EMILY FREIDMAN-NOVAK

Emily was introduced to Pilates in Toronto in 2001 and quickly developed a long-term commitment to the practice. After nearly two decades as a dedicated client, she made the decision to pursue certification and transition into teaching, completing her training through PHI Pilates in 2020.

Emily is comprehensively trained across all Pilates apparatus, she works with clients of all levels, meeting each individual exactly where they are while thoughtfully challenging them to build strength, improve alignment, and move with greater confidence. Her teaching style blends technical precision with encouraging energy, creating sessions that are both effective and intelligently programmed.

Outside of the studio, Emily enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and continuing to deepen her own fitness journey.
