One Month In.

Wow. One month in. I can hardly believe it. There are these moments—usually when I’m teaching—where I’ll look around, see all of you moving and laughing and sweating, and I get this wave of emotion. I have to take a deep breath and remind myself not to cry so I can keep cueing your abs.

It’s surreal. This space that lived in my heart for so long is real, and I’m sitting in it right now writing to you with a heart full of gratitude. Every time you walk through the doors, I’m reminded of what a gift this is—that you chose me, and chose this space, to move and grow and be in. Sometimes I catch myself hoping I don’t wake up, like this might just be the sweetest dream.

A lot of you don’t know the whole story, so I want to take a moment to share. For 18 years, I poured myself into a company I truly believed in. I led teams, built programs, spoke on stages, and helped people grow—personally, professionally, and financially. I created what became the company’s largest wellbeing initiative, and out of 77,000 employees, I was in the top 1%. I was proud. I was thriving. And then, last October, I was laid off.

It rattled me. But also... it cracked something open.

I had been teaching Pilates for five years at that point—just out of love. It was the one place I felt most aligned, most grounded. So I paused, took a breath, and asked myself the big question: What if I stopped building someone else’s dream and finally built my own? What if I brought everything I know about belonging, wellness, leadership, and movement into one space?

Nine months later, here we are.

I traded cross-country flights and Zoom calls for a community that moves together, sweats together, and celebrates being human together. I gave up the “safe” path for something that feels bigger and deeper than a job. And I’ve never felt more alive.

This space is about you. No matter your size, age, background, or where you are in your journey—you belong here. We aren’t just moving to feel good in our bodies… we’re learning to love our bodies for exactly how they are, right now.

I have so many ideas I want to bring you—but I’m reminding myself to take it one at a time. What I can promise is that this will always be a space full of heart, connection, and creativity. I’m committed to building something that feeds your body and your soul.

Thank you, from the deepest part of me, for being here. Your presence is not something I take for granted—ever. I’m giving this everything I’ve got, and it’s such a joy to share it with you.

With all my love,
– Jess
