Marissa Belcoff
Owner/Certified Pilates Instructor/Teacher Trainer

Marissa Belcoff is the owner of Madison Pilates, LLC, and a certified Pilates instructor. She began her Pilates teaching career in 2001, established a private studio in 2004, and opened her classical Pilates studio in 2006 in Madison, WI.

Marissa has trained with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable Pilates educators of our time. She received her Pilates certification in all apparatus and mat work from Core Dynamics, Santa Fe, NM, a program designed by Michele Larsson. MicheleÕs Core Dynamics is based on her training with Eve Gentry, a master teacher who trained and worked with Joseph Pilates for 22 years. Marissa is proud to be only four generations removed from the seminal work of Pilates himself.

Marissa dedicated two years to the teacher training program under the tutelage of Virginia Nicholas, MA, RN, owner of Moving Breath Pilates in Tempe, AZ. This program consisted of over 2000 hours of observation, assistant teaching, student teaching, and personal practice. It was after this intense training that she became confident in her ability to enrich others in body and mind. At present, Marissa is studying Naturopathy in the Clayton College of Natural Health program.

In her Pilates practice, Marissa has helped people with various health problems and limiting physical conditions such as scoliosis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, multiple sclerosis, and post-surgery and injury rehabilitation. She works with men and women of all ages and abilities.
