Meet Deb Lemon

Founder & Director of Education · Master Teacher

A lifelong student of the Classical Method preserving the craft of Joseph Pilates in Port St. Lucie, FL.

The Founder

Deb's Journey

Pilates didn't find a workout. It found a calling.

Deb's path to Pilates started in the fitness industry. Her first certification was teaching aerobics on campus at Millersville University. Her passion for movement grew into certifications in step, boxing, spinning, rebounding, barre, and yoga — which eventually led her into personal training and weight work with one-on-one clients.

Deb wasn't looking for Pilates. Pilates found her. She was hired by QVC as a Fitness Model to demonstrate Pilates on live TV on a reformer for "at-home." Her first Pilates teacher was Mari Windsor — famously known for Windsor Pilates. After just a few weeks of practicing, Deb walked into the gym where she was working part-time and told the owner, "Let's open a Pilates studio." Her conviction that Pilates was undeniably transformative was powerful enough for him to say "yes." That studio was the first of 7 Deb has owned and operated across 3 states.

Her formal education in the Classical Method gave her the foundation to make Pilates her full-time career. Deb believed — heart and soul — that this is what everyone needed to be doing. She remains a lifelong student of the work. Alongside advanced certifications in anatomy and movement science, she practices Pilates almost daily and continues to attend classes and conferences to go deeper. Her loyal clients call her "Debbie Details."

In 2020, Deb opened Lucie Lemon Pilates in Port St. Lucie with a singular vision: an authentic Classical studio where every client experiences the difference that attentive, knowledgeable instruction makes. Today the studio offers small-group reformer classes, private sessions, and specialty programs, alongside a Comprehensive Classical Pilates teacher training program rooted in the Joseph Pilates Method.

When she's not teaching or refining her craft, Deb is working on her other business, iCRYO Wellness Center, which she owns with her husband — and otherwise adding to her shoe collection, watching make-up tutorials, cooking new recipes, and loving on her two doodles.

Our beliefs

What We Stand For

The principles that shape every session at our Port St. Lucie studio.

i. — The Standard

Quality over Quantity

We keep our classes intentionally small. This allows for a level of attention that cannot exist in a crowded room.

ii.

The Authentic Method

Our work is rooted in the original teachings of Joseph Pilates. We do not dilute the Method or follow "trends." The integrity of the work is preserved in every session.

iii.

Guided Progress

Progress is built over time through consistency, control, and precision. Each session is guided by how you move and how you respond to each exercise.

iv.

Highly Educated Teachers

Our Teachers are trained to do more than lead a class. They observe, assess, guide, and teach with clarity and purpose. Every cue and every correction is intentional.

v.

No One Goes Unseen

No one "blends into the crowd" here. Every client is known, supported, and guided. Every journey matters equally.

Experience the difference

From your first session, the level of instruction is clear. The attention to detail, the pace, and the way you are guided set this experience apart from any other. It is something you feel immediately.

Our beliefs in practice

Our Approach

i.

Built to Last

Our goal is to help you be more "built to last." We value precision over repetition. Fewer, more intentional movements create better results than endless, unfocused work. When you learn proper movement patterns, you carry that knowledge forever — in and out of the studio.

ii.

Client-Focused Sessions

Small groups and private sessions mean real attention. Expect to learn through guided practice, hands-on adjustments, and building blocks that meet you where you are and progress you accordingly. Nothing rushed. Nothing unsafe. Everything with you in mind.

iii.

Community & Connection

Our small-by-design classes foster genuine connection. You will move alongside people committed to the work — and be supported by Teachers who know your body, your goals, and your journey.

What clients say about Deb

In their own words.

"
The moment I walked into Deb's studio, my life was changed forever. When my wrists felt weak washing the dishes and I couldn't touch my toes without bending my knees, I thought I'd give Pilates a go. After my first class with Deb, I was hooked for life. Deb truly focuses on each student and plans exercises based on their experience level, rather than discouraging students by asking them to do an exercise only an advanced student could achieve. Her attention to detail sets her apart — she corrects your form to ensure you're doing the exercises properly and to prevent injury. She is tough, but highly effective. My wrists are now strong, I can touch the ground, and my body has transformed. So grateful to have met Deb.
