Meet the Instructors Leading Pilates Above Boston at View Boston

Meet the instructors bringing Pilates Above Boston to the rooftop and learn how a lifelong love of movement, community, and connection has shaped their journeys. Plus, get a preview of what to expect on August 15th!

On Saturday, August 15, Liv Nurmi and Courtney Barletta of Boston Body Waterfront are heading to the 51st floor as part of the Rooftop Wellness Series, presented by Fit Scene Boston and View Boston. We caught up with both of them ahead of August 15th to hear about their journeys, their teaching philosophy, and what to expect on the mat.

MEET LIV

For Liv Nurmi, Pilates has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember.

"I've been doing Pilates since I was nine years old," she shares. As the owner of Boston Body Waterfront and a Balanced Body Master Trainer and Educator, Liv has built her career around helping people discover what the practice can truly do for them. "What I love most is helping people realize that Pilates isn't just a workout — it's a way to feel stronger, move better, and build confidence in your body, mind, and spirit."

For Liv, the Boston fitness community is something truly special.

"I love how connected it is. There are so many amazing instructors, studios, and local businesses that genuinely support one another. It's really inspiring to be part of a community that's always encouraging people to move, try new things, and build meaningful connections along the way."

Her Class in Three Words

Strong. Intentional. Uplifting.

What to Expect in Class

"A fun, full-body workout with the most incredible view in the city! We'll focus on strength, mobility, balance, and control, and you'll leave feeling taller, stronger, and energized. Whether it's your first Pilates class or you've been practicing for years, our goal is for everyone to feel challenged, successful, and have a great time."

MEET COURTNEY

Courtney Barletta's path to Pilates was shaped by a lifelong love of movement and a passion for helping others.

From the gym to coaching cheerleading to taking Pilates classes at her local YMCA, fitness has always been central to who she is. After nearly five years as part of the Boston Body Pilates team, she has turned that passion into a career built around empowering her clients. "I love empowering clients to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident through movement," she says — whether that means building strength, improving mobility, or recovering from injury.

What she loves most about the Boston fitness community goes beyond the workouts.

"How expansive it is. There are classes, gyms, and fitness events happening all over the city, and it's inspiring to see so many people prioritizing their health while making fitness something they genuinely enjoy. I also love how gyms and studios have become a true 'third space' — a place outside of home and work where people can connect. Fitness isn't just about working out anymore; it's about building relationships, supporting one another, and creating meaningful connections while taking care of yourself."

Her Class in Three Words

Lengthen. Strengthen. Empower.

What to Expect in Class

"A great workout, and a great time. Whether you're looking for an extra challenge or simply want to enjoy moving your body, we'll meet you where you are."
