"Jennifer is a masterful teacher and a lovely human being whose teaching seems to flow from a profound well of joy and boundless knowledge. Even after three years of twice-weekly classes, she will occasionally say, “I don’t think we’ve ever done this before,” and introduce yet another variation from her infinite store of exercises and sequencing. Her ability to observe and (gently) correct misalignment through little zoom boxes feels nothing short of miraculous. My husband and I were both new to Pilates when we started with Jennifer and were instantly hooked by the sense of strength and wellbeing we gained. Thank you Jennifer!"

"Jen's Pilates classes are a holistic, calming, breath of fresh air. Her commitment to clear instruction, breath work, and mindful movement is unique and considered. She has an incredible vocabulary of moment, combining classical Pilates with new techniques, which ground both the mind and body while providing a focused and deep workout. Her grounding sensibility and encouraging words have made Pilates a lifeline of mine for years. Jen is, hands down, the best instructor out there. "

"My husband and I have been working twice a week with Jennifer Sydor for over 5 years.  Jennifer’s knowledge of the body and her expertise in how best to strengthen and tone the body through Pilates is exceptional.  As an aging tennis player, Jennifer’s classes have kept me strong and well-balanced, allowing me to stay on the court when others my age have become injured and opted out.  We always look forward to working with Jennifer!  "

-Martha Berry and Curtis Cravens

"Jennifer’s Pilates instruction has been incredibly impactful to my dance training. Her thoughtful approach makes her classes feel intentional, and her vocabulary allows for a clear understanding of the goals for each exercise. It is clear she is not only passionate about Pilates, but the practice of teaching as well."

"I’ve had the pleasure of taking Pilates classes from Jennifer for many years and found from the very beginning, Jennifer's teaching ability to be unique. She has an enthusiastic interest in the Pilates methodology, and in training others to benefit from the practice, as she herself, has benefitted. She provides clear descriptions including just enough of the names of muscle groups being targeted to assist with the understanding, but not to get too bogged down with the science. She’s always there with encouragement or additional information to customize for particular needs, as she takes into consideration different abilities and body types. Jennifer’s classes are never repetitive as she is always discovering new exercises and relaying new stories."

-Benita Welch

"Jennifer introduced me to Pilates by giving me private lessons until I felt comfortable in the studio.  Having Pilates in my life has been so good for my health and overall well-being.  During COVID, the weekly on-line classes were a bright spot during the week.  Just hearing Jennifer's calm voice and experiencing her generous spirit was enough, but it also always was a great workout.  Jennifer's Pilates instruction has improved my posture, core strength, flexibility, and my overall health, and I credit it with keeping me running injury free at age 50 (those side series!).  I also appreciate that Jennifer makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome regardless of his or her fitness level or ability.  She offers suggestions for modifications without any judgment.  I also appreciate that Jennifer will admit when something is difficult for her too, which puts everyone at ease.  Finally, I really enjoy the way that Jennifer explains what is going on anatomically.  It is interesting to learn about anatomy in this way, but it also helps me understand the purpose of the exercise so that I can get the most out of it."
