Community Spotlight: Meet Elah Barshi

At Prescription, our community is the heartbeat of everything we do. Each story is unique, but they all remind us why we move together. This week, we’re shining a light on Elah Barshi, whose journey with us is as inspiring as it is heartfelt.

What brought you to Prescription, and how has your Pilates journey evolved since your first class?

“My friend took me to Prescription for the first time and it was love at first (reformer) sight. At a time when I was feeling very weak, Prescription helped me regain my strength in more ways than one. Pilates became such an integral part of my routine, that I understood why this studio is called ‘Prescription’ — it’s truly the way to feel strong in both body and mind.”

For Elah, the reformer quickly became more than a workout — it became part of her lifestyle, a tool for empowerment, and a space where both body and mind could reset and grow.

What’s the biggest change you’ve noticed—physically, mentally, or both—since starting Dynamic Reformer Pilates?

“Core strength.”

Simple, powerful, and transformative — the foundation of it all.

If you could describe your Prescription experience in three words, what would they be and why?

“Anchor, community, fun. Prescription is a pillar of my Lisbon life, becoming a place of connection, growth, and a lot of fun!”

For Elah, Prescription is more than a studio — it’s a place that grounds, challenges, and inspires her, while bringing joy to her everyday routine.
