Movement with Jill — Local services in Boston

Probably one of the most heartfelt and genuine trainings I’ve attended in a long time. It was a lot of information to take in, and at first, I felt lost—confused and overwhelmed after the first day. I was used to trainings that lectured us and told us exactly what to say, how to say it, and when. But Jill met us where we were.

She broke down the information clearly and gave us the chance to start teaching movements from day one. She provided structure and support while also giving us the freedom and agency to truly develop our own voice as instructors. Her knowledge of Pilates is beyond anything I’ve experienced—she’s incredibly approachable, friendly, and down to earth.

Being around Jill makes you want to succeed. She creates a caring, encouraging, and inclusive environment while skillfully guiding you through your own process. Her cueing is impeccable and offers such valuable context for instructors at any level.

It’s remarkable how close you become with your fellow cohort members in just four days—a true testament to Jill’s ability to foster connection and community. I cannot recommend her trainings enough. Even if you’re not sure you want to teach, what you’ll learn and how much you’ll grow as a person is...

I am currently doing my mat and reformer certification with Jill. She is also mentoring me on the side to help me kick start my Pilates career. I am incredibly lucky to have met Jill while she was teaching at Studio78. She is truly the best—relatable, welcoming, and full of warmth. From the very beginning, she created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning. She has a special way of breaking things down that makes even the most complex concepts easy to understand.

Her passion for Pilates (and mentoring!) really shines through. She’s always willing to help—whether it’s prepping for an audition, giving feedback on a class plan, or answering any random questions. She knows her stuff and I’ve learned so much from her.

Jill is creating a truly welcoming Pilates community here in Boston. A space that could’ve easily felt intimidating now feels inspiring, supportive, and empowering. She’s honestly changing the game for anyone looking to take their Pilates to the next level.

I’m so grateful to be learning from someone so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping...

I absolutely love my class with Jill. I'm 62 and was experiencing pain in my joints when waking in the morning and after sitting for extended periods of time. It was making me feel old. My daughter suggested I give Pilates a try. All I could think was that there was no way I could do that, I was already in pain. Well, I tried, and it was the best decision I have made! After only a few weeks, my legs were stronger, and so was my body. My body was less achey upon waking. It's been a little over 2 months now, doing Pilaties with Jill 3 times a week, and I hop out of bed like I did when I was younger. Even my balance has significantly improved!

Jill is amazing! She pushes you but also allows you to break if you need to. She's very knowledgeable and makes the class enjoyable. The time truly flies. If you're thinking about joining Movement with Jill, don't hesitate! It will be the best...
