Testimonials
My Pilates teacher training experience with Janelle was truly such a rewarding experience. What I loved most about her training was that she didn’t just teach us the exercises, she taught us the history and meaning behind Pilates. Janelle took us all the way back to the creation of Pilates and the work of Joseph Pilates, helping us understand his original principles, philosophy, and approach to movement. From there, she showed us how Pilates has evolved over the years into what we see today. Understanding that history gave me a much deeper appreciation for the method and helped me understand why we teach and move the way we do. Janelle created an environment where I felt comfortable learning, asking questions, making mistakes, and growing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Pilates, and that passion made the training feel exciting and meaningful. She taught us not only how to perform the movements, but how to understand the body, properly cue exercises, modify movements, and create a safe and effective experience for our clients. I left my training feeling much more confident in my knowledge and abilities, but also excited to continue learning and growing as a Pilates instructor. I’m so grateful to Janelle for sharing her knowledge, experience, and love for Pilates with me. She made the entire experience educational, encouraging, and genuinely enjoyable, and I would absolutely recommend training with her to anyone looking to become a Pilates instructor.

What makes Janelle so special is the community she creates. She brings people together and somehow manages to make each person feel empowered as an individual while creating a group that genuinely supports and lifts each other up. She doesn’t just teach Pilates, she creates strong, confident instructors who carry that same sense of community with them.

Janelle is such an inspiration! Her creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm are next level. I was initially unsure if this was the direction I wanted to pursue, but as soon as we started, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be. Janelle made sure that each and every one of us felt confident and prepared to teach a Mat Pilates class of our own—and she even helped us with job placement! If you have the desire to learn from one of the best, I truly can’t recommend her 50-hour Mat Pilates Teacher Training enough!

After stepping foot into my first pilates class at flux yoga and immediately becoming drawn to the beauty of pilates, I decided to join Janelle’s Pilates Teacher Training. It has not only taught me the history and foundations of Pilates, but it has genuinely helped me grow as an individual both on the inside and out. This training has challenged me, pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and prepared me to step into teaching feeling confident, strong, and more prepared than ever. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned, the girls I’ve met that I now cannot live without, and the community that came from this experience. Whether you are looking to become a pilates instructor or to just grow more confident and empowered as an individual, Janelle’s teacher training could be the perfect opportunity for you to pursue!
