Jessica Fritz Peters
Owner and Director

Since she began her career instructing Pilates in 2001, Jessica has made her clients her priority and she will ensure you achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. She has been stretching and moving her own body ever since she can remember. By age 14, she was part of a professional modern dance company in her hometown of State College, PA. After completing a BFA in dance performance at The Ohio State University, Jessica lived in San Francisco, where she danced professionally with the Moving Arts Dance Collective as well as various other dance companies. Jessica also traveled from pre-schools to high schools, teaching gymnastics and creative movement classes. The rigorous demands of professional dancing helped Jessica to recognize the amazing benefits of Pilates.

With years of experience teaching modern dance, ballet, gymnastics, and yoga, the transition to becoming a full time Pilates trainer was seamless. In 2001, she completed her Pilates Certification through the Integrated Teacher Training Program with renowned Master Instructor, Madeline Black. After teaching Pilates for one year, Jessica realized that because of muscle tension, many her clients were struggling to access some of the smaller postural that Pilates utilizes. In an effort to further help her clients, Jessica was certified in a form of self massage called Yamuna Body Rolling™. She credits Body Rolling™ and Pilates with keeping her body flexible and strong enough to complete three full marathons.

Jessica continues to study and learn from the leading names in the industry in order to further develop her base of knowledge. She specializes in seeing the nuances and appreciating the subtleties of the work, and through detailed verbal and hands-on cues, ensures that her clients are getting the full benefits of Pilates. In 2014, she successfully completed a second certification to become a Certified Pilates Method Alliance Teacher (PMA-CPT).

“I am grateful for the opportunity to share the experience of Pilates with others. The best part of my job is knowing that my clients feel better in their bodies and walk out of the studio with a renewed sense of strength, confidence and overall well-being.”
