About Jean
Jean began her career as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, working at local health clubs in the Palm Harbor area in 1994. In 1996, she took a leap of faith and opened her first personal training studio. Early in Jean's career she enjoyed lifting weights and teaching high impact exercise including kickboxing and boot camps. These led to muscle imbalances and low back pain. She was led to Pilates to fix these and it worked! She embarked in professional Pilates training in 2001 and has been been teaching Pilates ever since.
In addition to teaching Pilates and Personal Training, Jean is an Essentrics Instructor and believes that Essentrics is the perfect complement to Pilates and other activities, and that Essentrics can help everyone reverse premature aging and feel great.
After teaching exercise programs to people of all ages for over 25 years, today Jean's favorite clients to work with are busy professionals ages 50+, seniors and retirees in their 60's, 70's and 80s+. Jean teaches her clients she works with the importance of being committed to a regular exercise program and eating healthy now, so when it's time to retire later they can enjoy doing all the things they love to do for a lifetime.
