After training for the Boston Marathon in 2002, which left her plagued with injury, Lisa began to seek a greater knowledge of the work not only for her own body but for others as well. She entered the Fletcher Pilates® Comprehensive Program, formerly the Ron Fletcher Program of Study® and became a Qualified Teacher. She has also completed all requirements to be a certified PMA teacher. Most recently Lisa has been promoted by the Fletcher Pilates, Inc. to be a Fletcher Faculty.


Lisa has studies with Deborah Lessen, in NYC to gain a greater depth of the classical lineage of Pilates. She has also taken courses with Tom Myers – for additional anatomy study, Yamuna Zake – in Body Rolling a myofacial release technique, and Eric Franklin – a an anatomy and movement teacher. Lisa has most recently began studying with Madeline Black, an advanced movement teacher, through her online intensive courses.  Lisa is always seeking to expand her knowledge base to assist in her teaching.

Karen Oxholm

Karen Oxholm has been an athlete her entire life, competing in a variety of sports at local and national levels.

Karen completed the Teacher Training Program with Lisa Priebe in the Summer? of 2018. This will be her fourth career following that of banker, school librarian/tennis coach, and mother.

She began Pilates workouts over five years ago. Karen instantly understood the value of implementing the movement principles at the onset, particularly as it related to the cross-training that she engaged in to improve her performance in sports.

Pilates improved her other regular activities, too, including weight training, tennis, golf, swimming and cycling.

Her experience is valuable to clients who are concerned about recovering from injuries and advancing in the aging process. She is especially knowledgeable about the rigors of athletes who wield racquets. She encourages all athletes to introduce Pilates into their routines early on.

You will find Karen in the studio at the front desk, teaching individual clients, leading or participating in classes, perfecting her own skills and sharing her enthusiasm for Pilates with others.
