Founder and Owner
Introducing Melissa Quezada
I began dancing recreationally at seven years old and professionally at 14. After dancing domestically and internationally for 12 years, I pursued Pilates to keep practicing my love for Precision, Poise, and Purpose in a different form. I founded Perfectly Fit Pilates in 1995 out of a passion for sharing the fantastic transformative benefits of Pilates with my community. I started teaching in my dining room while building my first studio in San Marino. My clientele's rapid growth and loyalty in San Marino inspired me to open a studio closer to home in La Cañada Flintridge. The La Cañada location opened in 1997. After five years of operating both studios while raising three children, I focused on the La Cañada Flintridge location. We've operated there for 27 years, serving hundreds of families in the community since our inception. My Pilates journey began over 30 years ago with Mari Windsor, and later, I trained privately with Jay Grimes, a direct student of Joseph Pilates. Inspired by these experiences, I created a studio that blends classical and contemporary Pilates, ensuring each session is tailored to the unique needs of our clients. We aim to help you move with precision, poise, and purpose, regardless of age or ability level.

Why People Love Perfectly Fit Pilates
I have been coming here for almost 10 years. The instructors are great - all classically trained in Pilates, so you get a great foundation, but they're also really good at accommodating all fitness levels and needs. I knew nothing about Pilates when I started here, and I can't ever imagine this not being part of my life, and it's all thanks to the great instructors and Perfectly Fit!
I have enjoyed this studio and pilates for over a decade. I originally was encouraged by my doctor to check out pilates for a back injury. It worked.
The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and individualize the routines to my needs. Early on we cured my back, strengthened my knees for skiing, and overall improved my knowledge of how I should be working my body. I am stronger and healthier.
Recently, Lindsay and I have been working out online because of COVID. Its working well. In fact I am learning to listen better so I believe I am improving.
I plan to continue working with Perfectly Fit for many more years. I look forward to every session.
Pilates is a fitness routine that helps you stay flexible. I have been training at Perfectly Fit for 15 years. Melissa is the most professional trainer in La Canada. She's never late and never cancels at the last minute. She's dedicated to her clients and adapts the workout to the clients' fitness level. Perfectly Fit offers only private lessions but having a trainer one-on-one helps me to maintain my form when doing the exercises.
