Danielle holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice. After working a corporate desk job for many years she began to feel the wear and tear in her body. This led her to Pilates in 2011 where she fell madly in love with the discipline and soon thereafter completed her classical Pilates certification in Santa Monica, CA. She is a third generation teaching instructor who has experience with all ages, injuries and athletic abilities.

​

Danielle is also a Certified Pre & Post Natal Pilates Specialist under the guidance of Fusion Pilates. Having this additional certification is essential when instructing prenatal, postnatal and menopausal women. Not many instructors in LA hold this very vital certification, or have her personal experience in this field.    

​

Whether she is teaching a private or duet session, she is known for balancing her cheerful, energetic encouragement with butt-kicking workouts, all the while keeping it fun. On a daily basis Danielle is inspired by the changes she sees in front of her as she watches people build strength and make health a priority. Danielle will always guarantee "a sweat and a laugh"!

​

When she is not in the studio Danielle enjoys spending time with her husband and son doing all things LA.

Born and raised in the Bay Area, Devon began doing classical Pilates with her mom as a teen. She would later move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in costumes for TV & Film. After years of being a set costumer for extended hours, Devon revisited Pilates as a way to relieve her body and mind of the stress and exhaustion from her job. She fell in love with Pilates all over again and went on to become classically certified through the Pilates Institute of Southern California, completing over 800 hours of training and practice. She hopes to help others experiencing stress or exhaustion to reconnect with their body and mind. When she is not teaching Pilates, she loves to spend time with her family and two dogs. 

Jess's unique approach to Pilates is a product of merging her corporate expertise as a former Director at a product development firm and wellness expertise as a former yoga instructor. This unique blend equips her with a profound understanding of the demands of a busy professional life and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing well-being. Her journey into Pilates began in 2013 to regain strength after pregnancy; this, combined with her previous role as a yoga instructor in diverse settings, including Physical Therapy clinics and corporate wellness programs (Sony, Paramount, and Disney), and her commitment to expanding her understanding of anatomy through additional certifications has shaped her unique approach to Pilates.  

Jess specializes in working with athletes and professionals striving to enhance their performance and well-being. She designs challenging yet safe sessions and celebrates each client's journey, understanding that showing up can be the most difficult step.
 

Jess lives in Hollywood with her daughter, enjoys a good "whodunit" mystery book, and considers brunch a hobby.
