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 teacher.
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 sessions 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.
Leah, Instructor
Pilates found me a few years ago while recovering from hip and shoulder surgeries
resulting from the wear-and-tear of a gymnastics and soccer-heavy childhood coupled
with my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a connective tissue disease). I desperately needed
something to add to my yoga-centered lifestyle that would help me heal, regain my
strength and retain my flexibility in a gentle yet effective way. My first reformer class felt
like I had come home. My body loved every move and stretch and I couldn’t wait until I
could hop back on a machine. I knew instantly that Pilates was the missing puzzle piece,
not only to my personal fitness & healing journey, but to my fitness career.
As an instructor, I hope to ignite the love of movement, creativity and play in my classes.
As a survivor of a car accident 20 years ago that left me temporarily paralyzed &
wheelchair bound, followed by years of frustrating and difficult rehabilitation…I know
that movement truly is a gift. Every day I find joy in movement, whether that’s pilates,
yoga or simply walking my dogs. I get excited about movement like a kid on a new
playground. And just like a playground has swings, slides, and climbing structures to
explore, what I love about Reformer classes are the endless variations of pushing,
pulling, balancing, and stretching. Each class is a blend of strengthening, flexibility,
control and playfulness—and don’t forget, walking out those doors afterwards feeling
like a million bucks!
I’m excited to continue creating spaces where movement feels empowering and joyful. I
hope to see you in the studio!
