I have been working with Lisa for 1 1/2 years. We started during the pandemic and we have managed to have sessions regularly in person and virtually. I was taught by excellent practitioners but Lisa has raised my pilates practice to a much more refined and advanced level. Lisa has high standards and she works with me to improve my practice. We have managed through various injuries and her patience and creativity have been critical to my recovery and self awareness. I always feel better when I leave than when I start.
I recommend Lisa without hesitation.

I have been working with Lisa in her beautiful studio for many years. When the pandemic hit and Lisa offered me virtual sessions I was sure they would not work for me. Boy-oh-wow was I wrong! I have now been doing virtual sessions for almost two years and I am stronger than ever! This summer I started horseback riding again after many years away and Lisa framed my workouts around the strengths I needed to build to be a better rider. And, she showed me how to use my Pilates training while I was riding. I am stronger and fitter than I have ever been—and a better rider than I ever imagined I could

I've had the pleasure of working with Lisa for many years now. She is very focused on my individual strengths and weaknesses, and has been incredibly patient while I learn correct pilates form. Friends and business colleagues have remarked that my posture has improved dramatically and as a result, I now reflect a greater sense of confidence and authority. My work with Lisa has literally improved my career! You cannot imagine how gratifying this feels. Lisa's studio philosophy is serious yet very kind. If you are willing to do the time, listen and learn, you will definitely see the results, and

As a dancer, I went to Lisa for help with Patellar Tracking issues and she gave me so much insight and very precise and comprehensive instruction on how to reeducate my way of moving on my legs. She really cares about the way you are moving and I was able to get through the entire 6 week Martha Graham intensive with all my knee pain disappearing by the time I was finished! Plus I did the entire class the last day with little jumps! I was very impressed by her careful feedback with alignment and transition! She has fine observation skills and highly recommend her work to anyone who is a lover of

I've been going to Lisa for nearly four years - initially to get in shape for my wedding...then through my pregnancy (she's incredibly knowledgable and has a lot of experience working with pregnant clients),...and now she's training me post partum. If you want someone classically trained in pilates who will really help you work through your troubled spots she's the best! Her attention to detail and focus benefits her students of all levels. I love that she helps me understand how to work my muscles correctly and never rushes me through the exercises so I know I'm really getting a lot out of each

. I have been going to Lisa Jones Pilates for several years now. Lisa is an attentive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable pilates coach. I have worked out in many capacities, and with many trainers, over the last decade and have seen the most dramatic change in my body since working with her. I am about to have a baby and continued to see Lisa throughout my entire pregnancy. She took my safety and capabilities very seriously and I always knew I was getting an effective workout, while also feeling secure. I really owe my easy pregnancy with no back pain (or waddling!) to her and the pilates

Lisa is a very experienced and knowledgeable Pilates instructor. Her background in dance makes her well-equipped in healing injuries and strengthening body weaknesses and imbalances. Her studio space is immaculately tidy and professional. Together with her attentive and open-minded approach to teaching, she gives her clients a comfortable and trusting environment to not only fix and improve their injuries and imbalances but also push themselves and their bodies to become stronger and more functional.

As a long-time client, I so appreciate how Lisa’s expert, customized Pilates instruction focuses on my needs, body and life. She offers the substance of Pilates, not merely the form. Lisa goes out of her way to ensure a holistic experience. Her one-to-one attentive instruction integrates deep knowledge of the discipline with great communication to identify who you are and what you want from the sessions. Plus: what a great workspace studio! Quiet, inviting, with everything you need and nothing you don’t.
