retention in the industry. With a combined 30+ years
of experience in sports medicine and fitness, Steven
and Larysa provide experience unparalleled. Safe, effective

Larysa
DiDio
Larysa DiDio parlayed a successful personal training
business in New York City into an entrepreneur’s
dream – her own cutting-edge gym, serving much
of the same clientele - where they live in the Westchester
suburbs, as opposed to where they work, in Manhattan.
Her own personal fitness domain has included a local
daily TV program, quotes and appearances in national
women’s magazines such as In Style, For Your Health
and First For Women, several appearances on “Good
Day New York”, starring in two workout videos produced
by Redbook and making it to the finals of the 1999 ESPN
Miss Fitness contest. Currently, Larysa’s focus
is on getting area girls strong and fit.

What is Pilates? An innovative system of mind-body exercise
evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates.
Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks,
feels and performs. It builds strength without excess
bulk, creating a sleek, toned body with slender thighs
and a flat abdomen. It teaches body awareness, good posture
and easy, graceful movement. Pilates improves flexibility,
agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate
back pain.
No matter what your age or condition, Pilates will work
for you! At PFX we book half hour and full hour apparatus
instruction. Call for an appointment!
