"If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, and if you want to get in shape, START DOING PILATES WITH JENNIFER at Naples Pilates, Fitness & Therapeutics. You will not regret it. You will leave your sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more capable. My confidence was low after tearing ankle tendons and undergoing surgery to repair them. Experiencing an injury, managing pain, and losing mobility can be so demoralizing. After being in pain and being too limited to fully bear weight and move well, I thought exercising while lying down might be a good place to start. I liked how Jennifer's website described her approach, so I decided to work with her to start to put myself back together. Jennifer met me where I was, both mentally and physically. She had the perfect balance of pushing me to do more, while understanding what I was capable of doing. She is truly committed to helping her clients. One session she said to me, "I was thinking of you last night and I want you to try this new exercise today" When I asked her, "you were thinking of me?", she replied, "I am always thinking about my clients". And she meant it. That new exercise was SO HARD for me at first, because it really targeted my weakened ankle muscles - I was so impressed - it zeroed in on a very specific technique, the exact thing I needed to do to get stronger. I grew to trust Jennifer, and I learned so much from her. I will always be grateful to her for her help during my transition from injury to recovery. I am looking forward to working with her again when I return to Naples next winter, and I hope anyone who reads this post also decides to work with her."

"I have worked with Jennifer for the last few months and I look forward to my time with her every week! My workouts are challenging and rewarding, as she is always pushing me to be better while keeping safety and form at the forefront. She definitely won't let you slack, which I appreciate! My posture has improved, flexibility is back, and tackling previous injuries. I am so happy I found her when I moved to Naples!"

"I had a very, very good experience - which I dearly hope to repeat when I return to Naples. Jennifer has an excellent eye, which enables her to explain how to achieve proper form and execution. Her studio is serene, holding all the requisite equipment without crowding - and bonus! She has a very fun piece of balance equipment with a saddle that should help every equestrian perfect their seat."

"As a new "snow bird" from Chicago, and having had some very tough shoulder surgery a few years ago, I needed to find a very good Pilates instructor in the Naples area. I was so afraid I wouldn't find someone as good as my hometown instructor, but am so pleased to have found Jennifer. She has exceeded all my tough expectations - she has all the right certifications, is a continuous learner of her craft, listens well, pays close attention, and has customized my sessions to help reach the goals I have set. On top of that, she has given me exercises and tips that have actually improved my golf game!"

"As a person who has always despised any type of exercise, I can honestly say I enjoy my pilates sessions with Jennifer Gerali! I have knee and hip issues and Jennifer is strengthening the muscles around my knees and hips. She is also keeping me moving in general; stretching and using muscles that I didn't even know I had! Since I have been seeing Jennifer, I'm standing straighter and engaging my core and I just feel better! When I decided to try Pilates and did an internet search, Jennifer's knowledge and experience is what first got my attention. After talking with her, I knew she was the one to whip me into shape! She listened!!!! Then she designed a program suited to my needs and abilities. If you don't want the ordinary, run of the mill pilates workout, I highly recommend Jennifer. Not only is she highly trained and knowledgeable, she is a personable, patient and caring individual."
