Arc Pilates and Movement

Jenna introduced me to Pilates. I enjoyed the Stott system, and I fell in love with Jenna. I saw her at least once a week (consistently!) over the years, and she gave me my body back. I had fallen and broken my leg years ago, and while it successfully healed, I did not have the same range of motion. And sadly, I did not trust my body anymore. Jenna helped me work through the imbalances that I had cultivated to compensate for the old injury. Jenna helped me challenge my body again without fear. Now - years later - I cannot imagine going a week without Jenna! This investment in my health has paid dividends more valuable than anything monetary. I find myself doing "Pilates" while I am plowing through housework, playing with my dogs, riding a bicycle - just doing life. And life is better with Jenna guiding you in a Pilates class, and then at the end of the day, you realize you are keeping a neutral spine and twisting from your mid-line while doing dishes.

Jenna is a natural born teacher, and can explain how to engage your muscles in the correct way better than any instructor Ive worked with before. Her classes have helped me through tough times with limited mobility due to a vestibular issue, and she has kept me mobile and healthy with her excellent modifications. Id recommend her studio to absolutely anybody, from beginner to expert!

Jenna has given me my life back. In the past coping with spinal stenosis among other things has hindered the simplest of movements for me from walking to bending to standing, resulting in considerable pain. Post five months with Jenna, I can now dribble a basketball, dance all night, hike forever, enjoy garden activities again, and play on the floor with my grand daughter. My life has improved significantly, and I have Jenna to thank for her Pilates expertise and generous spirit. I look forward to seeing more improved physical results under Jennas tutelage in the years to come. Thank you Jenna. Dorey

Jenna Nelson of Arc Pilates exemplifies patience, integrity , knowledge and ability to specify a workout for a client. I have been working with her for 3 years, and she has worked with me to achieve balanced strength, core stability, rehabilitation for chronic discomforts, and general body awareness that all helps beyond the workout session. I have found work outs to be genuinely enjoyable while challenging - this is how she achieves specificity with me - I am at my edge and able to hang with it, benefiting noticeably and continue to feel motivated for each work out. Ive NEVER before tolerated and appreciated a core (better than ab) workout so much. Furthermore, her cheerful, optimistic personality comes through as a unique and welcoming way to relate to her clients. I look forward to my workouts with Jenna and often recommend her to friends.
