Jean Marie Fitness & Pilates was founded by Jean in 1996.  Jean has dedicated her life to her passion for helping others improve their physical fitness and health. She has been working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 1994.   After exercising for many years, Jean developed low back pain caused by an SI Joint injury.  She was led to Pilates to build a stronger core and to keep her back strong and pain free.  Feeling the benefits of Pilates, she embarked in Pilates Teacher training in 2001 and began teaching Pilates and sharing the benefits of Pilates with people of all health histories and injuries.  Jean is a comprehensively trained Pilates practitioner with Polestar Pilates, the largest and most well respected rehab based Pilates Instructor education in the world. Today, Jean's teaching philosophy is blending current, evidence-based, corrective exercise training, traditional Pilates exercise, mindful movement and Essentrics.  She combines strength training to her client's Pilates sessions as needed in order to help them increase their bone density and halt bone loss.  Jean believes Pilates can be the most challenging exercise for athletes and weekend warriors, and it's also one of the safest forms of exercise for everyone with all kinds of pre-existing injuries and past health histories.
