Michael Johnson

I have been a Pilates enthusiast since 1983 - hooked from an early age and have never stopped learning.
Owner of Matfit “how to be fit on/off the Mat” based in New York City. @matfit_nyc on Instagram
I have been teaching Pilates since 1995, with a mobility focused approach. Each class, private, seminar and workshop is rooted in history of Classical Pilates with a modern functional solutions, that cross pollinates to all disciplines.

Matfit-Lab ( assess mobilize heal) is workshop launched in 2023 for exercise and pilates enthusiasts to learn about motor control aka Joseph Pilates “ Contrology “

Denmark - studio41pilates - September 3-5th

All levels welcome!

Matfit Lab

Matfit lab is designed to empower and enhance the Pilates practice at any level. However it can be applied to all other exercise modalities.

I have found the following assessment tools beneficial to my clients and professional athletes alike.

My workshops and private sessions focus on Assess, Mobilize and Heal the principles of Contrology - laid out by Jospeh Pilates early 1920’s- he called his system Contrology- emphasizing control whether on his Mat or on one of his many pieces of equipment.

Assess each client/participant- thru mobility tools left behind by Joseph Pilates: his, eye chart and his direct instructions. Simple, easy to follow eye exercises are incorporated into the pilates gym to optimize the nervous system.
.
Mobilize- measure each joint functional range, and facia restrictions, plus a look at Joseph Pilates 10 point fitness test and learn to apply these measures to the pilates equipment.

Heal - evaluate before and after!

Experience the Matfit difference!
