The Flexibility Coach, LLC

Evamarie Pilipuf (aka the "Calf Stretch Queen") is a fitness and flexibility expert with over 15 years’ experience in exercise, yoga and dance.  Although she herself is a champion fitness competitor, her flexibility work centers heavily around the practical:  correcting a stiff and weak low back, relieving neck tension at the office, keeping active adults strong and supple well past their 40's, 50's, and 60's, and yes, tirelessly seeking effective ways to loosen tight calf muscles.  Evamarie's specialty lies both in her vast repertoire of stretches and exercises, and her unique ability to lead people articulately through these movements in an exceptionally effective and enjoyable manner -- much more so than they could duplicate on their own. It's these powerful skills that enable Evamarie to design programs that help everyone from those who describe themselves as "too inflexible to stretch," to high-agility athletes who wish to improve themselves even further, and everyone in between.

Evamarie's objective is for you to experience her motto, "Stretching feels GOOD!" for yourself; to give you the freedom and joy that comes with an ageless, strong, flexible body, and to give the kind of friendly, easy-to-follow, results-based instruction that will inspire people of all levels, all ages, to take their fitness, sports and everyday mobility to new heights.

Evamarie is excited that the online presence of The Flexibility Coach has allowed her to share her expertise with members all over the world, but long before The Flexibility Coach had a "dot com" at the end of it, Evamarie had become a wildly popular and sought-after "in person" instructor and personal trainer in the Chicago area.  Her yoga classes -- by now she has taught thousands of them -- routinely fill up and generate a waiting list, with many of her students and clients still with her over 10 years after their very first session.  That's because Evamarie's programs work:  She strikes that all-important balance between crafting an effective lesson plan and delivering it in a way that brings out the best in her program participants.  This experience has enabled Evamarie to develop a deep understanding of people's unique needs and how to address those needs in both her classroom and online instruction. 

A dedicated runner and skier herself, Evamarie believes that you’re only as fit as you are flexible, but is quick to point out that there’s no reason why you should ever have to give up the activities you enjoy.  In her words, “The body is amazing:  add the missing pieces to your training routine and exciting changes happen.  I never lose my awe in watching that phenomenon!”
