Jean Deferrari, BS, CPT, NCPT has a strong background in fitness and Pilates. She founded Jean Marie Fitness & Pilates in 1996 and has been practicing Pilates since the late 90's and teaching Pilates since 2001. She opened her first personal training studio in 1996 in Palm Harbor and trained her personal training clients using traditional strength training equipment and she worked as a group fitness instructor at many local gyms. In 1998, Jean was led to try Pilates due to an SI Joint iinjury ans low back pain. After trying her first workout on the Pilates Reformer, she knew the Pilates method would benefit her personal training clients and relieve back pain. She embarked in her first professional Pilates teacher training in 1999 with Stott Pilates. Today, Jean has converted her personal training clients into happy Pilates clients using the full line of Balanced Body Pilates equipment (and she continues to use a variety of functional fitness training equipment too). She has worked with people of all ages, abilities and walks of life. She enjoys teaching Pilates to strong athletes who want to improve performance and prevent common sports injuries, and she enjoys teaching Pilates to active older adults interested in Pilates for wellness and those interested in building stronger bones, and reversing the signs of aging and osteoporosis.
