Meet Jillian
The Method
Jillian uses the deceptively intelligent and incredibly efficient form of exercise known as Pilates, combined with TRX Suspension Training, Weight Lifting, BOSU Balance Training, Body Weight Training, & more. This low impact and safe exercise is great for all bodies, no matter one's fitness level, goal, injury, or medical condition.
The Machine
Jillian uses the amazing Pilates Reformer to relieve tight muscles, stress, muscular imbalances, bad posture, and sore and painful joints. This Pilates apparatus, or machine, helps you to restore your body, mind, and movement.
The reformer can also be used to sculpt, tone, strengthen, and challenge your body like never before. It allows you to move in a greater range of motion than mat exercises, and train injured muscles without the weight-bearing effects of gravity. Each Pilates Reformer exercise works multiple muscle groups at one time, and allows you to do fewer reps and gain greater results.
The Studio
Jillian's private studio located in
El Campo, TX includes a fully equipped private studio with a variety of Pilates and exercise equipment to provide your body with a new challenge each time you visit. She only offers one-one-one private training sessions to ensure that you receive the attention, exercise modifications, and challenges you need to help you maximize your results at your specific fitness level.
"It's the mind itself which shapes the body" - J. Pilates
