About Lift Pilates
Lift Pilates & Post Rehab is a boutique studio in downtown Davis, CA, founded by 2nd-generation Pilates professional Laura Shearer. The studio offers private lessons and group classes catering to individuals of all fitness levels, with a focus on helping clients recover from injuries and improve their overall health and well-being. Laura's exceptional teaching skills, rooted in classical Pilates, empower clients to build strength, flexibility, coordination, and resilience. The studio's innovative Open Studio Pilates sessions allow clients to learn and practice at their own pace, fostering self-practice habits and a love for Pilates in a fun and dynamic community. With a methodical approach tailored to each client's needs, Laura helps individuals achieve significant improvements in strength, mobility, and flexibility, even in the face of chronic injuries.
I’ve trained with Laura for years and recently took classes with her again while visiting Davis. Lift Pilates is completely different from typical group Pilates classes. Every client follows an individualized program with real-time guidance, so you always know what to do and how to progress.
Laura is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and skilled at teaching classical Pilates in a way that helps you get stronger and move better over time. The small-group, teacher-led environment feels personal and focused, not chaotic or random.
If you’re looking for personalized Pilates training in Davis, California, I highly recommend Lift Pilates.
Lift Pilates was my first experience with one on one instruction in a Pilates Studio that was not physical therapy. Laura Shearer is a fantastic instructor. She is very knowledgeable in Pilates Instruction and has been an athletic instructor most of her adult life. The Pilates Studio in Davis is clean, beautiful and welcoming. The other ‘students’ that are there are very kind and supportive. Everyone seems to be very respectful of one another.
I definitely give Lift Pilates Five Stars!
Excellent training at any level. Laura is exceptional at working with people to help them learn to build their strength, flexibility, coordination, and overall physical well-being. Classical Pilates teaches you a way to learn to listen to your body in terms of what you need and how to get there and Laura is a gifted teacher and guide.
