Alexis Interdonato is the founder of Modern Fit Pilates, established in 2022 after returning to her roots on Long Island from Los Angeles, California—where she trained and became a certified Pilates instructor.
An athlete from a young age, Alexis spent her childhood as a competitive figure skater, drawn to speed, agility, and the discipline required to master complex movement. Skating became more than a sport—it was an outlet, a source of strength and control during challenging and uncertain times. That early relationship with movement shaped her lifelong connection to fitness, both physically and mentally.
Throughout adulthood, fitness remained a powerful tool for clarity, resilience, and self-confidence. At 29, after moving to Los Angeles, Alexis discovered Pilates for the first time through the reformer. The method was completely unfamiliar—yet instantly transformative. Unlike traditional workouts focused on isolated movements, Pilates offered a continuous, flowing practice rooted in control, precision, and deep core connection. The experience felt intuitive, almost dance-like, echoing the grace and athleticism of her skating background.
Pilates taught Alexis how movement truly begins from the center—how strength, awareness, and control originate within. This understanding ultimately led her to pursue certification with the intention of teaching and sharing the method in a way that felt both authentic and empowering.
