For Jonathan Lim and his wife, Nancy, the journey to opening Pvolve Cypress began long before they ever stepped inside a studio. Like many parents juggling careers, responsibilities, and three energetic children, they found themselves waking up with more aches and pains than they were used to, likely caused by poor posture from carrying their two youngest. Shoulder pain, knee issues, and lingering injuries from years past started to interrupt their days rather than just their workouts. “We finally realized the way we were moving through life just wasn’t sustainable,” Jonathan recalls. “So we started physical therapy to address the chronic issues that had crept in without us really noticing. As we got stronger, Nancy began looking for a way to maintain that progress.”
Convenience and safety were top priorities: a method that wouldn’t lead to more injuries, fit their schedule, and genuinely supported total-body health. That search led Nancy to Pvolve’s virtual platform, which includes a library of classes, as well as a virtual studio option with live instruction, where she began taking classes at home using the compact, easy-to-store equipment.
Over the next six months, she noticed improvements in mobility, balance, strength, posture, and energy—without the post-workout exhaustion or soreness that had accompanied other fitness programs. “She loved that she could get a tough workout but still have the energy to run around with the kids afterward,” Jonathan adds. Eventually, he joined in to compliment his weight lifting and found improved his posture, mobility, and even his heavy lifting days. It was at this point the couple began exploring the idea of bringing Pvolve to Cypress.
In March 2024, Jonathan and Nancy traveled to Chicago to meet the Pvolve corporate team and experience the method live for the first time. What they found went far beyond what they expected. “The studio had this incredible upscale vibe—clean, welcoming, and full of energy,” Jonathan says. “But more than the environment, we were struck by the staff. Everyone was warm, informed, and genuinely passionate.”
The visit also clarified what made Pvolve stand apart. Nancy was immediately drawn to the company’s commitment to women’s health. Every program is designed with women’s biomechanics in mind and includes specialized support for major life stages such as pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause.
For Jonathan, the appeal was the science. “The method is backed by medical experts in kinesiology, physical therapy, and women’s health,” he explains. “The programming is rooted in functional movement patterns that mimic everyday actions. It’s not just exercise—it’s training your body to move better in real life.”
Their first in-studio class sealed the deal. Jonathan admits he sweated more than anyone else during the 50-minute session. “It kicked my butt,” he laughs. “But it also showed me that as we get older, our approach to fitness has to evolve. This wasn’t about punishment—it was about longevity.”
At Pvolve Cypress, members experience a science-backed, low-impact functional fitness method designed to improve the way they move daily. Classes emphasize mobility, deep muscle activation, alignment, and balanced strength. With specialty equipment and expert coaching, every workout helps members feel more connected to their bodies—stronger, more stable, and more energized.
Unlike high-impact or repetitive fitness programs, Pvolve trains the body using natural biomechanics and multi-directional movement. The method is accessible for every fitness level and every life stage. Trainers offer personalized support, making each class feel approachable, challenging, and empowering.
"Pvolve isn’t just a workout—it’s a way to reconnect with your body and build confidence from the inside out.," Studio Manager, Olivia Prejean shares. "Whether you’re brand-new to fitness, rebuilding strength, or looking for a smarter way to train, you’ll be welcomed, supported, and empowered at the studio. Our community is full of people who simply want to feel good in their bodies, and we’d love for you to experience how transformative that can be.”
Pvolve is set apart by the community: members chatting before class, encouraging one another afterward, and creating an atmosphere that felt supportive rather than competitive. “We’re both in our early 40s, with lives that look a lot like the families around us,” Jonathan says. “Our goals aren’t the same as they were in our 20s. Pvolve gives us a sustainable way to stay strong, mobile, and active—both now and for years to come.”
Longtime fan and member of Pvolve, Jennifer Aniston partnered with Pvolve starring in their global campaign called “Strength That Sets You Free.” This year she and Pvolve launched a “Strength Redefined” challenge, which is based on her personal Pvolve routine. Much more than a celebrity endorser — Jennifer Aniston is invested in and actively guides Pvolve’s growth, programming, and image.
