Meet the Business Owner: Deborah L.
Hi! My name is Deborah Lavinsky, NCPT, Owner of Phoenix Pilates and Rossiter Center.
I discovered the exercise system known as Pilates and fell in love with how I felt after my first lesson. Over time I have lost over 86 pounds; going from a size 22 to a petite size 4; run the PF Chang's Rock and Roll Half Marathon and competed and finished nine sprint triathlons in my 50s. Pilates has helped me gain a leaner and stronger body, improved my balance, it gives me a sense of relaxation, and as a result I feel more confident. It has helped me through arthroscopic knee surgery with more flexibility than I had when I was in my 30's. July 2019 I had spinal fusion and used Pilates (per my spine surgeon)to rehab myself back to health.
I completed advanced comprehensive Pilates training through the Pilates Sports Center, proudly am a Pilates Method Alliance Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT) and I am the only Certified Level 4 Rossiter for Pain management and mobility Practitioner in Arizona.
