I was originally certified comprehensively in Pilates through Body Arts & Science International. In 2012, I was chosen by Pilates elder Lolita San Miguel to participate in her Pilates Master Mentor Program. In 2014, I graduated from the program after 2 years of intensive study. I am now considered a disciple of Lolita's.
I am also a certified prenatal and postpartum specialist working with mothers during all stages of pregnancy and post-pregnancy. When Pilates teachers started coming to Studio Flo Pilates for instruction, I wanted to create a separate continuing education program for them. I created an extensive program that bridges certified Pilates instructors from contemporary to classical Pilates.

Last December, I decided to research the best form of exercise for my body at a significant low point in my life. I thought my abdominal muscles were shot and I would never have a healthy body again. I started on Class Pass and quickly realized I was using all my credits for Study Flo Pilates so needless to say, I signed up with them! Merry Christmas to me; IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
My first class was supposed to be Ballet, but out of confusion, I ended up taking Reformer 101. Kaitlyn was my first instructor; She was quick to show me that the machines are not the big scary monsters they look like

4 1/2 years ago, I went to Studio Flo and attended my first Pilates class. At the time, my son's girlfriend was a teacher at Flo, and I thought it would be a nice gesture if I took one of her classes. But when I entered the beautiful and airy Studio Flo and took one look at the Reformer and Tower apparatus, I wanted to run away. I was an unfit, uncoordinated 61-year-old with poor muscle tone and a negative attitude towards fitted exercise pants in bright colors.
But that was 2015.
2020 will be my 5th anniversary with Studio Flo. In a stroke of serendipity, I found the best Pilates

With small class sizes and extremely knowledgeable and educated teachers, Studio Flo is a phenomenal place. The studio is not only focused on a work out, but also works to teach all of the students about their bodies and the Pilates method. Having only 8 people in a class makes it easy for the teachers to engage each person, so you really feel like you are getting 1 on 1 attention. When I started, my lower back didn't move at all - it was pretty much frozen. Now, I can not only move that part of my back, but it has gained flexibility and strength.

No joke...this studio has CHANGED MY LIFE! I was a helicopter pilot in the Navy for 10 years. Just 9 months ago I was medically discharged in part for my lower back, which I reinjured frequently and caused me constant pain, especially when sitting (aka flying). I've tried everything since 2011 to get better but have slowly been getting worse. I take continuous pain medications (NSAIDS and muscle relaxers) and I do pain management treatments every 6 months to burn the nerve endings in my spine which give me some relief. I've been practicing 2-3 times per week at StudioFlo for a total

After moving from San Diego (and therefore Studio Flo) I can confidentally say that Studio Flo is unmatched in its instructors, equipment, and most importantly- sense of community. Studio Flo focuses on the whole person, and balances fun with a rich knowledge of classical Pilates, discipline and support for all there students. Mr. Joesph Pilates would be proud. I miss you, Studio Flo!

I have been to quite a few pilates studios and none compare to Studio Flo. Jenni and her team are so knowledgable and hands on that even a beginner class is a new learning opportunity.
I love that the reformer and tower classes only have 8 spots so you really get 1 on 1 attention and you always are being adjusted and corrected on form and posture -- something you do not often get at larger studios.
Not only is there plenty of parking, but it is right off the freeway and easy to access even in the evening during rush hour from Del Mar.
I particularly love the foam rolling classes on Friday

Out of shape and stiff after transitioning from an active college life to a desk job, I signed up for a 101 class hoping for some help. I had always assumed Pilates was for yogis and dancers (I am far from either), so I was surprised at how much I LOVED the class! The instructors are great with new clients and will help you with your apparatus or form without making you feel like you're being singled out, and are great at giving you easy to follow cues. The new studio is gorgeous and relaxing, and you'll walk out of class feeling a little taller, a little leaner and more relaxed.

