Lisa Hunsaker is a business owner, teacher trainer, mentor, movement lover and Mom. She started and evolved her business, Turning Point Fitness LLC, which she opened in 2008, alongside being a Mom of two boys. She feels fortunate that her lifetime love for movement, dance and fitness turned into a full-time career.  

She trained in classical ballet, modern and jazz starting at age four and through college, where she attended The Ohio State University. Her love for travel and all things Disney led to a degree in Hospitality Management. She worked for the Walt Disney Company and other known brands, such as Sheraton and Marriott. While she pursued her professional endeavors, she continued to follow her love for movement through a side venture in fitness.  

When she discovered Classical Pilates, she knew she was ready to merge her business experience and love of teaching into a full-time career. Lisa started her Classical Pilates training with Power Pilates, completed her comprehensive training in 2009,  and became certified through NCPT in 2012. She was a teacher trainer for Power Pilates until 2020 and has presented various workshops and trained aspiring Pilates teachers in the U.S. and internationally.  

In 2024 she launched ‘Magic of the Mat’ a comprehensive Pilates mat training program. Lisa enjoys mentoring Pilates instructors and business owners. One of the things she loves most is when a person experiences the change that Pilates and movement can bring to one’s life. When people achieve their goals, not only do they look and feel better, but they also experience a renewed confidence in themselves. 

When Lisa isn’t in the Pilates studio she can be found spending time with her family, two teenage boys and kittens; Colette and Eva. She enjoys traveling and her favorite destinations are Walt Disney World and Italy.
