FitSprings is all the fitness, strength and calorie burning benefits of the classes you love without the risks – no injuries, no being so sore after one workout that you can’t workout for a week after and no being so bored you want to quit. Developed by Pilates teacher and studio owner Jill Harris. She was inspired to create FitSprings after many of her clients reported loving their HIIT and boot camp classes while also lamenting how much these workouts made their knees, hips, back, and shoulders hurt.
Jill’s clients were spending money outside of her studio on these classes and were taking time off to recover from their injuries. Jill realized that the average income loss was around $500-$1000 every month when clients canceled due to pain or injury so she created FitSprings to make these exercises more accessible so her clients could get the results they wanted without pain and her bank account wouldn’t suffer either.
In 2017 right after relaunching the new system Jill was brutally attacked. She sustained injuries that included a skull fracture, herniated disc in the cervical spine, shoulder fracture, rotator cuff tear and damage to her labrum. She was unable to lie down on a reformer or do many upper body exercises without pain. 5 days later she taught a FitSprings teacher training and was able to demonstrate and modify exercises to keep her body moving. She never lost strength or stopped working out because she had the FitSprings and was able to continue to move and adjust her workouts in a safe and pain free way.
Since then FitSprings has been used in gyms, Pilates studios, and physical therapy setting for numerous applications including:
Helping dancers improve their technique and recovery from injury
Cross training for professional football players, pro tennis players and MMA fighters.
Helping older adults improve their balance and coordination in a safe and controlled environment
Creating dynamic higher intensity cardio workouts that minimize impact on the joints
FitSprings has also been used by members of the San Francisco Ballet, the Arizona Ballet, former pro tennis players, former Olympic Skiiers, Pro Football players and MMA Fighters.
FitSprings Studio System
Is your equipment making as much money as it could for the space it takes up? We’ve heard you think the Studio System looks really large so we compared it to the Pilates Cadillac for you to see. This versatile piece of equipment can be used for 2 people in the set up or more than 6 participants around it. It’s also safety rated to hold up to 4,000lbs so go ahead and add some aerial or other suspension methods to it without worrying.
FitSprings Home System
FitSprings fits everywhere including your home.We teamed up with Vertical Art Dance to create a smaller, more portable and affordable option to be used in homes, outdoors or anywhere else you exercise. The Verti Fit Frame™ (VFF) was specially designed off the studio version of FitSprings and was engineered for both aerial arts and multi-functional fitness elements at home.
Take classes on the VFF when you buy a FitSprings video subscription (coming soon). New classes are constantly being added.
FitSprings Custom Design
We can create systems to accommodate 4,8 or more participants. Let’s create a dream studio for you where your equipment and space is being maximized. Design fees may apply.
WHY FITSPRINGS?
Jill’s Pilates clients were exploring workouts outside of her studio to experience higher intensity for weight loss and were returning to her injured or so sore they only wanted to stretch. She created the FitSprings to assist with bootcamp style workouts with less strain on the body. Clients were feeling their bodies being pushed to the limits without pushing their actual limit and they were adding in more sessions.
She also discovered after being brutally attacked how useful they were to provide supportive training while recovering from injury. By using them she never stopped working out and recovered even stronger than she was before.
With FitSprings clients don’t take a break in coming to you because they adapt their workout and keep moving. This adds to their well being and to the health of your bank account.

"The FitSprings system is genius in both design and execution. Its size is perfect for even a small studio and you can train two people at a time on the FitSprings. The applications for use are endless. We are so excited to be one of the five studios to feature the system and I predict many more fitness/dance/Pilates studios will soon have this remarkable system installed to the delight of their clients!"

"I wasn’t sure about the Fitsprings when I first saw them but Coach Kahley told me they would make a difference for me and my MMA career, so I did what coach said. Fitsprings definitely showed me a new way of training and gave me a new excitement to train. The Fitsprings are definitely my new secret weapon. I had no clue the strength, balance, speed, endurance, and core that I got from only a half hour workout on them. Best of all is the minimal impact on my bones and joints which allows me to push myself to another level. Fitsprings are good for anyone whether it be for a beginner starting to workout or professional athlete. Fitsprings have improved my MMA fight game in a huge way and I can’t wait to see how much more improvement they will be bring me in the future."
