Pilates is not a fatiguing system of dull, boring, abhorred exercises repeated daily 'ad-nauseam.' Neither does it demand your joining a gymnasium, nor the purchasing of expensive apparatus. You may derive all the benefits of Pilates in your own home. Jessica Newshel is a certified Pilates instructor offering private and semi-private Pilates sessions in Westport, CT.
Jessica has an in-home Pilates studio in Westport complete with classical Pilates apparatus, or clients have the option for Jessica to come to their own homes for personalized instruction. Jessica is a fantastic instructor! I had never attempted Pilates before and Jessica was very patient with me. I could see a real change in my abilities and strength from when I first started with Jessica.

The Pilates Method of exercise was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. Originally designed as a rehabilitative practice on an exercise mat and specialized equipment, Pilates exercises target the deep muscles of the abdomen and spine to strengthen the body from the inside out in proper alignment.
The sessions are 1 hour long and vary in level, as each session is tailored specifically to you and designed to meet your individual needs and fitness goals. A private or small group session can give you the one-on-one attention that is not possible in a mat class with multiple students. Pilates is a very precise discipline, and the specific cues and corrections received in a small setting can make a huge difference in your workout.

Seriously the best money/time I've ever spent. I've had major back pain issues after giving birth to my son. Jessica has done wonders to help me work through things. She's patient, she really listens, is super fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. I've never felt pushed beyond my limits or uncomfortable and I've learned a lot about my body by working with her. She's truly a gift to Pilates and the town of Westport!

I feel so fortunate to have found Jess. I had been doing pilates in the city for years and when I moved to CT I did a ton of research on where to go. Jess is an incredible pilates instructor. She always listens to what you need and adapts depending on how you're feeling that day. I also never get bored with the combos she puts together. Jess got me through my pregnancy, and I honestly can say she's the only reason I felt so strong post-pregnancy.

After two back to back spine surgeries for herniated discs in 2019 and a pandemic move to CT in 2020, I landed on Jess’s doorstop as a bit of a mess. Within 6 months she got me on the path to a shockingly strong, more balanced and more disciplined body, and managed to do it all with grace and humor. She is an incredible balance of ease and strength, and manages to get more out of me than I imagined was possible! I can not recommend her enough as a trainer!

Jessica is awesome! She is professional, super flexible (schedule wise as well as agility). She works with my individual needs and keeps every session interesting, current and pushes me to do better. She also has a very sweet personality to boot! I've done private as well as duet sessions with her. Whatever your needs are, she can customize the workout for you and I love that about her.

I’ve been seeing Jessica once a week for over a year. I started Pilates because of a back injury and it’s honestly the only thing that has worked to manage my pain. Jessica is knowledgeable and can tailor a session to my body’s needs that day. She has a great sense of humor, is patient with beginners and knows how to push you without injury. It’s the only workout I never miss!

Work outs with Jessica are a perfect combination of challenging, educational, and fun. She knows her stuff and really figures out your body quickly and can gauge where you are and what you need to improve strength and tone. I've seen results in just a few sessions. She's so easy-going and flexible as well, I highly recommend Pilates Girl!
