I love this studio and the instructors here are fantastic. I’m 100% new to Pilates and honestly fitness in general. I was quite worried and intimidated until I met with Jen for my beginner classes and she was so welcoming and accommodating. I’ve enjoyed every class I’ve taken here and am so grateful to have this amazing place in town!

Working with Jen gave me my active life back. After dealing with knee and back issues for nearly two years, and attending traditional physical therapy for over a year, I was struggling to get back to walking for exercise and playing pickleball. I felt stuck and that I needed to find something different. I was hesitant but reached out and spoke to Jen who encouraged me to meet with her and give it a try to see if she could help. So thankful I did! Jen is also a Physical Therapist and truly knows her stuff. She provided weekly exercises that were tailored specifically to my needs and resulted in my improvement each week while also giving me the tools and knowledge that empowered me to be able to do the work on my own. Thank you Jen!

When I first came to Adaptable Pilates, I was unable to walk comfortably or for reasonable distances due to a muscle strain from bicycling. Jen really knows her stuff; she not only showed me a series of exercises to address my issue (and provided videos that I could follow at home), but also took the time to explain the different roles of muscles and helped me understand how to listen to my body better. I am so grateful to Jen for the knowledge and care she gave me - highly recommend!

I did about six months of physical therapy with Jen, and am so thankful that I found her! I had seen other PTs in the past few years, but no one was able to pinpoint the issues that had developed as a result of multiple pregnancies like Jen did. As a private practitioner, she had the freedom to treat me like an individual, and not just give me a pre-made plan, which I think made all the difference. I was so amazed that after just a few weeks, we had really addressed a lot of my pain, and after the full six months, had gotten to the root causes. I now have multiple exercises/movements that I can choose from on a daily basis that keep me functioning pain free - which after years of walking with pain, is incredible to me! One of the best parts of PT with Jen is that she sends you a detailed summary of what you worked on after each session and what exercises you'll continue to do for the week, along with a very helpful app that includes all of your exercises as well, with notes, pictures, and videos. I'd never received this kind of service in my previous experiences with PT. It was SO helpful, as it's hard to remember all of the things you do in a session. I've sent my husband and my mom to her as well - she's the best! I wouldn't want them to see anyone else!

I'm the first person to be honest so that we can all find what we're looking for. I never leave reviews, so trust what I have to say.Keep reading for more details. but here is a long story short. Jen is an actual PT that practices and went to school for many years to earn her doctorate. She knows how to help you move your body to reach your goals and how to make the most of your time during class.The classes are a complete steal for the cost, considering everything you'll be getting. Every time I've gone, I've felt like I had individual coaching during the classes. I've always felt supported and cared for. Jen has tailored exercises to help me and everyone find ways that work best for our bodies.Pilates was something I was scared to start because I don't have any experience and I was pretty much having a sedentary lifestyle when I first came. But Jen made me always feel welcomed and that I belonged. I always felt that I was safe enough to be honest with where I was, and not push myself to match everyone else. I felt accepted and that gave me the power to accept my own limits and grow. I was given so much support, especially with trying new things or when I was struggling.Jen also remembers you and checks on you during class. She remembered what parts of my body where tight and made adjustments for me to be comfortable during exercises. And she remembers everyone else's. She anticipates our needs before we even know what we're doing in class.The classes offer more than just the physical. The environment provides a space for connecting with yourself. For me, I felt more aligned with my spiritual and emotional side. The classes also help you experience the connection between your mind and your body. This was something I never fully understood until I came here. It makes such a difference in life when you feel like you're connected to the aspects of who you are.So yeah, take the leap of faith and invest in yourself. It's completely worth it and you'll be supported at every point. It will change your life for the better and you'll get to expand as a person, explore yourself, and heal.

I thought my dancing days were over due to pain in my hip and shoulder, but thanks to Jen and Pilates, I’m dancing again and feeling super strong.

I’ve taken Reformer classes from a number of teachers and Jen is one of the best. Being a PT adds to her expertise and I’ve learned a lot from her and enjoy her classes too!
