Elizabeth Maniago is the owner of Barrevolution Kent Island, a small boutique studio in Maryland. She began her fitness journey many years ago as a runner, but began searching for a lower-impact form of exercise after undergoing spinal surgery. Elizabeth credits Pilates and Barre with strengthening her core, helping her regain flexibility and range of motion, and stoking a love of fitness that would eventually lead to studio ownership.

In addition to her Barre certifications, Elizabeth is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Power Pilates Mat Instructor. She graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with a degree in English Literature, and still loves curling up with a good book when she’s not at the studio. Elizabeth currently lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with her husband, two children, and two golden retrievers.
