Elizabeth Sturgis

Elizabeth’s passion for movement began during her studies at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Dance. It was there that she was first introduced to Pilates, a practice that would become a cornerstone of her career. Shortly after graduation, she completed her STOTT PILATES® certification and began teaching Matwork and Reformer Pilates.

With a diverse background in dance and fitness, Elizabeth has spent years helping clients build strength, confidence, and body awareness through movement. In addition to Pilates, she has taught for several respected fitness programs, including Lithe Method, AIR Aerial Fitness, and Pure Barre. Since joining Pure Barre in 2010, she has become a Master Teacher Trainer for Pure Barre Corporate, a role she has held since 2015, mentoring and developing instructors across the country.

Committed to lifelong learning and professional growth, Elizabeth is currently expanding her expertise through NASM’s certification programs, pursuing credentials as a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Performance Enhancement Specialist.

Outside the studio, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her husband and friends, working out, exploring antique stores, and trail running with her dog. She is deeply passionate about health and wellness and finds great fulfillment in helping others achieve their fitness goals and feel their best.
