Jesse Barnett, Founder
My Background
I’m a Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and freelance dancer living in Queens, NY. My classical dance training brought me to NYC to pursue my BFA in Dance at Marymount Manhattan College. I was originally introduced to the Pilates method as a way of improving my dance technique, and after college, I received my Pilates certification through The Kane School. I have also become a CSCS through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Over the years, Pilates and strength training have become integral parts of almost every aspect of my life. Helping clients achieve their movement goals is my greatest joy!

“Change happens through movement, and movement heals.” - Joseph Pilates
Strengthening the body is important for everyone, not just athletes. Movement is part of daily life, therefore movement quality is an important part of quality of life.
“ I am a senior citizen and have had many trainers over the last few years. Jesse has been exceptional as he knew just what I needed. He is patient, understands my strengths and weaknesses, and keeps me focused. I have always looked forward to my time with him. Great guy.”
