Jim brings a diverse background to the IM=X Blue Bell Team. He spent 6 years in the military and incorporates his boot camp and physical training experience, though not necessarily a drill sergeant demeanor. He is also a third-generation musician in a performing marching band. At a young age he was an award-winning dancer; he has played soccer, hockey, and volleyball; and he continues to run, bicycle and personally train on the Xercizer machine.

Beth Thune, IM=X Trainer
Beth has been an avid exerciser for most of her life. She was a dance student as a child and an athlete throughout her school years. After teaching elementary school in the New York City school system, she retired to take care of her son. When she moved to Blue Bell, Beth decided to begin a new career in fitness, becoming a certified Mat Pilates instructor over 3 years ago. After taking classes at IM=X Blue Bell, she absolutely loved the way her body felt using the Xercizer. She decided to get her IM=X certification, and completed the Basic Xercizer training in September 2007. She's been working with IM=X clients ever since! She loves how this exercise helps clients increase their strength, balance and flexiblility, and allows them to achieve a level of fitness like no other has done for them in the past. When not in the studio, she likes to run, do strength training, volunteer at her son's school, and spend time with her husband Michael and son, Alex.

 

 

IM=X Pilates founder, Elyse McNergney, studied and was certified by Romana Kryzanowska at The Pilates Studio in NYC before obtaining a certification in the Alexander Technique and two Masters Degrees (M.A. in Movement Science and an M.Ed. in Exercise Physiology at Columbia University). Impressed with the versatility and overall benefits of Pilates-style training, Elyse and her team of Exercise Physiologists created the IM=X Pilates program to reflect the changes and research of today's fitness and rehabilitation markets.
