I love working with Jill. I always leave my session feeling relaxed, peaceful and comfortable in my body. Her cheerful encouragement has been just what I've needed to work slowly, steadily and safely through the process of rebuilding strength and establishing increased flexibility and good alignment. I have greater body awareness and renewed confidence in my body as a result of our work together.

Pilates with Jill Gridley is a key component in improving my health. I need an instructor who is willing to work with me and my physical limitations. In Jill, I have found someone who not only has the required knowledge and skills, but someone who is enthusiastic and creative in designing a Pilates program that meets my needs. She is a joy to work with.

Ever since I began practicing Pilates with Jill I have developed a greater awareness of the mind body connection. Jill is incredibly talented and truly has the gift of healing. My weekly sessions with her spill over into all areas of my life and I have found greater peace in days by applying Jill’s teaching.

Jill is respectful of my limitations, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Although I am 73 years old, with the help of Pilates, I move easily and pain free despite diabetes and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (a rare neurological disorder).

Working with you one-on-one has been one of the best decisions I ever made in regards to my physical well being. I always feel that you are concerned about my safety and that I get the most out of our sessions. Your encouragement took me from a reluctant Pilates class participant to a confident Pilates student. I have enjoyed gaining the strength to do Pilates moves that previously seemed impossible. My personal strength and confidence is a direct result of working with you.

What I love about working with Jill is that she seems to be able to "hear" what my body is saying. If some part of me seems to be out of alignment or is stiff or tight, she can see that right away. Jill has a very innate ability for being able to "read" my body and she uses that information to communicate with my musculature to find out exactly what areas need work. I leave every session feeling free to move without pain and with my posture being almost perfect! Thanks Jill!

It was a relief during a long and sometimes difficult labor to remember and utilize the breathing and relaxation techniques that Jill and I worked on during my entire pregnancy. My pilates experience with Jill made all the difference in the world by providing me with the confidence and inner serenity to transform a physically painful experience to one of beauty and joy.

Jill is a fabulous instructor and coach. I have always been active in team sports but this is my first exposure to Pilates. It has been a fantastic experience for me. Jill is encouraging, supportive, and enthusiastic. She creates variety in the workout and challenges me to improve. The one-on-one attention is great—she adjusts each session/workout to what I need at that point in time (depending on stress, injuries, etc.). I have had rheumatoid arthritis for twenty years and while she challenges me she always practices safety first. I highly recommend Jill to anyone who is interested in Pilates as a workout to improve both their mental and physical well-being. Her energy is contagious.

I think the thing that stands out most about Jill’s teaching is her whole being approach to Pilates. It’s a great gift she gives to her clients. I always feel better all around after a session with Jill – stronger both inside and out.
