"I have taken Pilates in the studio and virtually with Jesolyn for over 6 years on a weekly, often daily basis.
She teaches the whole body and is very careful if you have an injury to give you modifications. She gives clear instructions and pushes you in each class to be both precise and get the most out of each exercise. The flow is steady and orderly and she varies the bands, ring, weights and foam roller so that the classes are interesting and maximize the result.
I never tire of Jesolyn’s classes and my body is so much stronger as a result and I am so much more relaxed from taking these classes with her.
She always makes you feel powerful and accomplished!"

Testimonials
“I have been practicing Pilates for many years. I started in person at a studio in NYC and quickly settled into classes 3 times a week with Jesolyn Lucas. After trying many others, Jesolyn was spot on.
I trust her completely about how bodies work and modifications given for me when my body needs it.
After COVID, we have been doing virtual classes and have gone back to the same hard work and instruction that we enjoyed in the studio.
I think Jesolyn has an amazing gift for teaching and communicating. I will continue to follow wherever she hangs her hat. No one better!”

“Jesolyn’s Pilates is Essential to my Health”

“So fortunate to have Jesolyn as my Pilates teacher for over 10 years. Her extensive Pilates knowledge and deep understanding of physiology provides adaptive exercises for each client. Jesolyn has provided critical Pilates practice for me to successfully recover from double hip replacement and to navigate my extensive joint arthritis with improved mobility and diminished pain. I am in the best shape thanks to my consistent Pilates classes with Jesolyn. Her compassion for each of us is integral to her classes.
My husband, a marathoner, came to Jesolyn a decade ago for her Pilates help with injuries and “aging body” challenges. Her knowledge has helped him immensely.”

“Jesolyn is a very gifted teacher. She is warm and concerned for each of her students’ wellbeing. She gives clear and well timed cues and individual guidance and modifications. Her knowledge of anatomy helps students in understanding not only how to move but why.
Take her class or private lesson. You will be glad you did!”

“Just over ten years ago, I took my first Pilates class with Jesolyn Lucas. I consider that day to be among the luckiest in my 60+ years of life—and
that’s not hyperbole! As someone who has struggled with chronic back pain since her 20’s (I have scoliosis), Jesolyn, quite simply, has helped keep me going. Her knowledge of Classical Pilates is second to none. Jesolyn’s instruction is both specific and creative, demanding yet encouraging. Through drawing on a vast physiological expertise combined with an uncanny intuitive sense, Jesolyn makes my Pilates workouts worthwhile and meaningful, even on days when I’m not feeling tiptop (which, let’s face it, happens upon occasion). I always end a session feeling a thousand times better than when I started. And on top of all this, her sessions are fun! While I miss studying with Jesolyn in-studio, she has successfully adapted her teaching to a virtual platform. Her online Pilates classes remain dynamic and productive. Perhaps this has to do with Jesolyn’s relentless drive to learn new ways to refine her instruction, all of which are aimed towards helping clients feel their very best. To say I am grateful to have met Jesolyn Lucas is a true understatement. She is, without question, a gem!”

““Jesolyn has been my pilates teacher for well over a decade.
Her knowledge of the art of Pilates and other fitness modalities is deep which make her teaching instincts second nature. I am from NYC and have access to dozens of pilates instructors; what sets Jesolyn apart from them are several reasons.She always brings her enthusiastic spirit to the session, her cues and pacing always keep the class flowing. I ALWAYS feel energized, strong and saner after our Pilates sessions. You're in good hands with Jesolyn.”
