ABOUT JENNA

“Pilates with Jenna has been such a bright spot in my weeks. Her class structure is great, she focuses on structured toning workouts and pushes you to do your best, but understands when you might be at your limit. She is thoughtful, encouraging and has truly guided me through my healing process from a prior injury, while helping me reconnect with my muscles in new ways, and made me realize how strong I was already. I'm excited for my continued work with her on my Pilates practice.”

As someone who has always relied on my youthful energy, getting older was getting harder to do. I often hurt just getting out of bed, which didn’t motivate me to invest in being healthy. Stress and weight gain also held me back and I was stuck in a rut of unmotivation. When Jenna offered me a chance to try Pilates I jumped at the chance. I had no idea what Pilates was going to do for my mental health, life choices and sense of well-being! Working out with Jenna and paying attention to my body, in a slow, concise and focused manner has spread to other aspects of my life as well. I have noticed my stress levels are down and my harmful self-talk has abated. I’m feeling powerful in my own body, the sense that I am once again taking control of my life. The weight is coming off, my energy is coming back and I’m so much more present in my body and life. Truly a transformation!

Pilates has inspired me to start a consistent exercise/wellness routine which I”ve never had before! I appreciate the functional aspect and real life application of Pilates. When I am doing a Pilates session I only focus on my mind/body connection. I am not distracted, I am absolutely focused on my body, engaging my core, isolating the right muscles and clearing my mind. I am so much more invested in my health and wellbeing and that’s all been inspired by my introduction to Pilates.

I’ve practiced Pilates in my home for years by following videos and other self-directed methods. At the beginning of 2021 I started working with Jenna one on one and it’s been a total game changer! My Pilates practice and technique improved significantly and I saw and felt changes in my body immediately. Unfortunately I began to experience some health issues shortly after that. The beauty of Pilates is that there are multiple ways to modify the exercises to meet your personal level of skill and comfort. Even more important, Jenna has been a fantastic ally in my journey, always ensuring that I am comfortable and pain-free while offering me encouragement to continue to push myself to do as much as I can. Despite my health issues, I continue to gain strength, control, and flexibility, which has been a boost for my mental health as well as physical. I can’t recommend Jenna enough!!

It's been a few months since I started Pilates with Jenna and I can feel and see the changes already. My body is responding well and getting back into shape after two years with no real workout. Jenna is patient and fun, and clearly knows what she's doing. I'd easily recommend her as a Pilates instructor for anyone starting now or looking for further development.
