Founded by Elizabeth Sylvain, Roll Ups pilates brings a fresh, fun approach to pilates. Elizabeth discovered pilates after moving to New York City to pursue a career in advertising. Originally from Park City, Utah, she was a competitive freestyle mogul skier who later became an accredited coach. This background taught her the importance of technique and body awareness—skills that translated perfectly into Pilates. As she deepened her practice, Elizabeth quickly saw how skiing and Pilates shared common values of precision and mindful movement. Elizabeth trained under Heather Anderson at New York Pilates, completing a 350-hour teacher training program that is internationally accredited by The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), The Athletics & Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and The International Sports Science Academy (ISSA). With her experience and passion for both skiing and Pilates, Elizabeth’s approach to movement emphasizes fun, challenge, and growth—helping you feel empowered while achieving your fitness goals.
"I love this class! The vibes are fun and supportive, and it’s just the right level of challenging without feeling impossible. Elizabeth is very sweet and offers modifications for different levels of mobility. I also feel so good (and sore) afterwards."
"I’ve been working with Elizabeth since 2020 and it’s literally changed my life. I was always a little bit intimidated by pilates and workout classes in general until I met Elizabeth! I’ve never been stronger or more confident in my own skin. Her best quality is that she pushes you to challenge yourself and not give up/phone it in, while also listening to injuries and meeting you where you’re at. I can’t wait to see what she does next!!"
"This class was great! Challenging yet super accessible. I felt like I got a great full body workout. Elizabeth was such a good instructor too. She had a super welcoming vibe and made sure everyone felt comfortable and was enjoying the class."
