Jennifer Owens

Jennifer is a certified Pilates instructor that incorporates reformer, chair, and mat exercises in her individualized lessons.  Her initial studies were with Pilates Coach Leslee Bender (the inventor of the small pilates stability Bender Ball).

True to the Pilates tradition, she furthered her studies as an apprentice for a retired ballerina and Master Stott Trainer.  As part of her continuing education, she has completed various courses and training from June Kahn, Balanced Body, Leslee Bender, and Stott Pilates.  Jennifer has successfully built up and managed two Pilates programs for an established fitness center in Silicon Valley. 

Andrea (Dre) Aguiar - Group Reformer Instructor

Pilates Journey

I have practiced pilates on and off for over 15 years! I started with mat pilates as a student in 2008 and eventually found a home at Encore in 2023. I practice multiple times a week and cross-train with weight training and cardio.


Favorite Pilates Exercise

I love anything on the spine corrector. And, a hip bridge (pelvic curl) is so underrated and OG!


Fitness Philosophy

I am a fitness enthusiast and enjoy all kinds of movement.  It is such a joy to teach pilates and to challenge both the mind and body. It's my mission to help everyday movers feel better connected to their bodies and movement practice. I pride myself in providing a safe, fun, and inclusive experience. 

Abby Jay - Group Reformer Instructor

Pilates Journey

My journey into fitness began as a way to find balance and strength in my own life. Growing up I always played sports so we were taught to lift heavy and sweat. I discovered Pilates when I moved to Arizona to try something different, and never looked back! It transformed not only my body but also my mindset. I believe in the power of movement to connect the mind and body.


Favorite Pilates Exercise

My favorite Pilates exercise is anything on the chair. I love how it builds strength and stability, but gives me that instant shake!


Fitness Philosophy

My fitness philosophy is simple: every body is unique, and fitness should be a positive journey created for individual needs. I'm here to empower you to embrace your strength and find joy in movement!

Spine

Feel Better

Feel Better

 Pilates exercises avoid painful moves but continue to work the body so that the rest of the spine and joints don't become frozen 

  

Individuals with significant back problems may benefit from several one-on-one Pilates sessions with a qualified Pilates instructor.  

Feel Better

Feel Better

Feel Better

 In 10 sessions, you feel better, in 20 sessions you look better, 30 sessions you have a completely new body  


Pilates encourages proper posture and alignment to attain healthy movements. Just doing Pilates isn’t enough. You need to be doing Pilates correctly in order to reap its rewards.  

Diastasis

Feel Better

Diastasis

Pilates is an ideal exercise program for women experiencing Diastasis Recti because it offers precise training methods that focus on strengthening the transverse abdominal muscles. 


Its controlled and low-impact movements make it a suitable option for postpartum women looking to safely rebuild their core strength.
