I had my first Pilates lesson with Jenise this week. I would say I am pretty active in general and I try to workout 3-4 times a week doing various workouts such as dance, yoga, Zumba and other reformer workout. Even though I work out regularly, I was not able to lose any weigh for the last 2 months. I told Jenise my trouble areas are my stomach and I wanted to tone my back. She catered the workout specifically to my request and I was definitely feeling the workout immediately that night. I was sore all over the next day and especially my abs, and my back!! I know if I keep this up, I will definitely

I started working with Jenise in my second trimester of pregnancy. At the time, I was having a really rough time being pregnant; I felt awful from morning sickness, I had no energy and my whole entire body hurt constantly. Working with Jenise helped to relieve the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. I was really impressed with how Jenise tailored each of our sessions to what my body needed. I had developed diastsis recti pretty early on and she clued into that and shifted
our work to focus on inner core strengthening that was safe for my condition. Her upbeat energy and positivity helped me

What a skilled, attentive instructor! I'd been away from Pilates apparatus for 2 years when I met Jenise and chose her based on strong recommendation. I've done many private and group classes in various cities and found Jenise's private class perfect. She noted my weaknesses & strengths within minutes and served up a fabulously balanced sequence that challenged and flowed appropriately. The day after, that glorious post-Pilates sensation I missed so much was right back. Her approach is entirely customized to the client's body. She is also personally engaging and thoughtful

I can't say enough great things about Jenise. From the moment you walk into her class, she emits energy and positivity that immediately makes you happy you are there with her. I attended her prenatal pilates classes religiously ahead of the birth of my first child and have never felt stronger. Now pregnant with my second, and unable to see her for a long time due to COVID, I see a noticeable difference in my body strength and disposition. I was finally able to go to a class last night and left feeling revived, strong, and elated to be back. Whether you are working with Jenise for prenatal

I don't have enough wonderful things to say about Jenise. I've taken both regular and prenatal reformer pilates classes with her, and she is knowledgeable, welcoming, and very positive. I always feel refreshed and challenged after her classes.
