Gather Pilates

I am taking the beg/intermediate reformer class from Jean and I LOVE IT! It is honestly the best class I have ever taken. It was suggested that I take Pilates to improve my bone health. I am feeling stronger and I definitely have more energy after every class. It’s like caffeine for me but even better. I was shopping at Natural Grocers the other day and when I was heading up to checkout the checker said to me…

”It’s nice to see the bounce in your step today”. 😊 I immediately told him,
“I just finished Pilates.”
He said,
“You aren’t the first person who has said that! I think I will take Pilates!”

That made my day because while I started Pilates to stop my osteoporosis, I am seeing so many more benefits: IT’S FUN! I have more energy, I’m stronger everywhere, I’m experiencing better balance and endurance, and the best part is having the chance to spend time with other women in our community who are supporting each other toward better health.

I can’t thank you enough, Jean!! 🤗 I’m going to be around for awhile! 😆

I am 62 years old and a total newbie to Pilates- I enrolled in Jeans' 5 week Beginner Pilates Reformer Class and it has changed my life! Jean is an amazing teacher and even though there were 3-4 of us at a time in each class, I felt that I received one on one attention every class. I am going to book private sessions for a while and look forward to joining larger classes as my confidence continues to improve. Best New Years gift I have ever given myself, thank you so much Jean for making me feel welcome, and boosting my confidence. My time with you so far has brought me great joy!! - Tina

I've been attending Pilates classes with Jean, and the experience has been exceptional. Her extensive knowledge ensures that I always maintain correct posture, providing a sense of security and reducing the risk of injury. Jean's warm and kind approach not only makes the sessions enjoyable but also instills the confidence to try new exercises. I appreciate the supportive and encouraging atmosphere she creates, making each class a positive and enriching experience. I highly recommend Jean for anyone looking to improve their fitness with Pilates. I'm thrilled to be on this journey towards a healthier and stronger version of myself, especially with Jean as my instructor, who helps make every session a step closer to my fitness goals. Grateful for the support and encouragement as I embrace positive changes. Here's to the new me, thanks to Gather Pilates!

When I first decided to give Pilates a try, I had no idea how much I would learn through doing these sessions! Jean has an immense knowledge of the body...in more areas than just Pilates.

With each class I keep taking home information that is changing my life...(Outside of getting a great workout). Through the work we have been doing with breath and posture alone, I feel much more conscious of what my body is doing and how I am moving my body with more mindfulness. I love this new awareness, I feel great and look forward to my Monday classes each week.

I am really grateful for having the opportunity to have a place like this to "Gather", learn and grow together. : )
Also to have found Jean, she is a gift, an amazing teacher, guide and friend. Whom puts a lot of love into what she does and has helped me immensely on my journey to better health.

Jean is truly passionate about pilates and giving her clients nothing but the best possible studio experience!! I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to incorporate pilates movement into their fitness routine.

I had never done pilates, really didn't know much about it, but my 5 week beginner course was wonderful. I will be continuing at Gather Pilates. Our class was small, which gave Jean the ability to give one on one personal instruction to each of us when needed. There is no need to be apprehensive if you have never tried pilates. Jean is very good at explaining movement and making you feel very comfortable in the classroom. Highly recommend Jean at Gather Pilates.

First I'd like to start by saying Jeanne is a wonderful, down to earth person. She was very helpful and insightful on helping me with my problem areas. Along with areas I didn't realize needed work.
I had a one on one class .

I’ve taken private Pilates sessions with Jean for three years. It has strengthened my core and balanced me out. I am a better skier, I have less shoulder and back pain, and it made me more mindful of my posture and careful about how I use my back. I would recommend Pilates and specifically Jean’s classes to anyone, but especially to people my age (50ish). I feel like Jean really cares about my health.

Gather is fantastic! The space is fresh and calming. The equipment is new and clean. Jean is truly a great teacher. I look forward to class every week!

I'm enjoying the reformer class. All my tiny muscles I forgot I had are coming alive thru Jean's excellent verbal.cues on this machine. Our class is light hearted and fun and I look forward to it every week!

Jean dives in and discovers what it is your body needs. Whether it’s your neck, your feet, your hips or all the above, she coaches and guides with intention and purpose. I never knew I could be sore by just breathing different ! Excited to get back in there!

Wonderful instructors! I really appreciate that classes are scheduled throughout the day to cater to different schedules. I'm a huge fan of the mat classes!

I took one of Jean’s wellness classes out of her home Pilates studio and was very impressed! Her studios is clean and equipment is well maintained. I loved Jean’s whole life approach. We didn’t only do Pilates, we also talked about healthy eating habits, healthy sleeping habits, and holistic approaches to wellness. Her studio is perfect for small groups. I highly recommend her!

Yoga teacher training with Jean Keese changed my life, (mind and body) and I am presently doing remote Ayurveda and virtual pilates.

Jean has a wonderful private studio. Over the last month, with Jean's calm, patient approach I have become stronger and more flexible. Jean has been mindful of my goals, and together we have made great progress. I highly recommend Jean's Pilate studio!

My experience with Jean has been amazing. She listened to my concerns and limitations regarding my body. She created a personal experince for me to understand and use pilates and Ayurveda in my daily life.
Jean does a wonderful job of explaining why doing what she recommends will help me. I feel that is key for myself to continue to utilize these new workouts and health habits.

If you want a positive change in your life, Pilates with Jean is for you. Build a healthy lifestyle and fit body with an amazing instructor. You’ll see results in flexibility, balance, and core strength in only a few sessions. Worth the small investment!

If you are searching for a professional who is incredibly knowledgeable, is fun to work with and will approach workouts with a focus on your total mind, body and spirit, Jean is absolutely the best!  I have had trainers for varied goals and all around fitness throughout my life, but since signing on with Jean, I wish that I had known her from the get go.  She targets the objectives you want to achieve and even those that you didn't know you had!  For those of you who have challenges related to post traumatic injury and want to get back on the road to fitness, Jean is your ideal fit.  On a final note, if you are concerned about the health risks associated with the pandemic, you don't have to miss any sessions.  She simply sends you a link and you can Zoom in!  It's seamless, and I still receive a great workout.

Jean is an excellent pilates instructor with an amazing knowledge base in Ayurveda. Her positive holistic approach treating the body as a whole is amazing!

A great environment and prrsonalized coaching for all skill levels!
