Jan Leahy

Instructor

Henry Street Fitness

Joseph Pilates' chosen successor, Romana Kryzanowska, trained Jan Leahy, the owner of Henry Street Fitness. Jan was certified after 700 hours training. Since then she has taught students and trained teachers all over the world. In Paris, she helped train the country’s first batch of Kryzanowska-certified teachers, and in South Carolina she implemented her own teacher-training program. After moving back to the States, she managed one of the most successful Pilates studios in Manhattan. And then she opened Henry Street Fitness. Cut to 13 years successful years later and Jan remains a neighborhood fixture and a fitness rarity: a boutique fitness owner expanding during an influx of fitness chains and a master instructor who can make you laugh while she’s kicking your butt. What is she like as a teacher? I am all about the flow, the laugh and the next level. My vibe is part rock star and part been there done that, let’s move on.
