Pilates Defined

I have been going to Pilates Defined for many years and I have enjoyed and benefited from the many class formats, mat class, reformer group and duets . I am now taking private class with Jessica to help address my back issues. I have found that Jessica’s attention to, and observation of my movement really leads  to an individualized and targeted approach to my program each time we meet with positive change in my comfort and mobility.

I am about to complete 5 years with Jessica at Pilates Defined, having enrolled with a serious back situation.  With the encouragement of my doctors, b,efore and following back surgery 4 1/2 years ago, I have learned, through weekly PIlates, to strengthen my core, improve my balance, and learn enough to motivate me to continue my exercises at home on a daily basis.  All of my exercises have been based on my individual needs on any given day.  For me this is a way of life that continues to improve my physical and my mental health every day.

The personable and knowledgeable teachers mix up Pilates’s set reformer exercises and keep the pace moving, adding twists to spice up each session. With repeat students, they offer personal modifications. Each class has a unifying theme - for instance, an emphasis on breathing and a concentration on the 3 dimensionality of the rib cage.
