“Working with Jeannette has been a wonderful experience for me. Her patience, knowledge and interpersonal skills make her a truly outstanding Pilates teacher. When I started working with Jeannette I knew I needed direction to achieve a healthier and happier me. I just didn't know how to go about making that journey happen. Working in a weekly setting with Jeannette I improved my overall health, but I also gained the confidence and knowledge that allowed me to take ownership over my health needs. Jeannette is a dynamic and wonderful Pilates teacher, but she is about so much more than Pilates. Her personal involvement in my success has meant the world to me.”

"I have had weekly private Pilates sessions from Jeannette on a seasonal basis for the past 4 years. She is wonderful to work with and I always enjoy my sessions with her. She is a professional with a high level of commitment to her clients and their goals. She never fails to greet me with a smile, is relaxed and easy to talk with, has great communication skills, and possesses a remarkable knowledge of the body and Pilates techniques. Her sessions have made a remarkable difference in my conditioning. She challenges me but works with me to be sure that I am not being pressed beyond my comfort zone or physical abilities. In short, she is among the best Pilates instructors I have ever had, and I highly recommend her to anyone, from the beginner to advanced levels.”

“I met Jeannette several years ago when she was teaching at a place where I was going for physical therapy for a knee replacement. My back was still bothering me and Jim tucker, my therapist suggested I try Pilates. Jeannette was right there so I made a commitment to go to her mat classes two times a week. We were a group of 4 or 5 and we had such a good time. Jen made it so much fun. She was very engaging and made us want to go. I cannot say exactly when, but my back stopped hurting.”

"I’ve had several Pilates instructors over the past few years, and Jeannette is the standard against whom I measure all others. Her teaching is informed by a vast body of Pilates knowledge and experience, so a workout with her is thorough, safe, effective, and always something new. Her dancer’s attention to detail means she can help you make sure your entire body is doing exactly what it should be doing. On top of her formidable skills, Jeannette is a blast to work with, and her ready laugh and positive, encouraging attitude keep you looking forward to a workout.”

“Jeannette helped me get my arms and shoulders toned and buff for my wedding last year. Wedding arms! I've continued working with her on the apparatus and in mat classes and am really, happy with the results. She's a super sweet lady and a thoroughly engaged instructor. She makes my body happy and working out fun!”

“Jeannette is upbeat and always has a smile for you. With abundant energy her light-hearted approach is a delight. Jeannette will see your potential and support you in your efforts to reach your personal best. With firm direction and gentle encouragement, the workouts are challenging and fun. And best yet she holds the highest standards of professionalism, promptly returning calls, flexible with scheduling and always punctual.”

“Jeannette’s classes have a dedicated following, and for good reason - she is really committed to each of her clients and obviously passionate about teaching Pilates in a way that is meaningful and creates lasting change. I am so much stronger after taking her classes and in better shape now (I’m in my fifties) than I ever was before. I can’t imagine ever giving up working with Jeannette at Agile Monkey - it’s been life-changing!”

“Jeannette is as much a physical therapist as a Pilates teacher. She tailors each exercise to the needs of a body that has been well used for sports for 60+ years and has some worn-out parts. She is incredibly accommodating and innovative in addressing muscles that need work while making the experience varied and challenging each week. It was a joy to work with her and since I have never found anyone else as competent, I have given up Pilates for daily swimming until she returns to Aptos.”
