Pilates by Jen

I have taken several different classes at Jen Mcwalter’s Pilates Studio in The Hope Artiste Village. The address is actually 999 Main Street, Pawtucket, RI 2 860.
Some of the classes I can speak about are the group bootcamp fitness classes that they teach in the summer. The semi-​private pilates classes that are wonderful with the kind of personal attention that makes you feel great no matter what you are doing.
Jen’s husband Jay also teaches classes if you are a guy and you want «a guy» to work out with.
I recommend this place. Good people, great atmosphere.

A really great studio. The instructors are friendly and knowledgable. Jen herself is an active presence in the studio and is an amazing teacher. I only get to drop in periodically these days, but they always remember me. Great vibe and good classes!

Jen’s studio came highly recommended by some friends of mine, so I jumped at the opportunity to purchase a Groupon that offered 10 introductory sessions. I’ve only been to a handful of the mat classes and there’s already been a noticeable change in the tone of my body. I’m seeing muscle definition, increased flexibility, and better posture. If I had known that Pilates would have made such a positive impact on my workout routine, I would have started doing it years ago!
Jen is professional and enthusiastic, but also seems to have a laid back feel about her. I never feel like she’s being too critical; it’s just the opposite – she wants you to get the most out of each class. She is incredibly encouraging and always provides higher and lower modifications for positions to accommodate everyone’s abilities. Even though I’ve only done the mat classes, they’ve been different every time. It’s amazing how fast the hour flies by! The studio itself is spacious and well lit. I can definitely see myself continuing to come here for classes even after my Groupon expires. Prices seem comparable with other yoga and Pilates studios that I’ve seen.

I’ve been going here for five years. It’s great. The studio is big and sunny, all the instructors are impressive, you get good guidance even in the group classes. There’s a wide range of instructor types, from intense and technical to cheerful and perky. The woman who owns it, Jen McWalters, is really serious about making sure you get the most out of your Pilates practice, but corrections are always done nicely. It’s a good place, no matter what your skill level is. Full disclosure: I’m the studio’s webmaster in addition to being a long-​time client.

Nice, clean studio. The prices are comparable to other Pilate studios around the country. The staff makes a point to get to know you.
