I have been having trouble with my hips for over five years. So finally I went to a doctor they did x-rays and they said it was my hips and they said they could give me shots in my hips I did that it didn’t work. Then they took x-rays of my back and they said it was my back that was causing my hip problems so they said they could give me a shot in my back. I bowl and two of my bowling partners are physical therapists I told them about my problem they said Pilates. So I’ve been doing your class for a little over a month now and today was the first day I was able to walk around the block with absolutely no pain in my hips. I just want to thank you for taking care of my problem!

A great therapist is clear in communication and not only gives demonstrations but always explains why and how. That’s exactly what Jessica does which makes me confident I am not going to hurt myself in the process. Also it needs to be said, the style of these outfits is effortlessly beautiful. All over inspiration, thanks Jessica!:)

I've been following your beginner workouts for 7 weeks now and I'm completely astounded by how much stronger I feel in my everyday movements. I would brace myself for a dull ache or twinge when reaching down to get something out of the kitchen cupboards but I realised yesterday that while I was bracing myself for the expected pain, it no longer comes! I love how you conduct your videos, they're extremely instructive and motivational. Thank you so much ❤

I love Jessica's Pilates videos. I did Pilates in my 30s and just now in my 60s I'm getting back into it. I'm doing Walking videos and her Pilates videos and I'm down 24 pounds in four months. And I just feel so much better I can stretch. I can do a set up when I first started. I couldn't even roll up off the ground.

I began rotating this video and two intermediate videos to do Pilates three out of four days. I've just added a third intermediate from your floor series and will now use a random number generator to come up with Pilates floor exercises to do three out of four days. My church began doing Pilates instructions for 45 minutes on Tuesday nights. This is a pretty robust and challenging set of exercises. Because I've been faithful to your program I do very well in these additional Tuesday night sessions. I'm 59 years old and ride a bicycle about 3,000 miles a year and find that this Pilates is great for my core and keeping me able to Pedal. Keep up the good work.

Thanks you so much for this beginner's workout. I have been doing Pilates for a couple years now. During COVID, I completely stopped because all fitness centres here (in Australia) are still closed. After 8 months, my back finally failed (it had been sore and bothering me). I ended up with two bulging discs - I NEVER want to feel that pain again. So, I decided to get back into Pilates but was afraid to do the exercises that I remember from our classes as I was too worried about pushing too hard at this stage. So, I searched youtube for a beginner's Pilates session and found you! Exactly what I was looking for!