Studio Flo.....YES! I have been doing Pilates at SF for about 3 years. I have learned so much about my body and how to move. My posture has improved significantly. I was suffering from sciatica and low back pain but in the last 3-6 months have consistently been doing Pilates 2-3x/wk and have not had any pain. The class size is small which makes it easy for the instructors to have eyes on all individuals. Coming from a physical therapist, Jennie does a fantastic job educating all of her instructors and allows people who may be fearful to move less fearful due to their knowledge. I recommend Pilates

This studio has such a special feeling of community. It feels like everyone knows each other. There wasn't anyone sitting at the front desk waiting for check-in. The teachers knew exactly who and how many people were in their classes and began promptly. They were super friendly and welcoming.
There are two rooms right next to each other- separated by a glass wall. I took a free community class and right next door, there was a ballet class going on. They told me that they have a free community class every Monday and Wednesday led by teachers in the teaching program. I took a class from Coco

I love this place!! Jennie and her team are amazing! My husband and I tried out Studio Flo's introductory offer and both of us have signed on monthly. We have tried different types of exercise programs, such as CrossFit and circuit training and kept getting too many injuries, because of the rapid pace and incorrect body positioning. Pilates is perfect for us, and for anyone for that matter. All positions are done with precision and supervision. I know that my body is going to be the best it's ever been, and I'm so excited about that. Thank you Studio Flo for helping me focus on being

Through an unexpected airplane conversation, I received a referral and introduction to Studio Flo. And I'm so glad I did. Jennie and the entire staff at Studio Flo have impressed me from day one. I'm not new to sports, the gym, or any workout that includes a ton of cardio, loud music and sweating, but I was fresh off the farm as it related to Pilates. Therefore, I knew I'd have to really enjoy the studio and the instructors for this to work.
The reformer and tower classes max out at 8 clients. Nobody wins from doing exercises incorrectly, which is why the small group classes are

I look forward to coming to Studio Flo several times a week. After work, this pilates studio becomes my sanctuary.
Jennie and her team of instructors are attentive and motivating. Jennie only learned my name once and never forgot it. The instructors do a great job of holding classes that are intimate, and their classes accommodate beginners and advanced clients so everyone gets a great workout. Furthermore, the vibe is relaxed and fun.
I wish I could bottle this place up and keep it all to myself, but at the same time I want to tell everyone I know how much I enjoy it there-- and I know you

Having moved to San Diego, I made it a priority to find the best pilates studio. I wanted to find a pilates studio that could compare to the one back home--from the level of instructors to a sense of community. I was skeptical when I booked my private with Jennie after trying another studio that had high reviews, but Studio Flo exceeded all my expectations! Jennie and her team are beyond exceptional. They are well educated and push/challenge you in the best way possible. They are good whole hearted people who only want and offer you the best. They will do anything to help you reach your goals and

I moved to San Diego a few years ago. I instantly fell in love with San Diego, but desperately missed my pilates instructor from my previous city. I tried so many studios in San Diego but none of them even came close to comparing. The studios I tried were not focused on form; they were more concerned about the amount of weight or number of reps. I had enough knowledge to realize that this was against the fundamentals of Pilates.
Finally, after a flurry of frustrated Google searches, I found Studio Flo. Right away, I was impressed with the extensive education and impressive backgrounds of the

Wow!! Just Wow! Of all the studios I've been to I have never experienced such precision in getting to me to reach my muscles ultimate potential!! Jenny is an anatomy master! With just the slightest suggestion she funds the right description to get me to engage all the target muscles we are working. Whether it's a Pliates Mat class or the tower, I can always count on an amazing workout!

When I first moved to San Diego I was surprised by the number of people who opted to attend classes at boutique studios over traditional gyms. After my first month of attending classes at Studio Flo, I can say that I 100% understand why people favor more specialized studios like this one.
As they always say, you get what you pay for, and this studio is no exception to that rule. Sure, I could buy a generic gym membership at Costco on the cheap, but at Studio Flo I am paying for quality. The instructors, Jennie and Emily, are beyond good at what they do. Each class feels like a personal training
