin shaping a path forward. Rooted in the authentic teachings of Joseph Pilates and the GYROTONIC ® system, our work builds strength, coordination, and ease—so movement feels more connected, responsive, and sustainable.

A Deeper Look at How You Move

Your initial lesson is more than an exercise class—it’s a one-on-one experience where we begin to understand how you move.

  • Guided Movement Experience:  we observe how you organize yourself—how you find support, where you compensate, and where there’s opportunity for more ease and strength.
  • Introduction to the Authentic Method: Experience classical Pilates and GYROTONIC ® equipment—including the Universal Reformer, Wunda and High Chair, Cadillac, Barrels,  Pulley Tower and Jumping Stretching Board—tailored to support joint decompression and muscular symmetry.
  • Movement you can take with you: Simple, practical ways to work with your body—reducing tension, improving mobility, and using breath and gravity to support your nervous system and build more efficient, resilient movement.

Step away from the hustle of crowded commercial gyms. MatWorkz Pilates in Winter Park is a warm, unintimidating sanctuary designed for mental focus and educational depth. We prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring you receive the highly individualized attention necessary to master intentional movement and achieve true longevity.

  • I started private lessons with Lisa almost one year ago. After sitting behind a computer for over ten hours a day for the past twelve years, my body was craving movement. I was concerned that I had trouble getting out of my desk chair and that my balance was not what it used to be. I quickly realized working with Lisa three times a week was exactly what I needed. I was not born with the workout gene, but I quickly fell in love with Pilates: building core strength, seeing my posture improve and feeling more confident about my balance.

  • Never have I been as impressed with an instructor’s knowledge and dedication to her craft as I have with my experience with Lisa. Her dedication to my Pilates training has improved my personal body awareness, core strength, flexibility and ability to prevent neck and back injury from golf and other activities of daily living. Though I don’t have the “six-pack” abs, I feel stronger whether I sit, stand or move purposefully.

  • I am so grateful to have found MatWorkz, and Lisa especially.  I suffer from chronic vertigo and for years, it severely limited what kind of exercise I could do.  I had lost so much strength.  Lisa works with me to adapt every exercise in a way that I can do it. She's super kind, very funny, and really warm and supportive.  I have gained so much strength and flexibility, it has greatly improved my every day life. I've become much more active, even starting to play tennis. I can't recommend Lisa highly enough.

    My husband and I have been doing Pilates at MatWorkz for over eight years. Leslie is an amazing instructor and is always challenging us and keeping our workouts innovative and interesting. Leslie has helped us prepare for and recover from surgeries as we age as athletes. Pilates is a means to a healthy and vibrant lifestyle as you age. As former marathon runners and triathletes we were looking for a place to maintain our core strength for our athletic lifestyle. As a result, we continue to enjoy running hiking, biking, and ropes courses as much as we did as a young married couple. The studio is bright, clean and has all the latest equipment. If you are looking for a personalized place to work on your fitness goals, we highly recommend MatWorkz as a studio to stay fit, be challenged, and feel welcomed and appreciated as a client verses a membership number.

  • MatWorkz is a well-designed and very attractive Pilates studio. The team, especially Deborah and Lisa, are extremely knowledgeable about Pilates and match their expertise perfectly to each client’s needs. The experience is both challenging and comfortable as they are excellent at motivating each client but also understanding and adapting to physical limitations. I feel so much better, stronger and taller every time I finish a work-out at MatWorkz!
