Meet Our Staff

Jenny Boehmer, Owner & Instructor

I took my first private Pilates session in 1998 at Erskine Fitness in Seattle. Immediately I knew Pilates was exactly what my body had been missing and desperately needed. Pilates addressed the imbalances I had developed through years of playing soccer. Since Pilates has become a regular activity in my life, I have been able to continue a very active lifestyle with minimal injuries and quick recoveries.

Having a fascination with the human body coupled with a newfound love of Pilates, I jumped at the opportunity to become a certified Pilates instructor.

Since becoming certified in 2000, I have worked with men, women, and children of all ages and fitness levels. My goal is to teach Pilates in a way that is fun, effective, and safe.

I offer private Pilates instruction and Reformer classes at a studio in downtown Everett, Washington. If you have any questions about Pilates, or would like to discuss sessions and scheduling, please email or call. I’d love to talk with you.

Stephanie English

I had my first Pilates private session a few years ago at the urging of a friend. I had found myself prone to injury, had difficulty doing simple tasks and, at 50 years old, was moving and feeling like I was 30 years older. 

Pilates has been life changing for me. It has made me stronger, more flexible and as a competitive fencer, more balanced in both body and mind. As Pilates has helped me, I want to help others achieve the same mobility, strength and balance that we tend to lose as we age.

I am trained in Reformer and Pilates Apparatus, plus Mat Pilates through Balanced Body.  I believe if you are enjoying your workout, you will keep at it, so I strive to balance the fitness goals of every client with fun and variety during each session.

Before my Pilates career, I owned Victorian Belle, a custom wedding gown business for 17 years before retiring to focus on me after my bout of Breast cancer in 2011. I keep active with fencing, volunteering, traveling, painting, gardening, hiking and just enjoying the life, family and friends that I have been blessed with.
