Our Origins
Built from Conviction.
YA FIT began with a single belief — that Pilates, taught with precision and intention, could change how people move through their lives. What started as a local passion became The YA FIT Method.
Shaped by the discipline of a triathlete, every class is designed to be anatomically sound, sustainably challenging, and consistent every time.
Yafit Saban-Amar
Founder & Lead InstructorYafit is passionate about movement and fitness, and will always love learning new things so she can incorporate those new skills in her classes. Her classes are challenging, but she is able to modify and accommodate clients of all levels to ensure safety. Yafit is certified in pregnancy, and Pilates high-intensity interval training.
When Yafit is not in the studio, she is most likely training outside, cycling or running. The thing Yafit LOVES to do more than anything in this world is to spend time with her husband and their five children.
Elizabeth Walls
Senior Instructor & Clinical SpecialistBorn in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Beth was raised on skis and horseback and loves all things outdoors. When a backpacking adventure ruptured discs in Beth's spine, she began the quest for a lasting solution. The professional writer/editor discovered the transformative power of Pilates and felt a calling to share it with others — a modality she believes is body, mind, and life altering.
With nearly 20 years of experience, including 5+ years at a physical therapy clinic, Beth is equipped to adapt to injuries, pregnancy, and all fitness levels. Her greatest devotion belongs to her husband and three amazing children.
Megan Rowsey
Senior InstructorMegan discovered her love of Pilates over 15 years ago and enjoys teaching in both classical and contemporary styles. She believes Pilates can be a lifelong practice that keeps your spine and your spirit youthful.
When Megan isn't in the studio, you will likely find her enthusiastically cheering on her two boys in all their sports endeavors. Megan also has a love of real estate and is a local Realtor®. Her dream home would have a full Pilates studio in the guest house.
